I've wondered for a while why my dreams mock me (cross post from lounge).

According to http://www.experienceproject.com/dream-dictionary/Mocking-dreams:

"To dream of mocking means an aspect of yourself that you are ashamed of. To see someone mocking you or making fun of you in your dream means that you are suffering from low self-esteem. Perhaps you are too overly worried with what people say about you."

That sort of fits except I'm not overly worried about what people say about me. I do care about it to a certain extent, but I'm not above drinking a 40 on the front porch which my wife thinks is just terrible.

I suffered horribly from low self esteem for years, but I hadn't really thought of myself in those terms for a while. But I guess I still do have that a bit. It's something from my background that I guess I'm not going to change in just a few years.
