It's called Lucid Dreaming by Stephen LaBerge

Since i was 14 i've had what i would assume are screwed up dreams and most likely nightmares by other's standards. Usually its mass death, graphic violence and well just things i would hate to have to live out. Sometimes they are just plain wierd. Mostly they centered around the end of the world by various means. Sometimes it was after armagedon, during a war, or afterwards. I actually had the audacity to be raped in a dream. The nerve eh? i started getting nightmares when i was pregnant with my daughter. First time - vampires were taking over the world and i was trying to take cover in my mothers house, but they were already inside and i was struck with the desperation of saving my infant daughter and knowing i couldnt. A nightmare because no mother wants to hold her child and know that there is nothing you can do to save it and that a horrid fate is about to befall. The next one was when she was a toddler. I dreamt she had died. Started off odd with my lil sister falling 40 stories and as i went to see if her mangled body had any life in it - i took her to the hospital. Dreams are funny and instead of taking my lil sis to the hospital i had my daughter in my arms and she was dead and i was standing outside my mother house. My mother said "oh she's asleep" I remember choking on the words of "she's not asleep.. she's dead" I know excatly how i would feel if something were to happen to my daughter as i felt it all in that dream. I woke up, located my daughter in her bed and hugged her crying. Only one other dream off the top of my head that was a nightmare. Nightmares i classify as waking up and still feeling the emotional w/e from it. Similiar to yours actually, but it was a head vampire chasing me around wanting to eat my liver and skin the skin off my face to make a mask. It also had to do with some people i know and left me very shaken. I try and talk to some one and bring myself back to reality and NOT go back to sleep. That and i turn all the damn lights on. edited to add - usually my nightmares center around my daughter so for me i just find her, curl up with her and hug her reassuring myself that she is perfectly fine safe and ok. (which doesnt help with your nightmares.. but its a solution)

Dreams are just unconsious imagination and of course our irrational fears will be a part of them.Don't worry dogs are super anti evil mojo you will sleep protected in the arms of the dragon

quote: ORIGINAL: SusanofO I had a really scary nightmare last night. It was so scary I woke up crying and shaking. It was a really bad one. This is one reason I do not always appreciate living alone. In many ways I like living alone, but - I was so scared and couldn't get back to sleep for hours afterward, and there was nobody to talk to about it except my dogs (who were asleep. Until I tuned the lights on). Anyway - I rarely have nightmares, and have no idea why I am having them now. Does anyone else have these? What do you do afterward? Is there anything you can do about them at all? Just wondering. Thanks. - Susan I don't have THAT one...but I do have this dream that I forgot to finish the last 4 months...and I have to go back. (Freaks the fuck out of me every damn time I have that fucking dream).

Sometimes I get nightmares if my temperature gets too high at night...even caused by a small thing such as my electric blanket being up too high or forgetting to turn off the space heater when I go to bed...or by starting to get sick. Sometimes taking a dose of tylenol before bed seems to help me...especially if I have been having them for several nights in a row. Then again maybe it's just a mental thing because as a child when I had persistant nightmares, my mother used to give me tylenol before bed and said it would make them stop. I don't know. But anyway, it seems to help me. I get some pretty nasty ones sometimes. When I am stressed, sometimes I dream that a family member has died. And not just, "Oh no...my dad died," but going into all-out grieving in my dream and waking up crying and having to call to make sure he's okay. Once, several nights in a row, I dreamed that I was witnessing a child molester prey on small kids at a park and I couldn't stop him.

The only thing worse than a nightmare is a recurring nightmare. I think you should make a journal for everytime you have that dream. Maybe you can figure out what is triggering it , then take steps to break the cycle.

remember: you are in control of your dreams and can be anyone you want to be, do anything you want to do and can change things in your dreams, if you put your mind to it.

~quick reply~ Some medications are notorious for causing vivid dreams (some of them can be scary), you may want to consider that as well.

As a yoot, I had nightmares, many devils about, you see. Now, I have dreams that cause me great consternation time to time, and they have the effects of a nightmare.....wake up and can't get back to sleep with a great feeling of unease, but always lead to the rhetorical question 'Wasn't that just fuckin' stupid?'

Seriously though, try getting some of those New Age music CD's with soothing sounds to play as you are falling asleep. Some aromatherapy and herbal tea would be good too. A nice, warm bath or shower is good for de-stressing. Stay away from the late evening news and any stressful situations before bedtime. And do keep a dream journal, you may be surprised at what is surfacing in your subconscious and what the symbols mean to you. Just remember, someone is always up and Online in the CM Forums, so you can always tune in and chat. Sweet dreams!

Sometimes all of us have very vivid nightmares...like the one where there was an entity in my house and i was getting my family out and i went to conront this thing and i looked in the mirrio and as i was ranting and shouting at it the face started to decay in front of me, i woke up and every time i thought about it i got goosebumps which is weird for me cos i generally do not fear the unknown, well as far as to say nothing so far would put me into a state of fear. You will be told by many people its a psychological issue, maybe its not, maybe its to do with your body experiencing changes as you sleep. The body does its healing and recuperation when we sleep and this can have an impact on your dreams or it could even be an issue you are choosing to avoid, remember nothing ever goes away unless you deal with it head on....

quote: Really Scary Nightmares...anybody have them? Yes... reoccurring nightly. I dream that I'm meeting and getting involved with my ex all over again... I put the gun up to my head to end my misery, but it jams up every time I try to pull the trigger... Then I succumb to her bewitchingly seductive charms, have incredible sex with her, make a baby with her... then another... then another. I wind up loving the kids, so I get myself stuck with the ex all over again for another 20 years. That's 20 years of misery for every night I dream. 20 x 365 = 7300 years of misery for every year of dreaming, for the last ten years = 73,000 years with the witch! AAARRRRGGGHHH!!! ... It's freaking horrible! ... [sm=river.gif] Just Kidding Now back to your seriously scheduled program... I suppose altruism is okay, as long as there's a little something in it for me...

Thanks. - Susan I tend to have them after a night out - too much alcohol. It wires the brain. Usually, I've just plotted and almost pulled off the biggest bank robbery in history. I always get caught and sent to jail for the rest of my life..........then I wake up, think "thank fuck for that, only a dream" and go back to sleep. It's a recurring one. Not sure if there's anything can be done about them but I'd really like to not get caught and see what happens.

seeksfemslave -> RE: Really Scary Nightmares...anybody have them? (2/17/2007 1:27:01 AM)
A quick skim through the thread seems to show that unpleasant mental experiences had whilst asleep are being treated as narratives or stories, by many posters anyway. Surely the truth is that the dreamers are repressing things that in their day to day life they find difficult to deal with, then like an undersea explosion that causes a Tsunami the physche strikes back, and the result is a nightmare. NO ? An honest self evaluation should be a start to reduce the problem and then attempts to change. Much easier said than done I know. I dont sleep well, my mind seems to be overactive, but I dont have nightmares.
