I had this nightmare a few nights back, and I still can't shake the imagery that I "saw."
It's kind of disturbing and might be triggering so just in case I'll put it behind a cut!

I remember this nightmare crystal clear, and I just can't even begin to think of what it means! It really freaked me out! Any ideas?

Oddly enough, I had opened this page earlier last night to join, and then I was like, "Well, I'll do it tomorrow."

Then I go to sleep and have ridiculous nightmares. Talk about weird.


I remember going to the hospital because I was having horrible nightmares/night terrors that were causing me to lose sleep, or not sleep at all. (Weirdly enough, this is the case in real life, except that I've never gone to a hospital for them. They'd just tell me I have night terrors- things I already know.) So they're performing all these tests, and they're like, "well, we have to do this procedure, but you can stay awake." I don't know, had something to do my liver, or whatever. Irrelevant, really.

When they finish they hop me up on vicodin, which knocks me right out in reality, so in my dream I was yelling at the doctors, "you fucking idiots! now i'm going to get sleepy and I'm going to do the exact thing I wanted to avoid!" No one seemed to care.

Then I was running around, trying to find a doctor to tell again, and every time I told a nurse or a doctor, they would lose their thought process and go blank. Suddenly, unable to do anything. I realized it was their dreams killing them off, and I was trying to stop it before I surrendered to sleep.

I realized you had to find the things that they were dreaming of and "kill off" the nightmare. I was doing it, and things were going well.... then, she got me.

MY nightmare had caught up with me. We were falling. I was seemingly watching it from a movie screen, and we were falling in this black place of nothingness. She reminded me of the girl from "the ring", except that when I was "watching" my dream in this theater, I actually was covering my eyes to not see her face for some reason. Apparently that was part of the solution to her being "defeated".

I eventually woke up, scared shitless nonetheless at 4:45 am, bewildered and terrified. So getting back to sleep was a pain because my dreams tend to haunt me as long as I'm wrapped up in my blankets. So I lay perfectly still and hope she doesn't crawl into bed next to me.

*shudders*

...ugh.




anyway, so hi. I'm sami.
I have night terrors almost daily.

Why you have decided to join: i've had nightmares every night for multiple years now; this past week i've been remembering every single dream, which has become uncommon since learning how to fight dream-fear-paralysis, how to wake up less concerned, et cetera.
Any other information: i was a recovered agoraphobic until a separate illness came about&i'm currently home-bound&recovering again. i've had the same headache for nine months now&it's making my anxiety worse, which, i believe, may be making my dreams more memorable.
