Do you have regular nightmares? I used to when I was a kid but then only dreamt rarely for many years. Now I'm having them regularly and they're so vivid I think they're real until something horrifying happens which makes them duoblt horrible. They stay with me for days afterwards. So how about you? Do you wake up in terror often? |
||||||||

|
i have the most boring dreams ever so they kind of are like a nightmare |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i rarely have nightmares. i couldn't even remember one nightmare, if you would ask me. do they bother you to the extend that they affect your life negatively? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes very rarely have nightmares thankfully, only remember having two or three in my life |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I just can't get the imagery out of my head and it does bother me for a day or two afterwards. Like I don't believe in ghosts but because last night I had a nightmare about my mum coming back from the dead I don't want to turn the lights off tonight. I still remember some of the ones I had as a kid they were so vivid. Like I said I haven't had them for years but they're back so I must have some shit to work out. |

maybe once a week i'll have unpleasant dreams that i can actually recall for more than a few minutes after waking, but they mostly dissipate pretty fast. still unsettling, just nowhere near as vivid as the rebound nightmares i got from laying off weed, had some fucking crazy ones then... i mostly quite enjoy dreaming now though |

jesus sounds pretty bad, yeah im no psychologist but it sounds like you have some sort of supressed emotions/memories that need to be resolved in someway, |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah innit. Does make me wonder why I had such vivid ones when I was a kid as well. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah its weird in it how you can go through periods in your life where you dream much more, I only guess its either down to your current mental situation, you might only be barely aware of, or your brain chemistry changes, diet?, weather? all sorts of variables. I know sometimes I have dreams and they seem to be amalgamations of things ive seen and done through the day, I can only imagine its some weird way the brain encodes memories like when your rendering some graphics, otherwise its terribly nonsensical |

huh, i just rewatched the original "blair witch project". i remember watching it in the cinema, and people being scared as fuck. hihihi. such a good piece of pop culture. all those clones that came afterwards... much props to the makers must say, im super-rarely scared. im more anxious about life and stuff. but i love scary stuff. and i must say, that some vr experiences brought that scare back that i had as a child watching stuff i shouldn't have watched. i got traumatised at around 12 watching "faces of death". i think i wrote about that on here |

Recent nightmares: - About to be executed... - Chatting with my wife while casually cutting my dog’s limbs then realising what I’m doing and panicking (to say the least)... - Casually (it’s a thing in my nightmares) going to my kitchen today get a massive gun from the broom cupboard, and fixing it onto a tripod. I then looked out the window and seven storeys below across the road was a group of people. I casually began shooting at the group without even looking. I then sat down and thought “what am I doing?”. I waited for the cops to arrive and an inspector was sat down next to me asking why I had done this, and I just couldn’t explain. - Losing my dog or him disappearing - End of the world scenario. (Always water rising and a twist in the horizon) Good thing about these nightmares is that you wake up and feel great that it was a dream. They’re so real. I don’t have them too often but when I do they’re always hyper realistic and fucked up. |

yes you still se it referenced in loads of tv shows when the writer is stuck for ideas! |

end of the world one sounds interesting I had an apocalyptic dream once, airplanes like large jumbo jets just hanging vertically static in the air very vivid image |

i had a dream last night where i was stuffing my mum into the gap underneath a radiator then bludgeoning her with a wine bottle... then i went outside into the back yard to confront a giant stick insect. freudian tings huh |

That's intense man! |

The other night I dreamed of kittens giving me love, and then it switched to some psycho killer shit that I can't recall, other than it was psycho killer shit. |

I had an apocalyptic dream once, airplanes like large jumbo jets just hanging vertically static in the air very vivid image ooh that is marvelous, simple image but just loaded with all kinds of meaning and reference |

last friday niiiiight... sorry wrong thread |
||||||||
|
|

|

Yeah I dreamt a few times of big passenger jets being in the sky and flying so slow it’s as if they were standing still. Creepiest bit was that hey were flying upside down. |
||||||||

try to explain your nightmares.. most of the time it's telling you something that's bothering you or keeps you busy in real live. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It appears I’m more angsty than I think. Being hurt, hurting people, and impending doom apparently preoccupy me! |

Last night I dreamt I lost a tooth and then was showing someone a scar spanning my dog’s neck explaining that someone had slit his throat. Meh. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Poor pooch! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, a lot of the nightmares I’ll have show how much he means to me. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
buy a book that explains dreams.. tooth losing is pretty regular in dreams |

@tony and @russell, yes some stark images stay with you, I was reading a lot of surrealist European comics at the time so that probably effected my mental processing |
||||||||

I dreamt I was going down some wooden slides with shallow sides in some sort of anachronistic 70s holiday park, the slides interchanged paths so you could go from one to the other, |

I know what it's like to have nightmares that stick with you for a few days. When my home was robbed (and my computer with all my music project files stolen) in 2015 I was traumatized and had recurring nightmares about coming home to my house at night with a burglar waiting in ambush for me somewhere inside. In the dream, my house was a much bigger version of itself with a layout that was always changing and rooms I had no memory of and couldn't predict. The dream would always end with me walking into one such room and the burglar stepping out from behind a hiding place to put a loaded revolver to the back of my head. Right before they pulled the trigger each time, I'd wake. I've had other recurring nightmares, and many other non-recurring ones. Most days, I'm much happier when I don't dream at all. I'd rather no dreams than a mixture of good dreams and nightmares. Even the "good" dreams have a tendency to negatively affect my psyche, because they're like a better life dangled in front of you and then yanked away. I think as crazone says, most nightmares can be explained by some trauma or deep anxiety in one's waking life. But I think Hyperflake is also right that they're sometimes just your brain's encoding of daily activities. My most recent was just last night, and in it my cat's litter box was the size of a horse's trough, and she had filled it up entirely with poops, and I had to scoop all the poops. Maybe that's not a "nightmare" in the classical sense, but it was shit. |

i wake up in terror... but no nightmares. i have a lot of lucid dreams in which i know im dreaming. I can control them somewhat at times. |

I often have nightmares. There seldomly happens anything violent or scary, but the pictures my mind comes up with, could be straight out of a horror flick. Or they couldn't, because the weirdness and horror is unmatched by any film. I however came to enjoy my nightmares. They are visually creative, and psychologiclly really effective in inducing fear. All in all i have to problems with them. |

I had quite a specific dream last night I remember, I was in college or university or something, running this experiment with 3 different flasks of fluid/chemicals on each side of the room and a French delegation of a man and a woman came to give me a prize for my experiment, and the French guy opened one of the flasks and saw it had evaporated mostly and realty arrogantly said their is a penalty to your prize, So I told him to stick his prize up his arse, and I remember getting really angry and thinking im going to hit this guy and walked down a busy corridor after him. Then I woke up |
||||||||

|

| |||||||||
|
|
lol, have you had any trouble with french people irl |
||||||||
|
|

a couple weeks ago i was on the elevator down after da work and one lady says to another "good night mare" as she steps off the elevator. "you too" it took a good few seconds of processing before i realized it was actually "goodnight, mar" as in mary, marilyn, etc. |

avent read the full thread, but heres a trick to help realize youre dreaming that might work for anyone to control your dreams. its not a new thing and i posted it some time before. when i told a friend of how i loved to float or fly in dreams as a kid and somehow lost the ability, she told me this trick: look at the open palms of your hands while you´re awake and say to yourself "i´m awake" repeat it for few seconds and do this regularly like once or twice every day. over the course of a few days you might find yourself remembering to look at your hands while youre dreaming and shazaam, you´re the master of your dreams .-) tried that long time ago and i got it working to the extent of realizing im dreaming sometimes even being able to alter a dream before i woke up. |

Last night I had an ‘episode’. I woke up and saw these dark figures in the bedroom (like evil midgets), surrounding the room. Completely lost it, kicking and screaming until reality set in. Somehow managed to move the bed to the other side of the room during the panic and accidentally hit my wife in the face. |

jesus, you didn't watch time bandits did you? anyone had this dream? |
||||||||
|
|

|

Not in years... I didn’t get the feeling these midgets wanted to take me on a time journey |

in my dreams i'm just running around trying to get things done |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i run around with hope that i'll finally get to the bar at the end of the day and order my first beer. sometimes i'm even close to the bar i see it but i never get to it sadly sniff sniff |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
haha, yeah |
||||||||
|
|

I think the house is haunted. I just managed to tap out of that frequency luckily for sanity. ominous silhouette little figures, gathering around me. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah perhaps phasing into your dimension temporarily Ive never seen any shapes or shadows, Ive had weird unaccountable occurrences, once a pinboard was taken off a hook and placed on top of the kitchen bin twice in successive days, and I was the only one there, and it couldn't have fallen without the wall peg coming off, I really don't understand that to this day |
