Nightmares ... ?

[Rebel Yell]

I have nightmares pretty much every night. I often am gutted and I watch from 3 different views, in body, out of body, and I watch from the view of the gutter. My nightmares are always bloody and I am either killed, or someone is trying to kill me. They say that you aren't supposed to die in your dreams, because it means you really die, but that is crap. I have died many times. After death, my nightmare shifts to jet black.

This is a nightmare I had a few nights ago.

I was having a dinner party, and this crazy lady and her devil child showed up. I kept trying to think of ways I could get rid of them, so I decided that killing them would be the best. It was crazy. I was trying to stab the chick, but people kept walking in, so I broke her neck and hid her in the closet. Then I killed her kid, I have no idea how, and I threw him in the pot on the stove. When I realized what I had done I felt like shit, but I also realized that if I didn't take off it would be a long prison sentance. The thought of going to hell ran through my mind, and when I heard my guests talking about the "new meat" cooking on my stove I bolted. When I went outside the hills started turning to fire, and everything around me was burning. I totally went to hell.

Crazy shit I tell you.

I usually cant remember very many details from dreams (its funny how your mind does that to you) but there are a few that affected me pretty bad.

I've only died once in a dream, and I definelty remeber every detail of that dream. It wasnt necessarily a scary dream, just really really weird.

You've had some very bad things happen in your lifetime that you are having a hard time dealing with. You also feel that you have done many bad, evil things as well. You are conflicted about your point of view on this though. You don't know whether to submit to these feelings of self hatred and guilt, or to fight them. Whether or not you deserve the blame for these is up to you to decide. These feelings are so persistent that you feel like you are in a living Hell.

And yes, you can very well die in your dreams, though it's not advisable. It's not good for your mental state.

Tell me if I'm off the mark here.

Something about my dreams that impresses me is how resourceful I can be in them. I remember one nightmare I had where my wife and I were being stalked by a scissor-weilding killer. He had long, greasy hair that hung in his face, was unshaven, and decked out in a pale plaid shirt, jeans, and work boots.

He managed to get my wife to the ground, and was about to kill her. I looked around, searching for a weapon, but could only find a telephone. I unhooked the coiled wire that connects the handset to the cradle, and strangled the guy with it before he could kill my wife.

I woke up feeling quite proud that I was able to hold my own in that situation. :D

i love it when i have a nightmare that leaves me in ruins... it means i'm about to make some of my best music :)


i have died in my dreams... it has never really messed me up... however, when family dies.. or people i care about.. it's really devastating.. and it's difficult to realize that it's a dream even after i wake up...

but even though a dream is disturbing to me... i am happy to have that kind of fear and disarray in my life so that i can make "real world" music

I belive that you have dreams everynight, but you dont always remember them, and i never remember my dreams

[thEsounDofdirT]

oh yea.. if you sleep normally hours... you dream... theta waves i believe, are the waves you see during REM sleep.. i THINK.. i can't remember.. i don't have my psych books with me at the moment :)

everyone enters this stage... however, the more you grow old, the less time you spend in this stage.. a baby spends a large majority of its time sleeping, and a large majority of THAT time dreaming

it's a shame we don't always remember though

I have definitely had bad things happen to me troughout my life. I haven't done anything truly evil. I have done things to hurt people that I regret. I don't live in a world of self hatred, but there was a point in my life when I did. I am actually pretty happy right now. I do have mad mood swings though, but the night I had that hell nightmare I was really upbeat. It was like a nightmare, but I found it to be more comical. A slapstick dream of sorts, or something.
