have you ever had nightmares???

I've had nightmares. In fact, i've had a lot of them. But i'm used to them. But they still come by so fast I can't even write them down in my journal, or even type them in my laptop. But sometimes my nightmares are very creepy, and I kinda see these "end of the world" nightmares, and sometimes about my family i'm trying to move away from. I keep a "Journal of Dreams and Nightmares" just in case to keep track of what I saw. But as I said, nightmares are normal to me.

Yes i have, sometimes i dream that i'm falling and wake up after that. Dreams or just that dreams and i don't let it freak me out the whole day driving me crazy.

hi maribea, i went through a very bad phase a fewmonths back, i am still going through it. but those were the days when it just started to get so bleak. i came down to parents' house and living with them. i can still remember those terrible nights when i just couldnot sleep. whenever i go into sleeping, i felt some man is standing in front of me and trying to touch me. it was a vague silhoutte of figure and i was so scared that i just wanted to scream out my heart, but couldnot!! all this came into my dreams.. i am still shivering as i ma sharing...it was terrible and i couldn't tell this to my mom instead i prefered sleepless nights with lights on and books. it was out of insecurity and the current breakup, i knew that but the nightmare was not in my hands!! now, hopefully, i am almost over it. still just to be cautious i keep my TV open till...sometimes all through the night. thanx dear.

I like nightmares. I read horror books so if I have a dream that would qualify for a nightmare I rather enjoy it. I know in dreams I can control things so I usually fight back and wow I seem to win. I guess it would be considered mind over matter in that case. I hope you don't have any dreams that you cannot manipulate.

I haven't nightmares often but when I have it's too scary and i think that I have very little times nighmares make them even more scary. My husband use to joke with my sleeping.I just touch my head on the pills and I sleep.In just few minutes after I go to the bed.I suppose must fell lucky about these.I can have a terrible day or I drink a cup of coffee little before I sleep and when I go to the bed I sleep very quickly.So I learn sleep fast and have easy sleeping all the night so when I have nightmares is too hard for me. PS.1:I hope you had a good night yesterday... PS.2:Do you have any news from your translating work?

i had many nightmares in the night and this is obvious for any individual

I hope you had goodnight sleep. I got one last night and I just hate it so much. It would be nice if we can only dream good dreams.

I don't get nightmares, but I don't sleep early either. I tend to think a lot about things and sleep quite late. The best way I guess is to go to sleep tired. Exercising daily sure helps. That way we wont have to worry about nightmares.

I don't like the nightmares if you can call them that, when you are falling. I wake up with a sweat and scared. Only last night my husband woke up all of sudden after having a strange dream/nightmare that involved my mom and me. He said that he was so angry about something that he was throwing things at me and he kept missing me. My mom came out and he started throwing things at her and hit her all over her body. He woke up thinking it was real. Now how scary is that (by the way my husband is not a violent person and hardly ever raises his voice) :)

Yes i will get the nightmares everyday i usually seen the horror movies everyday and after i slept i will get so many dreams and i suddenly weak up and i think it is dream and i will slept!hehehehe

I did not have the exact kind of nightmares I guess. But I did have dreams that made me nervous, sad or stressful. I think it's all because of some unpleasant experiences in my childhood. I often saw in my dreams some people who I was eager to see in real life, but I just could not see him/her clearly though he/she was standing not far away from me, or sometimes, the person would have a veil covered on his/her face that I tried to unveil but my hand was too frail to lift up and this made me cry in the dream.

I hope you slept better last night. I get them from time to time, but they are usually worse if I am feverish. When I was little I used to get night terrors, which are like nightmares on steroids. I still get them if I am feverish, or if I take a certain kind of antihisitimine/decongestant which seems to lower some threshold in my brain. With nightmares I am usually too freaked out to go back to sleep, but with night terrors, the terror doesn't last long and I am usually really confused and out of it and can't quite even remember what the problem is if I am brought out of it. It's a bit like sleepwalking.

yes i had some nightmares

I always have nightmares with monsters like jason, freddy, and so on! Its so real!

yes i had one just recently after watching movie called black christmas wierd

Our subconscious mind is playing games with us, isn’t it? I have nightmares once a while. Some of them are telling mi about the future and I don’t like it at all. Dreams come from emotional expectations during waking hours that are not fulfilled so the emotional arousal is never 'switched off.' We dream to 'complete the circuit'. The majority of nightmares intend to shock us in order to get our attention—shock therapy from our subconscious mind. When nightmares continue over a long period of time, they become destructive. Write it out. Write out the whole scenario, including what happens when you wake up, if you sleepwalk, etc. You can rewrite the nightmare and replace disturbing images with comforting images. Imagine a more pleasant ending. Talking to someone also helps….and the best is to talk to your mylot friends…:)

I have a few times but not in awhile. I have learned not to read or watch a horror book or movie before I go to sleep or I will. I haven't in awhile. I have had sreams of drowning and of snakes that seemed so real untill I woke up.

I have nightmares sometimes and they really freak me out at the time but later on they seem less scary. Last night I dreamt I was in a strange house with my husband and another couple (in the dream I knew them but I can't remember who they were). I was aware that we were all hiding from someone or something but didn't know who or what we were hiding from. Suddenly someone put a hood over my head and tried to suffocate/strangle me and I was calling out for my husband and I woke up in a sweat. My husband had already left for work and I was quite shaken up at the time. Later in the day I remembered that I had watched Desperate Housewives last night and one of the characters hung herself - I don't know if that's what made me dream that someone was trying to strangle me but it seemed like a completely random dream. I often try to analyse my nightmares as soon as I can after having them as if you don't think about them quite quickly after you've had them they tend to fade from memory quite quickly. Usually nightmares I have are a mixture of things that might have happened during the previous day and/or something that might be troubling me. Often when I have nightmares it's when I've been watching a serious film or something with even a slight bit of violence or horror in it. Basically I avoid horror films like the plague and if there's a scary movie, even with comedy in it that I want to watch, I'll record it and watch it during the day! The best way for me to avoid having nightmares is to do or watch something fun just before going to sleep. Doing something fun, I'll leave to your imagination LOL! Watching something fun usually means an episode of Friends, I have all 10 series on DVD and have watched them all over and over - they fail to make me laugh and cheer me up as well as help me unwind. Big hugs to you and think sweet thoughts! x

Good luck to you, I hope this works for you. I call my nightmares, "night terrors" as they are quite real to me and my hubby says I will scream out and be terrified when I waske or he wakes me becasue I am screaming. Mine are reliving past events also or events that I greatly fear happening. I have PTSD, undiagnosed, but I know this is in me. Through therapy I learned that bad past life events, can revisit us unannounced and unexpected. I will usually take a sleeping pill the next night as then they (the dreams or terror) cannot enter. And ususally it is needed as sometimes I will lay awake aftr as you get afraid to sleep. Sometimes though these night terrors will happen and the next morning I don't remember any of it or even screaming out. I hope yours are not this bad. Sweet dreams!!

yes sometimes.. like one night i just woke panting beacause of a bad dream. really bad dream
