I rarely got a nightmare and last night was really unforgettable for me. I saw my older sister lying inside a coffin. It was too shocking and I dislike what I saw. The sight of my older sister reminds me of what my dad looked like when he was returned to us already inside a coffin. I felt like something pinched hard my heart. I hope nightmares do not occur at all. It gives me fright. What about you?

I don't have nightmares very often. When I do have nightmares, they tend to be about realistic scenarios. I never dream about fantasy nightmares. They are usually about someone hurting me or betraying me. I guess that's a real-life fear of mine, so that makes sense.

@annierose I think everyone has been badly hurt or betrayed at some point in their life. I have been hurt in the past. I just find those to be more fearful than anything because they could really happen.

@lexinonomous I know what you mean about the realistic situations. I had a dream once while I was still in high school and it was about me getting replaced in my rugby team. I guess our realistic fears come to life within our nightmares and it's not always about monsters.

@Lucky15 I am very scared of snakes too. What did the snakes do in your dream?

Fortunately I don't have nightmares very often, but sometimes I dream about being trapped inside a burning house. Another time I had a nightmare about snakes and huge spiders.

@annierose Over the years I have had severel nightmares about fire, but I am not sure why. I haven't been involved in a fire. The nightmare about snakes and spiders was also very scary. The entire wall was covered with spiders

@Porcospino Have you asked other people about it? Perhals they can give you a good explanation behind those nightmares. Maybe those nightmares want to give you a message? Do you think so?

It is same here. Once I can remember something from my sleep, it really does not happen at all in real. By the way, it is morning here. I had a great sleep. How about you?

@JESSY3236 Maybe it is better to expect it so it will not happen. I think we got nightmares when we do not expect it.

@annierose I had a good night last night. I thought I would have nightmares after watching a scary movie a days ago, but I haven't.

It could be so frightening! You should pray for your sister's safety. Hope you won't have it again.

@annierose yes, and there is a superstition in our country that if you dreamt that somebody passed away you should not tell it to anybody yet, but after you had bitten a wood! ha ha ha! I do it just for the sake of doing it. I also pray for it not to happen.

Dreams that's unsettling? What does it mean?

@annierose dreams that makes me anxious to know that it could really happen. I used the word unsettling, because I never wake up with sweat and fear like nightmares. It just worries me that it can happen in real life.

I used to have nightmares when I was a kid, but now, not anymore. I do have bad dreams, but not that terrible so I won't call them "nightmares". Like a few days ago, I dreamed that I lost my credit card lol. When I woke up, I was so relieved that it was just a dream. Maybe I think about money too much. That was a terrible nightmare. What happened to your dad, if you don't mind my asking? :(

Plenty of times. This is one reason I try to have a better meditation routine and it helps.

This is a terrible nightmare. I had several in the past, I remember that I saw that my father was dying... unfortunately it was true, just while I was dreaming he was dying.

That is an awful nightmare to have, but you probably miss your father so much. I have humduzzies every once in a while.

I'm sorry you had a bad nightmare like that. I hope it doesn't come about. I get nightmares, but not often.

Thankfully, I don't have nightmares especially with my loved ones in them. This can be quite disconcerting to you. Nothing bad should happen to her and maybe this occurred due to your anxiety about her welfare - siva
