Worst Nightmare

[Reaper90]

Usually with Sleep Paralysis i'll be able to just barely make out the details of my room through the slits of my eyelids, so I am aware of where i am and what is happening even though i cant move. I'll try my hardest to move because it feels lime shadowy figures are closing in on me.

That's when the aliens come to get you, and give you probes.

At least that's what I've heard.

I tend to forget a lot of mine, until the dream recurs and I'm like 'holy f**k this one again!'

However I did have a weird/interesting/freaky dream quite recently that has stuck with me

As usual for me I can't remember most the details, but the main element was being  locked up in some kind of white room, in straightjacket with a bag tightly over my head, and the bag was then removed so that two guys in white coats could shove a hose down my throat and pump gasoline directly into my stomach

  Probably means I need to eat more carrots or something

Failing to protect those who are everything to you within the realm of dreams.  Unable to do anything, despite being able to do EVERYTHING.  You FAIL.  You awaken, paralyzed.  You know you are awake, but you can still see clearly, the failure of being able to protect.  Lingering ever so clearly, just in the edge of the blackness, out of reach.  You can't move, you know you are awake, but you still try.  And just like that, it all vanishes as you finally are able to start moving.  Still, you try.  Still, for naught.  All the power you can't even comprehend, let alone imagine, you KNOW about it and HOW to use it, and yet you FAIL, watching them suffer.  A feeling that lingers so very clearly for a long time.


Nothing helps for sleep afterwards. Nothing.  Only time will allow me to eventually sleep again.

I had a nightmare once that I was flying a brewster at 20k.


It was awful. Haven't slept since.

I know how that is because... well... it happened to me. Not in a dream but in real life. Now I have nightmares about something like this happening again, and all day while I'm awake there's the thought of it happening again lingering in the back of my mind. It's an absolutely terrible feeling that no one should ever have to deal with.

Unless i write it down right afterwards, i cant hardly remember any dream i have at all

It obviously hasn't occurred to you that in this dream you are in fact a concept car!

one of my worst

I am holding my 1 year old daughter Izzabella in my lap bouncing her...she is happy... smiling.... laughing...

all of a sudden her head falls off and lands on the floor.....someone says "call ask a nurse" we call them and they tell us to put hear head back on and go to the hospital

we start on our way to the hospital...I am driving...I look back and her eyes are going all crazy...her muscles are all twitching...I look down and see some of her ribs poking through her skin....at which point I wake up.


having PTSD causes seriously bad dreams.

the only thing that helps get rid of them is smoking some bud.

I remember a nightmare from my childhood that I was sick and the doctors plan was to euthanize me. The dream ended with me watching my Dad and older brother taking part of the fence down to use the wood to build my coffin.

Jebus, that was an effed up dream for me to still remember it 40 years later.

I have a recurring one where the trigger of my Glock is getting heavier and heavier to pull as I'm shooting. I end up straining with two or more fingers on the trigger to squeeze a shot of. As far as I remember I'm only at the range shooting at targets, so I have no idea what that's all about.

Btw. I did a search for this one and found out it's a guilt trip for not training enough; not feeling prepared enough. So for anyone else having nocturnal trigger problems (not a euphemism) get your backsides to the range and send a few rounds down range. Should make the dreams go away.

And I thought this was gonna be yet another forbidden political thread....

No matter. As for me, I divorced mine 15 years ago.

[zack1234]

15 years ago?

Well done

I dreamt I was in New Jesey looking for a milk cow

Holy crap.  Now I'm going to have more nightmares...

I have dreams that I'm being attacked by a crack head wielding a knife. I pull my weapon and it fires but my projectile is in super slow motion, allowing the attacker to pull a matrix move.

I also dream that I'm at my grandparents house and King Kong is raging through the town looking for me. As I'm running its as if I have concrete blocks tied to my feet. I have dreamed this particular dream so many times that I often return fire or just let him catch me.

Off topic: Chantix is some bad stuff. The ingredients alone are horrible and I would strongly recommend another route. E-cigarettes are not good for you but only contain water vapor and nicotine which has the equivalent of caffeine. I quit cold turkey a year ago with only prayer. I feel so much better having quit. Good luck on try
