I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this but it kind of fits.
For a couple of years now I've been having very intense, vivd nightmares. Sometimes it's just flashes of horrible pictures, things I don't want to even begin to describe. Other times it's about megan I see her standing in front of me covered in dried blood and dirt with a disturbing little sad smile. She blames me for her death, says that if I'd been there I would have made sure she took the long road home and she'd still be alive. Sometimes it's about my youngest sister Jade the things that might happen to her if I leave her alone with my father. Recently in the dreams her arms are covered in deep cuts like mine are just now, she always says that I told her to do it but I'd never do that I like her too much to let that happen to her but she's exactly like me I'm scared she might become a self harmer too. If that happens I don't know what I'd do. I even confuse the dreams with things that have happened, I was very surprised this morning to find my sisters arms completely intact and I had retained all of my toes. Thing is though she told me she had the same dream and doesn't know why she said what she said, I didn't tell her I'd had the same dream I just said she'd been watching too many scary films. My little sisters always been like that, she knows things she shouldn't it was evident even in her first words which were, "bitty margie." my grandfathers pet name for my mother, but that's a whole other story. ![]() |

I would suggest talking to somebody about your nightmares (Besides VT) and possibly resolve them. It sounds like these are causing a big deal of stress. :/

Nightmares should not be concerned about.
Tolerate it like a dream. |

Nightmares, night terrors aside, are one of the worst forms of a dream.
They are usually from stress or physical pain or illness. Nightmares stay in your head. The detail is clear and it normally never leaves you. I used to have a dream, incredibly vivid, of two large dogs, it was based in the middle of the night, I would walk outside, I couldn't stop myself, it was the same every night, and I would see everything on fire, my family would be getting torn apart by the creatures. Then one would come up to me with my sisters neck, clenched in its saw. I'd hear a crack and it'd look up at me. The dog would then say something morbid. How I combatted this, seeing as it stuck in my head, was writing it down, in incredible detail. To the point where my page would be splashed with my tears, I was 12. As it approached the end, I wrote a happy ending. Every night before I went to sleep, as I was lieing in bed, I would read the story over and over and over again, memorising it, word for word with the happy ending. then I would do a breathing excercise, to controll my thoughts from wandering from the happy ending, I'd fall asleep eventually. It took a while to kick in, a couple of nights or so. But it worked. Boom! You scream as the light hits you It radiates throughout your whole soul Boom! The pain is clarity, it cleanses And if it still fucking hurts Then you still fucking know, That you are still alive That you are still in control, if you'd only take hold |

What are you eating or watching on TV before you sleep.
It's a known fact that eating lots of junk food before sleep can cause them. Also looking at something freighting on television, or thinking about something freighting before you go to bed can also cause them. Nightmares are normal to have, but you shouldn't be having one every night. |

I get a lot of vivid nightmares, I tend to get them more when I'm distressed.
If you're feeling stressed out for some reason, maybe finding out why and sorting out the stress would help with the vivid dreams/nightmares? "Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius, and it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring." ![]() |

Such dreams as we all call it Nightmares are just the mirror of our unconscious minds.
The unconscious mind deals with everything that is not perceived by our 5 senses. Even if you have never watched T.V and horror movies, you will still suffer nightmare as they are triggered by several other factors. Major factor is of two. Mental and Physical, you said you are physically fit but that doesn't mean that your brain is. Nightmare triggered by emotions. These nightmare are always accompanied with both of physical and mental strains such as anxiety, paranoia, stress and etc. If you are sad, angry, happy. These helps in developing your brains to project images of associated feelings. I am happy, I get a happy dream, but that's not always the case. Fear is what drives nightmare, the emotions of oneself is a thing to be considered. Geographically position of the body is one of the factor. You are sleeping wrong, sleeping late after a long tiresome day, the bed and the bedroom position and location. History past memories, sometimes dreams are just altered memories which are the make up of your mind but not the way you want it. And sometimes nightmares are just the real life affected trauma, common among veterans of wars or who ever saw the horrors of devastating scenery and even natural disaster. The only thing that is good to remove nightmares is. Sleep well, eat well, exercise early and never push the body, have a good habitual domestic environment, good relationship and over coming certain fears. Sorry for being of topic ![]() |

I feel so proud of myself for rarely having nightmares.
I believe it occurs at a much more frequent rate among those who suffers from depression and other mental disorders. The best solution is to not be depressed in the first place. |

Yes, because you can just switch depression on and off like a switch!

well, in my case, i usually dream about what i was thinking about before i fell asleep. i think you should try that. just train yourself, as my mentor once told me, and it will work. always try thinking about something that makes you smile, and train yourself not to worry. a day might have been long a boring, so save the night for smiling.
try not thinking about dreams that you had before. i used to have nightmares when i was younger, and the terrible thing was that they'd continue the next day. it was like a horror film that never ended -seriously. then my mentor told me about handling dreams. something about your mental psychi or whatever -what i picked up was that you could control your dreams. spend a whole day picking up on the most fantastic moments of the day, and at night just make them bigger and better. you live a better life in your dream. try making that life even better!! xxxxx The Boundaries Between Fiction and Reality Are Wavering, Slightly.
They're giving me a headache. Romanticism is quite cynical sometimes. I'm extremely mentally flustered. PM me. I know how to make people smile. ![]() |

But it does help, usually. Dreams are hard to combat because their something that happens while your sub-consious, thus you can't really fight them off. The best you can do is prepare yourself for it and get in the right mind-set Boom! You scream as the light hits you It radiates throughout your whole soul Boom! The pain is clarity, it cleanses And if it still fucking hurts Then you still fucking know, That you are still alive That you are still in control, if you'd only take hold |

Dreams are thoughts in your sub-consious that for some reason the brain decides to run through without your control. sometimes, the same way a song plays over and over in your head, your brain keeps playing the same dream over and over. you may also have hallucinations just before you sleep. these arent full blown the "trees are dancing" hallucinations, but are much more subtle, like hearing others call your name, a terrifying sensation of falling or a quick dream about falling, or a revival of old memories. You sound to be under stress, which is made worse by your terrible nightmares, which are triggered by stress, they also raise stress, so we're locked in a never ending cycle. a possible way to help prevent you from nightmaring is to sleep on your stomach, and not your back. i suggest you see a specialist, they can help immensely and help you get a better, peaceful nights sleep.

Another thing... Live life and try to be excited about everything. However, watch out for things and people that are not right. Your girlfriend who spoke of the fact that she would still be alive if you took the long way home... To this, perhaps it would mean that you should not be reckless in life, such as driving your car at 90 miles an hour in order to cut down on driving time to your house. Live your life safely, but have fun! |
