:confused:Ok i'm about to spill my guts, well its cheaper then finding a therepist.
Well a long while ago i used to live at my grandmother's house with my ma and bro, shortly after i started having nightmares. These nightmares scared me something terrible. At the time i didnt know that i was dreaming about zombies because i had no clue that they even existed. Well i was 6 or 7 at the time and i have been having them ever since. I would understand if it was due to something traumatic but that isn't it, or if i saw something scary. Well thats just it, nothing and mean nothing along the lines of movies, stories, or anything along those lines has ever frightened me. I have a high tolerance for gore and death but these nightmares have gotten worse over the years. My wonderful fiancee said that maybe they will stop when we move in together and i felt safer. I am afraid that they won't stop and that they will continue to be a huge burden on my life. After one of these episodes i would sit up and cry and become paranoid until day break that maybe these creatures were real and i was in danger. I know that these aren't night terrors becuase the symptoms do not match up.
Another thing that scares me to death is the fact that i have had dreams either come true or i am highly sensitive and pick things up. For example, monday night i had a nightmare about my ma's friend's lil girl named sara. In my dream something bad had happened to sara and of course i thought it was just a dream. I easily forgot it the next day but the day after it was naggng at me while i was talking to my fiacee, so i ask ma if sara is ok she was completly thrown off but called diane (sara's mother) and asked
diane said that sara was not ok that she had broken her arm monday durin the day.
I highly doubt that any of u will believe this
but i want these zombie nightmares to stop for over a decade i've been plagued with them and i've began to be paranoid of the fact that zombies might pull a land of the dead on the world.
any help or advise would be greatly appriecated and will add updates if they reacure.
sincerly urs the tombstonequeen, ashey

it could be that they are becoming a subconscious obsession of yours and that maybe you'll have to go to a therapist to get help about this one maybe you can try hypnotherapy.

You need to go talk to someone about your dreams
Keep a journal by your bed and when you wake up write everything down
in as much detail as you can
and go see somebody that can help

Yeah, keeping a dream journal helps a lot. Also, do you listen to music when you go to bed? If not, maybe you should try that. I dunno', just throwing stuff out there.

Took the words right out of my mouth. Dream journal! Make sure you see a therapist though, even if you don't keep a journal. For not sleeping, maybe some sleep pills?

You don't necessarily get addicted to pills, especially if you follow a doctor's advice.

I agree you can get addicted to them under certain circumstances for example when i had anxiety really bad i took them and i couldnt stop taaking them but luckly i stoped.(good thing my dad helped me)
And i agree with the dream journal you should try that.:yes: I hope those nasty dreams go away.
