Horrible nightmares after Kundalini experience

[Lunarvegan]

Ever since I had my kundalini experience a week ago, I have experienced intensely vivid, often times highly psychedelic, horrifying nightmares. Some of the dreams are akin to having a horrible acid trip. I'm also experiencing apocalyptic dreams, about the end of the earth and sometimes existence as we know it. In most cases, I end up dying at the end of a dream, and then wake up covered in sweat and panicking for hours after I awake. These dreams are scary because they are so real they are almost prophetic. The dreams are frequently lucid, meaning I know I am dreaming and try to wake myself up, but this only leads to many "false awakenings" or even OBEs in which I am eventually pulled back into the same dream, or an equally unsettling one.

What's also strange, is that for a good hour after I actually wake, my consciousness is not settled in one spot in my head - its almost as though its trying to project, even though I am awake.  I can feel it move places in my brain, and I fear that I will have an OBE or some sort of massive perception change if I don't focus intensely on stabilizing it.

As I said in my other post about my experience, I am also experiencing electrical shocks in my brain, and sometimes simultaneously in other random parts of my body - usually decreasing in frequency the hours after I wake up.

I typically have these problems normally when I am off my medications, but I have been taking my medications as scheduled. The kundalini seemed to have lessened their impact on me, as I said... I can only imagine how strange things would be if I were off of them!

Has anyone else experienced something similar after having a kundalini awakening, and if so, how did you deal with it? I'm really starting to dread going to bed now, because its become traumatizing for me to sleep.

Thanks in advance,

the only thing you need to do is keep your chin up and soldier on
now you are sencetive to earths natural negative energys it may take a few months to a year to get used to it and when that happens it wont bother you as much hopefully

I have discovered that whenever I have magnanimous experience such as yours, Lunar, it is followed shortly after by a period of discombobulation, vivid experiences, or depression.  When I make the choice to just ride that wave and let it play out rather than fight it, I find that the experience doesn't last very long.

Sometimes nightmares are just your psyche's way of cleansing itself.

Hi Lunarvegan, I would like to try to help although I didn't have a kundalini experience. Because of that I can only write down what I would try if it was happening to me.

You said that a lot of dreams are lucid which is good, because you can change them. (If you are lucid enough). Your dreams are mirroring what is in your subconscious, which obviously is quite chaotic at the moment. Instead of trying to wake yourself up and end up having multiple FA's, try to change the atmosphere and the settings with intention, by saying/thinking positive affirmations. Like: calmness, peace, love, I am calm, I am peaceful. etc. Or think intensely of someone you love, a person or a pet. Also a good affirmation is, to say during the day and especially when you have to cry:" I deeply and completely love and accept myself." As often as you remember it and at least 10 times in a row, also if you feel the perception change and after you wake up after a nightmare.
Have you ever tried to call a guide for help? Perhaps another thing to try out. Well this is how I would deal with it concerning the nightmares. I really hope you can try this out and that it will help.

were you the girl who smoked weed and has schizophrenia?
i really dont think it is a good idea for you to take drugs, maybe these effects will wear off once your body cleanses itself of all thc in the system? (2weeks ish?)
