Worst Nightmares, Anybody?

[darkangel13]

My 'worst nightmare' when I was little was a recurring dream that my mom was running away, up the hill out of my old neighborhood in slow motion(the one I lived in at the time).  There was a sparkle of sunshine on her as if it was being video-taped or something of the sort.  I would oftentimes wake up crying.  I have already interperated most of this dream (i never thought about the sparkle of sunshine too much, although I would like to figure it out), and realized that I was not showing my mom as much love as I should've been, and it was creating problems between us. I had the dream on and off from the time I was 5 or 6 until right before I moved from New Jersey to Tennessee, where I live now, soon after I turned 11.

I haven't really had too many nightmares since then, because in my mind, a nightmare is a dream where the emotions involved are negative, be they fear, sorrow, etc... and as long as the dreamer doesn't apply those emotions to a dream, they aren't too scary or sad.

I agree about the negative emotion thing.  I've been eaten alive in dreams, but I felt no pain and I didn't really give a flip what was going on.  I've been pounded, chased, attacked, whatever.  Come to think of it, I don't usually feel much of any emotions in dreams except for occasionally strong love (and others, but in even less quantities than that).  At least I don't have nightmares:p  The few times I do end up scared I wake up instantly.  I think the worst nightmare I had was when I woke up and my mom knocked on the door all ticked like and it freaked me out because I was still half-asleep

When I was a kid, I used to have recurring nightmares when I got sick.  I always dreaded being sick, because I'd dream it every night until I felt better.

In my dreams, there were dot races.  Little colored dots (all diff colors) would be racing.  Then I would try to shake it off, and I would then be in a room waiting.  The middle part of the room was normal and there would be a couple of other people waiting there.  Along the left wall, I could see three layers of people.  They were very tightly squished together and the middle layer was moving in the opposite direction of the upper and lower levels.  I always got afraid at this point because I knew I would have to get in there, and I was terrified.  Then the lady's voice would start talking to me, and she always put me down and told me that I would always struggle and have a hard time.  I would never be good at anything.  When she would start talking, I'd be up and walking around my room with the lights on.  I would wake up and I could still hear her.  I hated her because she was very mean.

I never understood what this whole experience was supposed to be.  I can tell you that it did cease when I got in high school.  I started to try not to dream this dream when I got sick.  The part I hated the most was that woman's voice. I have no idea who she is, or what it was about.

I just thought I'd share that with you all.

Many years ago, when I was much younger, after I had just met my first wife, we found out that she was pregnant.

Yeah, we were stupid and careless, and we were scared at the time, because we were young and hadn't really lived very much.  I can honestly say it was the most serious thing that had happened to us both up to that point.

After much deliberation and soul searching, we decided that an abortion was the way to go.  Our relationship was not an issue, and indeed we were to later get married and remain that way for over 10 years, eventually having three children together.  Still, we were just starting out, and in no position to be starting a family.  We didn't 'want' an abortion, but it was one of those decisions that life forces on the ignorant.   So we went through with it, without complication, and went on with our lives.

The nightmare happened about a week after the abortion.  It was late morning, on a weekend.  I remember that the sun was full up.   I had awakened slowly, laying in the bliss of the morning, and in a completely relaxed, half asleep hypnogogic state.  Then it appeared next to me, standing by the bed, a burned, blackened, bloody corpse of a child, and it seemed starkely real.   He reached towards me and said "Daddy" in a pitiful, panicked, childlike voice.  By then I was screaming, or trying to, but I was still in night paralysis and could only moan wretchedly.  After a few seconds that seemed like hours, I was able to roll out of bed onto the floor on the other side of the bed and the apparition disapeared, never to return.   My heart was thundering, and I was so scared I was sweating profusely and felt ill.

That was the worst nightmare I ever had - and it taught me a respect for life, and a responsibility.

Hallo everyone.

I have terrible dreams in 4-5 days in a ROW. OMG, i was in fear to go to bed. This was happen back at 2000. I entered this dream world that i should not entered, regretfully, some spirits hold my sleep everynite. I could not describe this terrifying dreams because it's undescribeable.

I have to scream to get out of there and bring my scream until i woke up. Last one ....... didn't work ....... lucky thing quiet a while, i woke up automatically. Then i went to my pastor to get pray, then i have good nite sleep. NOte: I wasn't have any negative emotion at all. Now they come back again because i'm not faithful, i have to call out "GOD help me" to get out of there.

Watch out guys, OBE is something that u shouldn't play around with, they are ruler of spirit anywhere, i felt and seen them and it's death horrible. Cheers

[holy reality]

i don't mean to criticize your views but there are an infinite amount of other solutions to your nightmares rather than "evil spirits", you shouldn't limit yourself to that way of thinking.

I mean it's like if you see something bad in real life, like a buildling blowing up, then you fixate upon how bad it was, you are going to dream about it over and over again.

If you have a nightmare about something, and you convince yourself it was a spirit and that you are being haunted, you ARE going to have more and more dreams about that "spirit" but it doesn't necessarily make it a real spirit.

If you see a scary movie that really bothered you you're going to have a lot of dreams about it, etc... it's the same principle.

Whether it is a real spirit or not, if it keeps bothering with you, YOU need to deal with it, have faith in yourself, don't try and hide, don't run to others for help... look to YOURSELF for help, if you aren't big enough to help yourself, how is a preacher or God going to do it for you?

I'm not sure what religion you follow if any, but you've probably heard the phrase "God helps those that helps themselves" ? If the spirit could kill you, you'd be dead by now, so fight it... seriously, why should you let it control you? Fight it, beat it, stop thinking about, stop worrying about it, and it'll rarely if ever show up anymore.

I went through some weird things with "negs" but getting caught up in worrying about whether they are real or not makes no difference. If they are real, you're screwed, if they aren't, you're still screwed because they wont' leave you alone. So in the end it doesn't matter the slightest whether they are or aren't, what matters is overcoming them, and the only way to effectively do this is on your own, you can gather support/faith from other people, deities, etc, but the ultimate factor lies within YOU defeating them yourself.

I mean, for example... if I put all my faith into this styrofoam cup I have right here, and I believe that if I ask it to, it will protect me from spirits in my dreams, and then I ask it to tonight, I'm probably not going to have a bad dream, becuase I feel secure in knowing that the cup will take care of me.

But how long is that going to last? You have to have faith in yourself in order for faith in other things to work. Have some fun combating these demons in your dreams, it is very satisfying, though hard to do at first. But like I said, if they could hurt you, you'd be hurt by now, so there isn't much to worry about if they confront you, give them a good beating and tell them to leave you alone, and try and keep your mind open to other possibilities.

You don't know whether they are real or not, they could be representative of problems in your life, or watching too many movies, being malnourished, etc, etc.... so think about the other options, too.

also, stay out of the psychic self defense forums, garbage in, garbage out. Reading those forums made me become preoccupied with the fancies of "negs" and voila, they started showing up. Stearing away from that kind of reading stopped it.

It's like I could tell you a story about certain really bad things that can happen to you while dreaming, and then you'd be likely to experience them because you worry about them. And all it takes is one quick bad thought during a dream to turn it back like "I hope I don't fall into that pit of alligators" while flying over them.

So expose yourself to positive stories about angels, maybe, things like that.

I'm not saying that there aren't spirits out there, or that the PSD forum goers are crazy, but dwelling upon negative entities is only going to make you encounter them more, real or imagined. It's best to go about those things on your own and make your own conclusions, so if you want to stop experiencing "negs", stop thinking about them, and especially reading about them, and when they do come try and figure out how to defeat them on your own.

Some people will disagree with me here but I went through it and it more or less worked. All it takes is a few passing thoughts about a thread you read about negs to cause a nightmare about them. The key is positivity.


having said that.. probably my worst "nightmare" ever was my first episode of sleep paralysis with visual hallucination... I saw a cloaked figure with a huge sword floating at the foot of my bed at around age 12, and I really thought I was about to die, like it was the grim reaper for real or something, becuase I couldn't move and I was awake, and I had no idea what could be going on.....

It terrified me for a long time.

[TradeMAAK]

Once I was running away from some drug dealers, who wanted to stab me with that needle. I knew I would become dependent on drugs so I run away. I realized it was a dream, but it seemed so scary to me and I was afraid that it can have also some physical impact not only mental, so I jumped from the second floor to wake up...I didn't wake up. Then I ran to the 4th floor and jumped down and then I woke up. It has happened many times that I start to fall from a tree,house, something and wake up...I guess that's not good.

I was afraid of the physical impact because once I dreamed that somebody hit me hard in my nuts and I woke up and I felt a strong pain in that region. From that time I am afraid of being physically effected in my dreams...strange...

Also, I believe the worst thing is when I fall on the street and I am too weak to get up and I see that there are cars in the distance. And I am very afraid not to be driven down, because I can't get up. Or another thing - someone attacks me and I can't fight back. I even think where and how I am going to hit the enemy but my hands and legs are heavy, my attacks are super slow and I can't physically do anything, even if my mind tells me I can.

These are the worst dreams I have had. Can anybody explain them?

[findtruth]

I get the falling dreams a lot and what's common is i'll often be walking along someplace i was that day and the world tips and i fall or i trip on something and gravity just seems  to draw me downwards.  I read in a dram interpretation book (but really dreams have to be interpretated according to your own symbolism) that it means that someone close to you is holdin you back to where you want to go.  We could stretch this just to mean that you feel as though your failing(falling), getting deeper into trouble, or are not obtaining your goals for some reason that you feel you can't stop.  
The falling dreams stopped after i got a serious dose of reality and confidence
I havn't had any real nightmares lately but all the ones in the past seemed to have the common theme of me being chased by something some examples are; a knight with a mace, a giant pilgrim, werewolves, and a Barbie with a metal nail file(i'm serious)  The chasers don't seem to hold much significance to me, but the theme of being hunted down is. Any interpretations?

Well my dream is something like this. This dream happened when I was about 8. Well I was standing out side and I saw my mom talking to some one. I went to hug my mom but when I hugged here she turned into the other person and my mom was behind me where the person was before. And I ran to my mom and then she turned into that person again and my mom was behind me and I kept trying to hug my mom like 100 times. It lasted for a while I woke up in tears. For a little bit I thought I could be adopted and my "real mom was trying to get a hold of me in a dream or something" I demanded I see my birth certificate. IM not adopted thank god.

[wisp]

Hi Smooth,
I'm not the best at dream interpretations. Sometimes I have to think on them for awhile. Sometimes I just plain don't know. However, you do strike me as a charming and creative person. I think that is sooo clever and funny you questioned whether you were adopted. Your a character (and that's a good thing). []

[smooth]

lol thanks wisp ditto for you.

[Jon_88]

Dont think i have nightmares anymore , thought i have dreams where adrenaline is running and is afraid in dream. However now for as long as can remember i wake up and think "that was realy interesting!". Dunno exactly when it started.

[Vicky]

For a week or so I have this dream of me leaving my body. And it aways happens on my previous place where I lived. So I leave my body, hang around and then I see a corpse. Sometimes I would see its spirit leaving his body. Or sometimes a ghost would pass me by leaving me totally scared. In the last dream I ask about my astral sword for protection and a man and a woman come and give it to me. I ask them if they know my guides and they say they wouldn't tell me because : " you are all like that, once you reach your guides you don't leave them alone" and I said I would be different and asked about the name of my guide and they said Karmen. Here the dream ends. As I say in the last week I have been dreaming of leaving my body and seeing dead bodies. [xx(]
And some time before when I used to have a neg in my room I once dreamt of leaving my body (I guess I dream about this all the time, I wish I do it consciously rather than dreaming of it) and I meet an entity right outside my room and I ask it about its name. It said INFINITY. I even asked him to spell it for me. Then I was pulled to my room and saw the neg who looked terrible. I screamed and woke up. Then I fell asleep again and in the morning the first thing I did was to check this word INFINITY because believe it or not I didn't know it before the dream. English is not my first language. It is possible that I have seen it on the forum somewhere but I have never known its meaning before so the meaning is quite odd to me.
Well, these were my nightmares. []

People like to interpret dreams, which is alright.  You can learn a thing or two about yourself in dreams.  But keep in mind that you create them yourself.  The world, the actions of everything in that world, and even the monsters.  When nightmares occur there's nothing wrong with pondering on them, but be careful when seeing something terrible and attributing it to evil entities.  Most likely it's your own creation.  Wish I had a story to tell, but I can't really think of a nightmare off hand.  All the monsters I encounter I end up fighting with no success, but it's not as scary that way for some reason.

[Nay]

Kiauma...that was crazy scary.[:O] I could see were you would learn a lesson there, but I hope you do not think this is the environment the child is in now.  That soul is still having a blast and probably just waiting for you to give her/him the opportunity to come into this world again, if they haven't already []

Nightmares....I use to have plenty with Zombies in them [xx(]  But the one that sticks out in my mind is when I was around 8-9yrs. I was being chased by some cloaked thing.  I get to my house with the sliding glass door, I get it shut just in time!  I turn to see a skeleton in a cloak staring at me on the other side of the window.  The grim reaper is what I thought...  My step mother killed herself a bit later. (never had that dream since...and that was quite enough)

Hey everybody, If someone here can interpret my dream It will be great, It is a very interesing dream that I dreamt twice: The first in the age of 9 and the second in the age of 15 (this year).

This dream starts near me house at about midnight. It was holiday (in the dream) my close family, my uncle and aunt ,my cousins and my grandparents we were all in my house.
Like almost every Friday we meet with my cousins but not with our grandparents because they are from France and when they arrive to Israel (my country) and we all meet together then it is a sign for a special religious fest or event.
Anyways there was a wierd feeling in the world then, It was midnight and they were still all in my house laughing and celebrating on the dinner table while outside the house the sky was red, scary red and there was a silence in my mind even that in reality it had to be a lot of noise.
Even that everybody had a happy feeling and they all celebrated, I had a bad and scary feeling and I went outside - in this part of the dream I realize that the skys are red and there is a satanic atmosphere outside. When I entered the house again (still very scared) I saw this red and scary atmosphere in all my house but in the dream my family didn't see it at all, they just sat around the table and laughed.
I knew something is very strange so I went outside the garden to see my brothers and cousins because I felt alone in my dream like anybody could really see me and they looked like zombies, they didn't do anything except standing and moving a little. I climbed the stairs to my room with a great fear and I got close to my room. The light didn't work and there was a complete diabolic feeling and darkness when just a bit of red light from outside could enter to my room by the windows It was much scary than complete darkness, then I turned on the lights near my room and looked into my room. My shadow appeared from the red strange light and got off of me. My shadow was the scariest thing in my dream, it looked very diabolic and then suddenly he started to roll (yes! roll) on the wall and just rolled in form of a ball (like sonic the hedgehog).
This part was the scariest and then I woke up!
Can someone just understand it?? or even interpret it?

[darkangel13]

hm, that's an interesting dream, Mistic... i'll try to interperet it the best i can...

ok, so you and your family were having a gathering of some sort, and you felt uncomfortable... outside the sky was an unsettling red color, which could mean there are problems brewing (think of it literally)...

you went outside to be with your cousins and brothers, but they looked like zombies... perhaps you feel like they tend to stick together and exclude you, or maybe this symbolizes that you are all growing up and you are going a separate way from them.

as far as the shadow goes, i have no clue really, but maybe that goes along with the changes you're going through, and you don't want to accept that you are growing up or changing. therefore it was the scariest part of your dream.  Do you fear change? this could symbolize that fear.

hope this helps

I felt unconfortable for all the dream even before I realized that something is not normal, I can tell you that the dream really reminded me a Diabolic feeling like the devil was in my house.
It can't be the reason that I am growing up and I don't accept it because I dreamt it in the age of 9 and then 6 years later it came back, and even in the age of 9 i always wanted to grow up a lot and be an adult so I could accept it, and now I really want to see my future so I accept it really well to grow up so it isn't the problem.
The wierdest thing that was in my dream was the separation of my shadow, I thought about it and I think I got the answer.
First of all they all didn't care very much about me and my cousins were disconnected from the world, the sky was red and outside there was a diabolic feeling like all the world was evil except me that could think logically.
So maybe the seperation of my shadow shows like the negative "me" is getting out of me and joins the evil of outside and then I just stay the pure man alone in the world of evil. This is much logic.
But what is not clear is why my shadow started rolling?? he could walk or fly instead so why rolling like sonic??

[darkangel13]

hey all,
i thought it would be an interesting and helpful topic to post and attempt to interperate our worst nightmares.  so in this post  you can explain a nightmare (recent or not) and people can try and interperate them.  interperating nightmares or recurring dreams can help us grow as people, and so i think this may be an important discussion, which is why i brought it up
