This is gonna sound weird but when I get stressed I have really strange dreams...

I will be looking out my bedroom door thinking someone is coming up the stairs...but I know I'm still sleeping. I'm trying to tell myself to wake up...sometimes I can...sometimes I can't. Like you see in the movies the really exaggerated movements when they are having dreams...That's me. My b.f. tries to wake me up sometimes but it seems like when he does it makes it worse. I can't fall right back to sleep or it will just happen again. The deeper sleep I'm in the worse it is. If I take Nyquil or something like that...I'm f*cked.

you know having weird dreams at night can be caused by the foods you eat just a couple of hours before you go do bed. the food lays down on your stomach and while you sleep the brain is still working. which causes your dreams and nightmares.

Also it can be what you watch on TV. if you watch the violence and horror right before you go to bed, that can give you your wild crazy dreams.


you say its like someone is comng up the stairs to get you. In the back of your mind it may be Subliminal. you may have watched a movie where a person was after another person and a scene from that movie the person was coming up the stairs. See your mind takes in so much on what it sees on TV. you could wind up having a recurring dream over and over.


before you go to bed dont watch any TV just read a Book. or have a long conversation with your BF. about whats going on in your life and whats happening in the world. Your mind will think differently which shouldnt lead to your nightmares.


(just an example) if a person sits an watches Horror films so much that person will have dreams that a Killer is after them. Another thing too is someone told me that if you eat a ton of Chocolate that can mess with your mind which can lead to Crazy dreams. (CUT BACK if you can).

Hmm... I havent had a dream I can remember in years, but when I was younger and was having a nitemare, in the dream I would be like "Kev your in a dream! Just bite yourself or something and you'll wake up!" And I would do it and I would wake up! I'd say thats happened like 10 times.. kinda weird.. I remember clearly one dream where i think I was getting chased and I started pinching myself and i wouldnt wake up.. So i decided to slap the shit outta myself hard as hell.. So basically i was running away from whoever was chasing me slapping myself in the face hoping I'd wake up.. As funny as it sounds, I was pretty damn scared!! lol

oh i think i know what u mean, ive had it before but i'd always wake myself up cause i have a feelin like im gonna die in my sleep

... I think i used to have the exact same things... i get some shitt where i "see" my suroundings, but part of it is whatevers in my dreamworld, and the rest is whats really around me, like the stuff in my bedroom or whatever..

i try to move but feel like im just stuck, or try n call out to somebody but nothing but mumbles come out..

that shit is reaal trippy, but i've come to a point where i can basically control it.. before i used to have to get someone to like shake me to wake me up... now i can basically wake myself up. But yea, sometimes i get nosleep cuz it'll just keep happening the whole night

That link said it happens when falling asleep or waking up not in deep sleep. Maybe you are getting bad sleep and this is from not sleeping well.

 

[Snowman]

good point Aristotle. i wasnt even thinking of that. lack of sleep the body needs 7-9hrs. but its tough in todays world not everybody can get the right amount of sleep.

back to Keco.. they say dreams have meaning maybe its showing you that someone is gonna approach you with bad news an it freaks you out by being scared. (Hope you dont get any bad news).

I had it once. I woke up to see a dark shape in my room. In that state of mind I was convinced it existed simply because it was supposed to kill me (don't ask me why). It got closer but I couldn't move. Eventually I woke up swinging at nothing. I was still scared shitless but after about half a minute I managed to think straight and laughed at myself.

it's interesintg that you brought this up, because this has been happening to me HEAPS lately. what happens to me is that i'm dreaming, yet im conscious - with my eyes open, getting up, sitting on my bed - but i still am immersed in the dream, still dreaming so to speak

i usually just sleep in my underwear, and ive had the recurring dream where im serving customers and then i realise im serving them without wearing any pants. so then i get nervous, hoping my boss doesnt realise im just in my underwear - which is when i wake up and start looking for some shorts on the floor. so im awake.. in a good enough mind set to search for shorts in the dark, yet i still believe im in the dream.

oh and i also heard that if you eat cheese right before you sleep you will have crazy dreams.

Do you eat any heavy food before you go to sleep? If so, try eating a light snack instead. A few bedtime prayers wouldn't hurt either (if you already don't) hehe..

That's a good example...
I had a dream once I was on a boat and it was sinking and I was trying to hold on to my lil brother...I woke up reaching under my bed, grabbing at pillows then I realized and I'm like wtf am I doing...
