Is there a place on the internet where you can write your dreams? I've been having nightmares every single night for the past two weeks - or maybe longer and can't explain what causes them?
They stay with you all day and telling people about them, helps make the 'feeling' go away.
Maybe we sould start a thread? (I mean a thread entirely about dreams and nightmares).
Don't know if there's a place. A friend gave me a dreams journal years ago, but I so infrequently have "good" dreams that I've never bothered to use it.
It's mostly all icky, horrible stuff when I sleep.
I don't know what causes them either MCKB and they do stay with you through the day, sometimes longer. I guess I'd talk about them more if I wasn't a bit embarrassed about the mentalness of my brain.
I think there was a thread a while ago about dreams and nightmares, I just couldn't be stuffed looking for it this morning.

If you don't want to write a journal of your dreams because it's icky and you're a afraid people will think you're mental, it surely means you're repressing something - which surely would cause your thoughts to come out through other ways like dreaming? What's the point of keeping a journal if you're only going to keep the good things?
oooo...that sucks..I get them very infrequently but it's weird not being able to remember anything sometimes..it's like ..okay why am I so scared? lol
Yes, the waking up with the heart palpitations and feeling completely freaked out and not knowing why, that is no fun. It's weird how your body can have this physical reaction that carries over into your waking world.
It is scary though lb. Weird to be feeling something so accutely and not know why. Do you find you have to get out of bed and go do something soothing just to calm yourself down?

I don't really give a shit about other people thinking I'm mental, I don't need to be going back over my own inner demons in that way. I've always found that keeping a journal only increases the opportunity for others to sneak around and read it anyway and if I wanted them to know my inner most thoughts and feelings they would. I stopped writing a journal a very long time ago when it became apparent that other people couldn't respect boundaries and insisted on hunting them out and reading away and adding to the betrayal by having the temerity to question me about what they'd read afterwards. :mad: I don't really need someone roaming around in my head like that.
I don't think I'm repressing anything, I've been very open and honest about most things to do with me. Perhaps it was something I ate?
those kinda dreams suck jeanie.....sorry it's left ya shakey......i rarely dream so when i do, scary or not, i like them.....:eek:
Thanks love.
The good dreams are always great to have and I've had some great dreams.
I think the best one was at the start of last year when I woke up in the middle of the night, feeling completely calm but sensing that someone was standing right beside me, but I wasn't alarmed or frightened at all. I heard them whisper in my ear, "Don't worry, it's all going to be alright"
Normally I'd freak out that someone was there, but I just turned on the light, saw there was no one, felt completely safe and calm, so turned the light back off and went back to sleep smiling.
I'm sure there's a whole field of scientific study for night terrors which I should probably find out more about. My Dad has them too. I've had some absolute horrors. Even to the extent I was so sure I was about to be murdered in my sleep once that I leapt out of bed screaming, while I slept. Woke up a quivering mess in the middle of the room, flailing my arms around trying to fend off my attacker.

Okay.
Well, maybe. They say that food, books and T.V. can influence your dreaming.
I find watching T.V. or going for a walk takes your mind off it?
aw i'm sorry jeanie :( i've had those too, they're awful. i used to have them a lot when i was a kid, like those ones where you're falling, but i wouldn't wake up in time....ugh!
hope you have some good sleep tonite and some sweet dreams!

Yes, I've heard that too MCKB. Just not really sure what book or TV program could have influenced it coz it's not like I've been taking in anything even remotely like what I dreamt!
My tele in the bedroom is outta action atm on account the zappy, blow up thingy that happened last week. I'm waiting for the electrician to come fix it this week. Hopefully then I'll be able to watch nice, soothing dvd's before bed, or put on some nice calming tunes again.
If I went for a walk before bed I'd be so pumped I'd never sleep!

Oh those falling ones are hideous chiq!
I mean last night's wasn't that bad by comparison to some of the others I've had. More confusing than anything. Scary but not that scary.
I dunno, how come I can't dream about Eddie and the chocolate sauce or something?

okay you need to do this before bedtime, a meditation of sorts
Some guy was hunting me and my brother and my gran with a high powered military style gun and we kept having to move around so he couldn't find us.
I feel like I've been on this hideous trek in my sleep and now I'm awake and exhausted and really nervy.
How come?
:( I'm sorry. I hate when you have a dream and it shakes you up so badly tht it stays with you for a while. Watch something lighthearted and maybe it'll get out of your head.

I'm gonna watch the Oscars tonight before bed and look at them lovely pics chiqui sent me.
Oh and I think it was your birthday recently and I forgot to wish you a Happy Birthday I think. ANYWAY, I hope you had a lovely day.
Last night I had a dream that I was driving but my wipers wouldn't work..and the snow kept coming :eek: Mind you I am surprised I had any dreams after a bottle and a half of wine
