Anyone suffer from them? I have a couple reoccurring nightmares, one which involves me being shot and killed in a gang incident. Another one has me shoved off of a skyscraper by a random loved one. My personal favorite has to be the one where I commit hari kari and die slowly lying in a pool of my own blood.

My dreams aren't always so violent and graphic but these keep coming back again and again sometimes I really dread sleeping.


Anyway, that's the thread.

If I was a studier of dreams, I would say that you (subconsciously) think you are being betrayed.

I keep having a little freaky one, but it relates to flyboys... so I shall put it in a spoiler

In fly boys there is a part when one of the main characters kills himself when being shot down because he doesn't want to burn. I wasn't phased at all by it, I am one of those people who watches Band of Brothers and The Pacific at least once every 3 months. You know gore if you have watched the Pacific. This wasn't anything to me, but in the dreams I had after I am driving a tank in WW2 when I get out to look around of a 4 way intersection. As I am stepping down off of the tank it gets blown up, and arch way behind the tank gets blown up and Panzers come from the remaining 3 roads and before they can light me up I always take out a pistol and pop my self in the head. Don't ever know why sadly and I seem to not have any control over it.I at least have it once every 2 weeks.

I have reoccurring bad dreams. Frequently I'm back in high school failing all my courses. Then there's the one with the staircases without railings where I *must* keep moving upwards and the stairs get narrower and narrower to the wall and I end up falling...

The worst reoccurring one is seeing my family killed. Doesn't happen that often anymore but for a bit I would regularly wake up in a sweat.

Here's my dream chat group if you're interested in talking about dreams. [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/groups/view/The-Escapist-Dreamer-Society]

I don't really remember my dreams anymore, but when I was a kid a had a couple recurring nightmares. The most memorable one was me being trapped in a room that looked a lot like my elementary school cafeteria. There were no doors, I was all alone, but I was watching me freak out like I was looking through a rounded mirror in the upper corner of the room and not through my own eyes. I don't know why it terrified me, but it did.

I used to have one about a month ago where I was in a glass box hanging from a chain above a never-ending hole filled with darkness. Then Pyramid Head came in and I was yelling for him to kill me rather then send me down the hole.

I have boring dreams in comparison. They seem like real life when I'm in them, but it's only when I wake up I realise something was actually strange...

BWONG!

No. I actually have not had a bad dream in years. I can't remember the last time I had a nightmare. Anyway, have you seen any IRL graphic violence recently? That might be causing those dreams.

I have only had one nightmare come back to haunt me twice.

It's about a giant spider that I guess is evil and is trying to eat me and my family. It is very werid. I remember that in the first dream about it he was trying to eat me and my family and mostly succeded but then in the second dream about it him and a army of spiders were destroying a underground city and then the comes to me and talkes to me....

Whats werid is that I'm not even afraid of spiders. Huh.

Thoses are the only nightmares that I remember. In hindsight they weren't even super scary.

I get them frequently, and they are a good sign of repressed emotional issues.

Seriously, if you get a dream often that isnt good its a definate sing that you need to look at your mind a little deeper.

Dont have dreams since my its my body that enters a resting state. (not my mind, for the next couple hours i know my ceiling fan is on, when the vent comes on ect). In my few dreams, it tends to place me in vietnan(during the war), in the halo forge(sandbox), as a spy, or having sex with someone i have never seen. Thats the general themes of my life. I guess they are graphic, and kinda have a decent story with them, but not recurring.

All of my bad dreams involve me losing my teeth in one way or another.

I'm really freaky about teeth. Losing my teeth would be terrible.

i cant remember a dream in which i have died. and whenever im falling in a dream, i either wake up well before i hit the ground or miss the ground and figure out how to fly.
Thats because you actually can't die in a dream, because if you do you would actually die "irl". You can dream of dying, like how the op dreamt of hara kiri, or falling to the ground or something, but the moment your heart would stop in the dream, it would really stop. I read this years ago, and can't remember where, sorry if someone is interested.

/Edit: Funny thing about the dreams where u fall to the ground: It's actually pretty hard to die from that instantly, you have to fall on your head or something, otherwise, without help, you die slowly from your bleeding organs, but somehow our mind thinks that you die when you hit the ground...
Fun story, i think i had a dream where i almost died. I can actually believe this. Like it was so fucking scary i measured my heart rate and checked myself over a few times to make sure i wasnt suffering some sort of attack.

In my dream i was in a room. Outside was hard vacuum. The air slowly runs out, i fall, suddenly white. Now in my dream im passed out, and while dream me is suffocating, im dreaming in my dream about a huge oxygen rich forest. Which over the course of about 5 mins slowly fades to white yet again. A sudden burst of white hot pain in my jugular and im kinda flying/falling into a bright light. I woke up gasping and hyper ventilating, it felt like someone had flushed out my jugular vien with liquid fire. I was fucking TERRIFIED. I think you can die in dreams and die in real life. And i think i came pretty fucking close.

However last night i dreampt i was dovakin/lonewanderer, which was kickass and involved miniguns/super strength. That was a fucking awesome dream. I was kicking complete ass. Its kinda the dream where you realise youre some sort of super human bad ass and just go around enjoying it. Twas fun as hell.

The last bad dream I had I remember being in a ruin with a pale little girl in a white tattered dress following me everywhere I go and a demon chihuahua was trying to kill me. I also suffered from sleep paralysis and that was especially terrifying, after an episode I could not sleep all night.

When I was sick with cancer I would have this reoccurring dream that I would wake up in the hospital and see this figure standing in my doorway. As soon as I saw it I would instinctively know it was death. It never really looked like death, it just looked like a person. But, every time I saw it I would just know in my mind that it was death and that he'd come for me. I'd wake up terrified every time. Luckily it stopped on its own but god dammit I hated those nightmares.

Yeah, I have frequent bad dreams as well, though there does not seem to be a pattern to them, other then it containing random disturbing/disgusting content. One time it might be me having a ridiculous amount of soft teeth, covering nearly my entire mouth (really disgusting feeling. God Fucking damn it.), while the other time it might be someone else's head getting crushed.

It is seriously starting to piss me off. I hate waking up with such disturbing memories. It takes some time to get them out of my head, but by the time I succeed I stop feeling tired.

I haven't had a nightmare for a long time.

Am I starting to miss them? I don't even remember the last nightmare I had. And that's odd. You normally are about to wake up when you have a nightmare, so you are more likely to remember them.

The only time I would ever remember a nightmare would be that I wake up as I am "about to die". I'm gonna assume that's common though...
