Ok so this is something I don't have anymore but I have had before, for those of you that don't know the term it is when your having a nightmare you wake up and are still having that nightmare (so basically hallucinating while half asleep) The one I had was me running down a street at night lit dimly by orange street lights, I kept looking back as I ran seeing death coming after me not going particularly fast but somehow catching up to me. I kept running and running but somehow it felt like I was slowing down then all of a sudden I'm walking at a desperate pace, I look down at my hands and I'm old. I look behind me and death is towering over me, it engulfs me I wake up to find my self staring straight up at the old me I just was, she leans as if she was about to eat my face. I'm having sleep paralysis at the moment but manage to lightly swing my hand at the woman then shes gone. I lay there for about 20 minutes terrified not able to move, then finally manage to pull myself together. Scary stuff lol. anyone had anything like this before?
sounds sorta like a dream my dad told me about. he said he woke up from a bad dream, feeling pressure on his chest and he couldn't move. he saw a shadowy figure that told him "this is how it's going to be" creepy
I have had other experiences like this before but they weren't terrifying like this, so I'm not sure if maybe its a paranormal thing entering dreams or what.
Gotta say that for me reality is the challenge - I had honed my subconscious to take a degree of charge over "the visions of the dark" I also have a pad/paper by the bed and write down all that I can remember - that way I can analyse them and formulate a strategy for if they occur again However, Is it, just me then?
I don't really have nightmares anymore, I had that one a couple years back. But I have kept a dream journal before, need to start doing it again its wonderful when you can remember them vividly
I'm on citalopram and they give me very vivid and very whacky dreams at times, ususlly in the morning i can be semi-concious and still be dreaming, wake up breifly and fall back into the same dream. I usually have been having the same dreams of me going to jail, going through he processing stage and the general anxietys that come with going to jail. I have actually been to jail, it was no a particulary bad experience and i was lucky to be heavily sedated for the first week however it has obviously had an effect on my sub-concious, mainly i think this will go away after i come off citalopram, i wish i never needed to take they shitty pills but unfortunately i really do have to at the moment for anxiety.
Hi Chris Citalopram is not officially recommended for people below 24 years (says 23 at your avatar), when given to teenagers it even seems to have caused suicidal thoughts. Who prescribed it, was it your regular doctor? You should always consult an actual psychiatrist in case of psychological problems as they are experts in psychopharmaci and the adverse effects they might have.
I really think pills are no good, I used to have severe depression when they put me on pills it made it worse then made me numb for awhile, then I got depressed again. so they switched meds then I attempted suicide like 2 days after. But in the end I decided to stop taking meds and I got better. That stuff fucks with your head to much.
