Holy shit. Normally I have weird, unrealistic dreams... but they're almost always about either good, happy things, or just of a neutral nature altogether. Whenever I have nightmares, I'm almost never shaken by them whatsoever because of how infrequent and unrealistic they seem. Not now. About 3 days ago, it all changed to complete hell. So I ended up giving up my terrible caffeine habit, so as you could imagine I'm tired as hell all the time. I've been going to sleep extremely early every night and getting a lot more sleep than usual (because of how dead I feel by the end of the day) - which would normally be a good thing. But right now, I'm terrified of even laying back down. here it is 12:15 AM and I'm scared to death of sleeping anymore I remember weird bits and pieces of dreams - like being chased/attacked by dogs, strange paranormal happenings, and other things that wouldn't normally seem all THAT creepy... but for some weird reason, everything has a weird dark, depressing, scary-as-fuck theme to it. My dreams feel so disconnected and dark-vibe'd that I don't even want to go to sleep tonight. Or ever. I'm actually shaking in fear at the fact that though I don't even remember these dreams, I'm still so fucking terrified. So what does this mean? Is there some deep meaning for why I'm being tortured? Is my spirit crumbling or something? It's entered into my daily life - just the sheer terror has stuck with me day in and day out for the past few days... even while I'm awake. These dreams I'm having are far beyond nightmares. Yeah... sorry for the long read. I'm desperate. I've never felt so mortally creeped out in my entire life. Like I said, it's hardly even the nature of the dreams that are so scary... it's just the underlining vibes. I've had dreams of being murdered that weren't nearly as scary as the shit I'm experiencing now! I just want to figure out what all this means... and hopelly end it. Thanks for the help. I hope I'll find a way to sleep again.
there are a lot of people in this world being wrongfully tortured right now. that puts the kind of negative psionic energy out there that affects peoples dreams in this way. one of the things that happens, i believe, when we dream, is, ok, it doesn't show up in all dreams or anything, but a kind of psychic internet, that connects us all in a kind of parallel universe. i think the only way that's going to end for all of us is for that to stop. =^^= .../\...
What caused this dream could have been many things. I've had a dream or two like this one, one's where I was legitimately afraid of dying in my dreams. Everything was wicked, everything had a touch of death to it... Hell, I was even afraid of the ground in my dream. These went away quickly. I think what it could be is a repression of all the bad in you mind, the way I figure is, without bad, there isn't good. So since you've had good dreams for a long time, the bad came back in full effect. I mean, when I woke up I felt like I was going into cardiac arrest from how fast my heart was going. Look, it should pass, no worries. Sure you're going to be scared as hell to go back to sleep but there shouldn't be anything bad. On the little percent that your dreams are constant and won't go away (doubtful), look into lucid dreaming. This will give you the upper hand, when you're awake in your dreams, and you control them, there's nothing to fear.
"Dogs are man's best friend." Dogs represent your closest friends. The meaning is that your friends are going to turn on you, attack you. desert you. You may not understand why, but it'll probably make you disilusioned and cause you to go into a phase of deep depression (dark, depressing scary theme). It will pass. Everything has to pass. Just be patient.
thanks for the responses, i think you're all right. they passed, but the odd part about it was how the last dream actually started out terrifying (involving dogs again), but instead of coming after me they just stood next to me as if to show loyalty or something. the dreams progressively went from dogs wanting to eat me to dogs respecting me... and i'm starting to wonder what all of this means.
Hi, Dreams bring us messages of guidance. If the message is important and we don't listen, the dreams get louder. Your dreams certainly got very loud which suggests they are bringing you an important message. the fact that you have taken notice, by posting here, means you are now listening so the dreams have changed a bit and if you can remember them you will find they contain important life messages. The other thing is that when we feel terror as the result of a dream, particularly when the dream doesn't really seem that bad, it means we fear the message the dream is bringing. it is important to remember that the messages are always positive so it is not like they are telling you something bad and you are afraid of that, it is more like it is a fear of the unknown or having to move out of your comfort zone. My guess is that you are at an important point in your life and your inner dreamer has some guidance about your future direction and is trying to get your attention - it is hard to tell more than that from the snatches, but if you can remember more of one dream it will be easier to work out what area of your life you need to concentrate on at the moment. Dreams always tell us what the most important next step is for us to maximise our development - it's time for you to take one of those steps - when you do the dreams will subside again. Don't be afraid - you are safe; you just need to listen
ook forgive me for being a lil "in your face" with my religion, but it sounds liek someone's trying to call out to you, and tell you something's going on that's not right...... if i'm having alot of trouble staying on the path, i'll get this dark, depressing dream and i'll ask what it means, and it is ususally that i need to get back in touch with Him.... perhaps you should try praying.... wether you actually do it or not is entirely up to you, and this is only an opinion.
yeah, i'm not religious anymore but i definitely think it has a spiritual meaning. if not spiritual, maybe psychological. maybe i'm just depressed and it's that simple, i don't even know. white feather's response was good too, but considering i've now lost pretty much all of my friends and self dignity, i don't know how it could possibly relate to me.
You said that you just went off caffein right before these dreams started, right? Well, I've read in psychology books that going off of drugs that reduce sleep or dreams often trigger a bout of nightmares. It could have been nothing more than your subconcience mind getting used to not being constantly repressed by caffein.
