writing help: Nightmares really hurt. - Help.com

Hey erin. I don’t know exactly what to tell you except that I think you have a gift. And right now, it’s being clouded by awful things because you are so stressed. I have the same problem really. I have been having horrible nightmares about my ex and my friends… not all the time does something happen, but it’s because of the stress. Have you tried any stress reduction techniques? I mean beside your faith and praying? *I remember you’re devout to Jesus Christ* I mean something like yoga or swimming or anything like that? Write or read? Get a dream analysis book, they are a little hard to navigate, but once you get the hang of it, it seems to works well. I don’t know what else to say right now hun, but good luck.

you’re welcome hun. i know you are still young and it gets overwhelming sometimes. sometimes it is just good to get it out :D

LOL, I know, I’m old… but I still remember what it is like to grow up. It’s not the easiest thing we have to go through, but think about this too, it does get harder sometimes. But right now, at this moment, you can do something about it, even it you start off small. But I do think that you have a gift and need to learn how to channel it properly. You never know, this might give you what you need.:D

You will want it if you learn how to channel it correctly. Trust me, I didn’t want it either, but it helps so much right now as an adult. When I was your age, I hated it, it drove me nearly insane. But I learned a lot about it and it got better. Sounds weird but it’s how I keep in touch with those close to me who are no longer here. And sometimes, others who are still physically here. The bad stuff will pass, but you have to let it. Just remember too that good comes with bad and bad comes with good. I have seen that something good ALWAYS comes out of something bad. You will too!

do u know how to meditate? u should learn this and do it each time before bed it really works. oh and if u pray to ur dog it will pass to the next life easier

I get those sometimes too. Not sure what you can do about them, but maybe if you can find some more meaning behind them they’ll start to fade away.

nightmares suck. I have them whenever I sleep now. they arent creepy in a normal HOLY CRAP I’M SCARED! More like…Wtf…that makes no sense but its creepy. Nightnares are a part of life sadly. You’re dreams sound like they’re trying to tell you something or sending you messages. Are these things on your mind alot? Sometimes dreams are like that when we worry about soemthing too much. Um, I read once somewhere that sleeping during the day lessens nightmares (I dounbt it, but its worth a shot if you cant stand them) I’m sorry to hear about the horse. I know how that feels. Luckily your parents didnt actually do that, that would be weird, and your sister too.

sounds like youre psi.
hey just like me!

just odd thoughts of the future. kinda…

what would you say if I told you that I enjoy nightmares? :)
I just got used to them, and they are now just a normal thing that happens every now and then when I sleep.

i’ve had nightmares like those, and then i wake up and i still think they are going on and i can’t get back to sleep. it sucks! i feel like it is happening or really going to happen. but lately i have been going to sleep listening to “music to relax” and it really really works for me :)

i understand what all is going on. i keep having horrible dreams about my boyfriend and this chick and then she calls the next day after 3 horrible nightmares. i dont really know what its supposed to mean but it scares the living daylights out of me. it causes me a great deal of stress and i cant find any stress relieving activities to help. i have no “real” friends to turn to and i dont know what to do about it. please help!!!!

Hey I totally understand this crap. I’ve dealt with the same thing. It’s just your really worried about this girl and its probably your subconscious. Don’t think of it as predicting the future or anything cause it will only freak you out more. It’s not! It’ just what you are worried about. I’ve been through the exact same thing!

And hey, I really don’t mean this in a bad way at all but next time you want help, try to start your own post; some users don’t like when others ask for help on their posts. Just a heads up.

i had a nightmare last Wednesday (not yesterday) that i broke my arm! guess what!
i did yesterday!

yeah lol

ahhhhh my arm itches but i cant itch it!!!!!!!!!!

ahh but it itches!!!! i cant touch it, its like right under the hardest part! where it turns!!!

lol idk where to pinch tho! theres so many places i could but idk where !!!!!

lol i know im bored, i cant do anything else lol

Sorry to butt in lol but i used a straw to itch my arm when i broke it. You might get in trouble with the doctor though (i had all red liney things scratched on my arms after he FORBADE me to do it lol)

And Erin, my friend Pad used to have day dreams, like snapshots of bad things happening. He started doing a lot of meditation, imagining white good light being around him. Dont let fear control you, see it as a special gift thats been given to u for a reason. :) hope that helps :)

It is probably the way you sleep. I notice that I only have nightmares when I sleep facing my ceiling. Maybe it is they way you fall asleep. I don’t really know I am just trying to help.

lol yeah it happens :D

Oh. This is interesting in deed. I suggest you go and get one of those dream books, so you can interpret the dreams, because sometimes they something different than what you see. You dreamed your dad cheated on your mom, then he hurt her. What you saw him do physically is what she may have felt like emotionally. Does that make sense. He hurt her either way it goes. You’ve got a gift/curse babe. I have it too. It’s crazy. But I don’t know. i guess you could pray them away. So what you have are nitghtmares/premonitions. It’s scarry huh? I know. But sometimes it’s fun. People can’t get over on you, ’cause you already know. Don’t just remember the bad dreams. Pay attention to the orther dreams you have, and then see what happens. I know it’s scary, but it can also be fun sometimes. I had a dream earlier this year, that my newborn niece had died, for no reason. Turns out it was a friend from work. Same age as my niece. Mother was the same complexion of my sister in law. Her baby died for no reason. Had a dream I would miscarry. Had a feeling I would too. So hey.. Don’t just pay attention to your dreams, pay attention to your feelings, or if something like a nagging feeling pops into your head out of the blue and you can’t shake it from your mind. Believe it. I hope you get better though. But try not to just focus on the nightmares. Pay attention to all feelings and dreams though

Hell… I’m grown and needed this advice myself. Gotta figure how to channel it. That’s good Erin. I’ve thought about that too, but it’s rather hard to figure out how. Erin..me, you and IBWHOIB need to find a sight for this kind of stuff, yeah?

i never have nightmares because

actually everybody have allot of dreams every time we sleep you just dont remember them when you wake up you only will remember the last dream or the most interesting dream of them if there are no interesting dreams you wont remember anything when you wake up.

dreams are necessary to everybody if you never dream you must have become a complete insane person because dreams are the way we get rid of our stress and of all the things that happened and thought about in our whole day (it is when your unconscious receives everything happened and all your stresses in the day from your conscious)

Not everyone has dreams, but that doesn’t make them insane. And to norealemai, you totally misunderstood what she said. She said that her dreams basically come true. She doesn’t dream about monsters and stuff trying to get her. Her dreams are basically premonitions. In that sense, a dreambook would help her translate what some of those mean.

Whatever. Don’t be a smart azz. You might be right according to what I just read. At the same time, I actually know people who don’t have dreams AT ALL. They don’t remember shyt. Not the most recent or most interesting. They have NONE.
