Maybe you communicated with her at the moment of death via a shared dream.

I don't have nightmares either, although I have had a few Night Terrors, where freaky images just flashed befor my eyes in black and white, and then I awoke in Sleep paralysis.


I like Zombie Dreams, they're fun.

I remember on average 4-6 dreams a night, and cannot remember ever having a nightmare my entire life. A little while ago I had a dream where my parents died, it spiked emotion in me but I wouldn't call it a nightmare. It went on to become a lucid anyway. I love dreams which spike any sort of emotion.

i havnt had a nightmare in a while. i remember being a kid and waking up wih my heart pounding, i would be like running from some guy with a gun or someting, but nothing recent.

HOPE I HAVE MY FIRST LD TONIHGT! pm me!

I haven't had nightmares either in a very long time and I had some odd ones during my childhood which I still remember. One was surfaces, it was really weird and the other one was just a warning sign blinking )

Maybe it's my daily one hour meditations for one year now that have expanded my awareness but leaps and bounds. But don't remember having nightmares before that either. Odd.

I know... When i was little i had nightmares, but now i dont. i do still remember what a couple of them were about, wierd huh?

i think it's due to my sick imagination....for example i can watch a totally sick, gory movie and actually laugh through all the horrible parts....(kind of scare myself with that sometimes).

Just about anyone can laugh during a horror movie. It's a lot different when you're IN the horror movie. Everyone's afraid of something, therefore, everyone is afraid of nightmares. I haven't had a nightmare since as long as I can remember and then just a week, out of nowhere, I got one.

I usually don't have nightmares either, and I'm happy for that. The closest thing I get to a nightmare is like poisonous animals that attack me.

i think i know because i used to have nightmares almost every night from 7-10.

One reason is puberty. I think when your well into/finsiehd puberty you sleep much deeper( which is a fact), and so you generally dream less( well rememeber none anyway).

Another is that when you grow older you usually get ore confident.

Another is that as you age your childhood fantasies and fears disappear. Examples: You know monsters dont exist( well your dreamones anyway), you are more educated in science and so know theres nothing in your closet and night and nothing in your dreams is real( beign scared of a nightmare leads to it repeating).

Another is that you are usually busier when your older with work or homework and social life and so your brain has less time to make up these scary images.

Another is that you are exposed to more scary things in day by day life when your older. You watch CSI and see a corpse, you watch the news and see shooting. This lets your brain realise its normal and so doesnt make up exagerated images of things.

anyway these r my opinions about why i;ve stopped having nightmares and haven;t had any dream i remember in a year now( currently 16)

Maybe your just a happy person? I eouldn't worry too much about laughing through awful movie, i laugh through horror/murder sometimes and everyone thinks i'm nuts. I don't think your lack of nightmares means anything in particular, just that your not afraid.
