now this... this was my first nightmare in a while... but ive had it before... i cant remeber most of it.... but the parts i do remember are weird and really scared me...
i call it...

-The Illusionist-

all i remember was sitting at the computer trying to get to a website (dreamviews probably) instead an illusionists website popped up. it had a picture of a man. i reckonised him as a famouse illusionist. i was scrolling down looking at all the cool illusions when a blank area appears on the page (goddamnit it scares me just talking and writing about it) and then i feel these large hands on the back of my neck and hot air down my neck as if some i behid me and then i feel as if i shrunk really small but some how i could still feel hands and breathe. i ran screaming out of the room and then it ended. Confused[/b]

does this mean anything?

Nightmares usually arise from an inner tension. It may take a series of nightmares to show what you are afraid of.

But then you can use the knowledge to become lucid and face your fear.

this can take a while to get to.

The first step for me was just to tell myself this is a dream - then I would wake up.

After you awake you practise visualizing how to face the fear. (e.g. give yourself super powers, call on dream friends to help, decide just to talk to the other)

I think there's a few good discusions on nightmares on this forum if you try searching.
