Adult nightmares anyone?

**pepolshet** · 03-16-2013 03:08 AM

Basically I am lying in my bed in my room, suddenly my phone rings and wakes me up, I can see the screen light up through the thin sheet, a melody begins to play, I remember that in real life my ringtone is different (didn't change it for a couple of years), I realize I am in a dream, I realize it's going to happen again, I begin to shake my own body and pinching myself with hopes of waking up, I can't move, I see a little girls face down a little further from my feet, white as a wall, black hair, just with a terrifying terrifying feeling to her, as if she's the representation of death and everything wrong in this world.

She begins to slowly crawl upwards, I try to scream only to have my mouth stuck just like in the interrogation of Neo, I think I am probably making crazy sounds in real life, I have already accepted my fate at this point, the best analogy I can think of is giving blood, you know it's going to be unpleasant but you accept it, even though it's the most unpleasant feeling I can experience in the dream, I show her my middle finger, even though I can't raise my hand (pretty funny in retrospect) and just smile while and have her crawl over me and leave me in utter darkness. It's somewhat funny looking back but at the moment and even now I am still fucking terrified of that dream.

It has been reoccuring lately, I always get the same subconcious feeling as if I am not the stimuli but it is external, as if somewhere somehow, in a military base people put me into a provoking situation from a distance, using an electric device perhaps, so during the whole thing I am accompanied by a strong "get out of my mind" feeling.

it is called "sleep paralysis" and you are just seeing hypochondria hallucinations.

So you are basically aware that it's a dream? You are lucid? Just can't move.

She (or anything scary) could be fueled by your fear. Have you tried to think in her direction "you are a good person and I love you no matter what"? I did this in one of my lucids, when guy I was with started to morph into something scary (but only after I had a micro idea that he might). He stopped morphing and mood returned from possibly nightmarish to pleasant.

Robert Waggoner in his Lucid dreaming - Gateway to the inner self- suggests that we can do in case we encounter something scary.

I do get some faces, sometimes scary faces in last stages of hypnagogia, just as I'm entering LD. But for some strange reason I'm not scared.

It could be SP, but it sounds more like a dream sincen you didn't mention that you didn't wake up afterwards. Sleep paralysis is when you wake up and your body is still in the paralyzed state it is in to keep you from acting out your dreams. This is just a hallucination. No need to be worried. You are just in a "half asleep half awake" state.

But. If this is just a dream, then you have a real chance to help your LDing (if you are into that type of thing

). You can say "the next time I am in a nightmare I will wake myself up." It seems to work well in nightmares. Or you can confront the nightmare. Or beat the crap out of it with awesome dream powers. It is awesome.

I already know what sleep paralysis is as I have experienced it already sadly, I wasn't in the real world when it happened with my eyes opened tripping on that brain DMT

Sounds about right, you always have a micro idea before something like that happens, I was kinda caught off guard I guess, it is hard enough to analyze the situation while awake and here you have to analyze it within a dream where the logical part of your brain is shut down.

Since you realized that it's dream, why not to try to fight her off? Or talk to her, ask her who she is and why she's doing that?

This part, it only induces it further and strengthens it, next time when you get there try to think about something good instead.

Yes I have already realized that but thanks for pointing it out, the psyche is truly amazing.

While I am not actually an adult, I am not five so I think I'm applicable. I have nightmares nearly every night. I don't have a problem with them. They're therapeutic and thrilling. It's like a high. Anyway, I never experienced a decrease of nightmares as my age got higher.
