Thread: Why is there so many dream negativity posts?

I'm starting to wonder if we need a new topic about sharing your scariest moments in a dream? That said, One of the worst is the fever induce dreams for me.

Wow lucidbunnie,

I guess it's true then. How strange. Hopefully you are safe from now on.

You are welcome to share your own positive dream experiences. If you give positive experiences then people will be more inclined to share their positive experiences.

Just discomfort, not that much pain.

Well, it was still worse than the pain from getting my fingernails been ripped off without anesthesic (This was in reality) or some other bad shit that has happened before (including getting high degree burns) to me, so while I can't compare it to the real one at least can say it is very real like.

I have a hard time understanding why people would choose to 'incubate unpleasant dream experiences' i guess there's the curiosity factor, ive dealt with exploding head syndrome for years (It sounds ridiculous but its similar to sleep paralysis) as I'm trying to slip into unconsciousness, hearing loud bangs or crashes before sleep ,sometimes the sensation of a electrical jolt passing through head or body..it is 100% not cool nor do I believe it's something you can manipulate (there's some research it could be linked to 'mini seizures' or strokes but dont think anything is set in stone in medical community) ..anyway I definitely think physical pain contributes or shapes nightmares (for me it's ongoing back pain) I try to keep a positive outlook about dreams (before sleep) unfortunately most of my experiences aren't good
