Thread: Frightening Series of Dreams

Those are some interesting but creepy dreams right there. If ending these dreams is your goal, I would reccomend trying to become lucid (know that you are dreaming) the next time something similar happens. Say something to yourself before sleeping and think about it throughout the day, say something that will remind you to realize you are dreaming the next time you witness something like what you are describing in the dreams. I think there is some subconscious issue going on in your real waking life, although it may be nothing like the one you are facing in the dream. You need to come to terms with it so to speak, if you become lucid in a dream, instead of fighting and killling the witch like your first instinct will tell you, instead ask the witch/scary person what it represents. This may sound hard, but many experienced dreamers have recommended showing love to dream characters t..hat show hostility towards you, which may change them. This worked for me once, I had a lucid dream and i went outside and decided to explore around, but some small creature with sharp teeth was chasing me around and bit into my hand and wouldn't let go. I tried shaking it off but it wouldn't work. Since I was lucid in the dream, I decided to try showing the creature love by petting it and calling it sweet names and instantly, the creature stopped biting, started purring like a cat and finally let go of me.

Also, one thing i need to tell you, if you ever find yourself paralyzed in your bed and experience scary hallucinations or a heaviness on your chest, you are experiencing something normal called sleep paralysis which happens to our bodies so that we don't move them when we move in the dream. I think this is what your undergrad friend was talking about, and if you experience something similar, you can do two things, one is try to break out of it. This can be done by focusing on one body part like the toes or fingers and wiggling them until you can move more and more, and another method is to change your pattern of breathing. If you decide to take the harder yet more rewarding route, stay in the sleep paralysis but close your eyes, and try to remain calm, and you will very likely enter a lucid dream where you will be comfortable in confronting this scary being that is haunting you in your sleep. Also, look to see if there are any major unsolved issues in your waking life, but in terms of dream interpretation I can't offer any advice, since I don't interpret. DAMN I wrote alot

Hi there, thanks for the advice. I know about this Sleep paralysis phenomena. I have always taken up the hardway many a times. I had many such dreams since childhood. I used to shake my self out of that paralysis phase. Once I decided to get into it, stay in it, then I felt as if god had his hand on my head and telling me a friend of mine is leaving me look at the window, strangely I cudnt see God's face. but the voice wa smy Dad's I know that for sure.

As I looked back at the window, it was me myself dressed in a black attire like the greek gods and black wings. My skin tone jet black. Flew away from the window. And the god says everything will be fine now. wake back to real world.
Since then I realized that its better to go into the paralysis state, no point in restraining it.
