New member : Wants to finally understand her unexplainable dreams that make sleep a burden DX

Hello everyone. For starts I am 25 years old, married mother of one daugthter, I stay at home and lead a basic conventinal all be it boring but pretty satisfied life. That said no matter how I have led my unusual life these 25 years I have suffered from beyond realistic dreams since as long as I can remember.

I'll admit that my dreams even though they are realistic, they are not all neccessarily bad, but, i never get rest from sleep, I just end up waking up exsausted and feeling like i got no sleep at all. I remember all dreams VIVIDLY, I envy my husband who remembers nothing or very little. Even though I dont commonly dream of monsters or mahaem, I still have deeply confusing and disturbing dreams that make sleep something i would rather avoid, i tend to stay awake for 36 hours and then I finally crash out for about 6 hours of annoying dreams , i have tried usual sleep schdedules and it does nothing to prevent the amount I dream, I function rather well on 5-6 hours of sleep i have done that for at least..well since i had my daughter so roughly 8 years.

Most of the times I don't know im dreaming, but i am intensly aware of everything around me, in short I feel alive and well and normal, so when bad things happen in my dreams, I in short feel everything is absolute and there is no way out of it and the panic or emotions I feel is intense and overwhelming, in other cases If even for a moment I notice i am dreaming i tend to wake up right after that which is ANNOYING cause its the only moment i feel maybe sleeping can be a fun adventure

Any way, the main reason I am here Is to discover the meaning of this particular dream , a reaccuring one I have been having, it has caused me to fear sleep even more and its becoming a real problem, I have included details to that dream in another thread . I hope to get some answers here, so that I may for the first time in my life, not be afraid to sleep :roll:

Welcome Sammoyke!

I will try to keep this short becuase I got to go (sorry :P)

For meanings of dreams you are the only one who can interpret what it really means "only if you name the fear you can banish it" - (Easy version of a Yoda quote ^-^) But other people can still help you interpret it, but you possess all the correct answers.

Since you already seem very aware of your dreams, I mean you describe them as super vivid and real, then I would suggest you read some guides about reality checks because all it takes for you now is one reality check in those dreams and you will become lucid (aware that you are dreaming).

If you wake up from the dream it's far from over, if you just remember to lay still and have closed eyes upon awakening (doesn't have to instantly, but very soon after the awakening) you still have a big chance to return to the dream. It's called the Dream Exit Induced Lucid dream or DEILD. Check it out. ;)

I hope lucid dreaming will help you appreciate your vivid dreams again and your nightly sleep.

Sweet dreams! :)
