Extremely bad nightmare, need opinions

**Realitybend** · 08-18-2011 07:36 PM

Hello, i am new to dream views, and i could use some opinions on why this happens to me in every single one of my nightmares.
To start off, im 16, i rarely have nightmares ( once every couple of months rarely), and when i do have nightmares they are the soooo scary i stay up for hours until im comfortable to fall back asleep.
So in the dream i 'awake' from a good night of sleep, but it is still dark outside. The room is similar to my real room except for the fine details, and in the dream i am 100% sure im awake (it was very vivid and realistic compared to my normal dreams). I go to my stairs and stop with fear at the sight of a shadow figure. I run back to my bed only to see a dog, a very creepy black dog that is tore up, staring at me with vicious eyes. This did not scare me, and i used my dream 'magic' to make it dissapear. I then return to my stairs after dealing with the dog to see that a completely detailed and vivid demon had formed from the shadow figure. It screamed a terrible blood curdling scream that terrifyed me more than anything before. It just starts getting closer and closer to me, but i stand still. Finally i make a break for my bed, only to see a man in a black suit and hat staring at me. He didnt do anything, but i could tell he was an evil man (i see and/or hear this man in all my nightmares). I hopped back in bed and shut my eyes and tried my very hardest to wake up. I then felt it, i was awake, but when i got up the demon and man were still there. I repeated the process of rushing back to my bed and 'waking up' about 7 or 8 times. The demon was very scary, but i was more scared of the man. For some reason that man NEVER does anything at ALL but in all my dreams he send terror into me when i see him. Sometimes i dont see him but i hear him and i just know that its him, and he just whispers uncomprehendable nonsense into my ear.

The demon is not my concern, what i want opinions on is why this man is always involved in my nightmares and even though he never does anything why he scares me so bad, and also why in all my nightmares i go through soooooo many false awakenings and then feeling safe but having the nightmare repeat again and again.

any interpretations, opionions, or explanations will be appreciated.

Do you have any suppressed memories of something? Possibly something that the man could represent?

Sounds to me like a typical episode of SP..well not so much typical..I get this also,and was only few months back i found out it was all to do with SP, you say you try to wake yourself up so therefore you know you are dreaming, also your room is like it is in rl..typical Faulse awakening with SP, you also have repeated faulse awakenings before you actually wake..this is exactly what happens with me also..you need to learn to use this to your advantage..PM me and ill go through it all with you

For some reason I have heard of this shadow man with a hat. If I am correct he will have a trench coat on and he has a hat on and you cant see his face but it forms out and he is a total shadow figure. He doesn't do anything but stare at you as if he was going to do something but he never does. Thinking about it some what scares me but I've never seen this man. In a video game, called LSD

ream Emulator, the game is based of a dream journal, some times you see the man but he doesn't do anything and he just watches you quietly but very very scary way.
