Thread: Recurring dream - meaning?

I've had this dream or nightmare recurring a couple of times for the last year. But I haven't gott a clue why I keep having this dream. It's been quite a rough year I must say, and I've been under a lot of stress.

In the dream I sort of know that I'm a sleep, lying in my rom but at the same time this dream seems so real. In the dream I'm lying wide awake in my bed with my eyes open, I'm lying on the side with my face towards the wall, then suddenly something or someone starts pulling me backwards and out of my bed. I't dosn't feel like someones hands are pulling me, more like some kind of energy. I try to hold back but I'm to weak so I fall on to my bedroom floor. Then the energy starts pulling me backwards towards the door. At this moment I try to scream for help but only small whispering sounds comes out.

I've had this dream many times, and it's freaking me out every time. Compared to other dreams this dream seems so real, especially the feeling of the cold floor when I hit the ground, and my awareness of dreaming. It's like I'm trapped in a dream and don't know how wake up.
