Deathly afraid of dreaming!

[xXxArtistxXx]

Here's how the dream went: I was laying in bed early in the morning, then all of a sudden I raise my body up a bit to get out of bed.. Now, unspeakable terror, all of a sudden, I hear a high frequency noise (the one that occurs when you yawn) I STARTED SEEING VERY SCARY THIGS, PEOPLE, DEMONS, and other terrifying stuff, in the dream, I thought it was SP but it wasn't, I was able to move, so then I tried to scream "MOM!!!" but nothing came out of my mouth, I tried to run into my mom's room, it turned out to be another hallucination, basically, everytime I ran I teleported back to my room, I stood there frozen in fear waiting for the high frequency noise to end (that was creating the hallucinations) so then it stopped, so I literally booked it to my mom's room, I heard the noise again, and I saw a shadow figure with a black robe with hands in a praying position, it just zipped across the door and vanished, I ignored it and went in my mom's room to feel safer, then I heard the noise again and saw a man with his face covered in concrete, then I had a false awakening of me telling my sister this story.. Then with all my hapiness, I finaly woke up, I woke up trembling in fear, I went downstairs to tell my dad this, he said "why are you shaking so much" everything I do, I shake, I'm so paranoid, I put on the TV covering my ears!! Please help me guys, I now rather die then have that dream again.

Remember that nothing in dream can hurt your waking body, there's nothing to be afraid of, calm down. I'd suggest doing reality check when waking up/getting up from bed, so you will know that you are dreaming and will take situation under control. *Moved to Nightmares and Recurring Dreams*

I'd suggest a mantra or chant before you go to bed. That's how I beat my fear of nightmares. Say out loud "I will have control in my dreams." "I will be aware in my dreams." repeat these two phrases over and over out loud while you go to sleep. The repetition should keep the words in your subconscious, and the phrase "I can control my dreams." will echo in your subconscious, therefor, bringing dream control to you, even if you're not aware you're dreaming. Hope this help!

I think there is something wrong with the statement, "it's nothing to be afraid of: it was just a dream." And yet we say it all the time. Is it reassuring? The problem with it is, while the dream is not real, the fear is. And clearly there is something to be afraid of, or else the dreamer would not be afraid. Just because the dream and the fear are all in the dreamer's mind does not make it less scary, in fact it actually makes it more scary because if it were not in your mind, you could escape it and close a door to your mom's room and be safe. But you cannot escape your own mind. If you cannot escape it, what options do you have? One option is examining waking life and reducing anything that could cause scary dreams. Another option is meditating and calming thoughts practice before bed. Another option is lucid dreaming, realizing it is a dream in the dream and then confronting one's fears knowing in the dream that they cannot harm you. Also you can use dream incubation to practice more benevolent outcomes in case you had a similar dream, how it could end better. For another option, there is dream interpretation, figure out what caused this dream what its meaning is, what are you really afraid of, and tackle the problem cause to reduce chance of such a dream. So you see, you have options. Good luck!
