I am now 18 years old but I have a lot to say about my nightmares. I see many people are having trouble with their nightmares but to me its something I don't freak out about anymore. There was a time where I would not want to go to sleep, I would wake up crying, I had to go to counseling because of my nightmares and I went through depression because of my nightmares. I still remember one clearly.

When I was in the third grade I remember having this nightmare. My family which was only my dad mom older brother younger brother and I were going to this house. Looking from the outside it looked like an old abandoned church. It looked haunted and there were skulls on the door. IIn the dream I was afraid, but my family seemed super normal about it as if nothing was wrong. It was freaky, I knocked on the door at the doorknob which was black just like the rest of the house there popped out an eye. And the doors opened by themselves. I can continue with all the exploring around and stuff but I'll skip that. There was a point where my family members began to die. I found my little brother hanging on the ceiling along with many other skeletons. I couldn't find my mom and dad, my older brother disappeared in the dream i I only saw him in the beginning of it. I had a feeling in the dream that my dad was dead. I finally find my mother, she was sitting on the toilet. But when I saw her she was happy and she gave that beautiful smile she always gives me she said hi, she wasn't worried of what was going on and I wasn't either anymore. Then at an instance a hand came out of my moms mouth tearing her down and then a hand came from under the toilet and pulled her into it and all I remember is there was blood everywhere.

I was never the same kid again after that. I remember sitting in the Car crying my eyes out not wanting to go to summer school and I told my mom what I dreamed , after that I couldn't sleep. I kept having nightmares every single night. And from that point until Noe I have nightmares just like that. Now that I am older they are different. I dream about killing, sometimes people who threaten me sometimes people who don't do anything at all. The past few times it was people I know, and I actually like these people and these were very vivid dreams.

I don't use weapons I use my first in the dreams and I am always the one dominating. I have been in a few fights and yes I am a very violent person. And through tout the day I stay mentally ready to defend myself in case of anything. I have a job, I work well with people I am very professional, but I also have my own state of mind. And I learned to accept these nightmares that I don't even consider nightmares anymore. And I can sleep through them without even waking up breathless. I just go on with my day as normal.

But one thing that's bothering me,I had a dream that I killed one of my coworkers which I really like he's a good guy, but ever since that dream I have come to realize that he's really annoying, and I have been thinking about confronting him lately about it but I decide not to. He jokes around sometimes and can be disrespectful but never have I realized how much it bothers me and I am now taking it personally. I am very good in controlling my emotions though and if I did deal with it it would be in a professional manner. Give me your opinions, and if you know about dreams if you think I should be concerned leg me know too. I know there are mental illnesses out there that mess with your dreams
