Thread: Unexplainable nightmares, help...

I'm always full of fear of my losing my life.

But I love my life, I enjoy every second of it. I'm well on my way to achieve many of my goals. So basically I don't know why I'm even having nightmares to begin with. I have a rather far-fetched theory: could it be that I have so little negativity and fear in my life, that my mind finds need to compensate and does so in my dreams? Sounds quite cynical, and if it's true I hope it's just for a period, until my mind has adapted to the awesomeness that is my life.

If i have a nightmare i shall become lucid. If I have a nightmare I shall become lucid. But I'd rather not have any nightmares at all. No nightmares. No nightmares. Good dreams. Kind dreams. Flower dreams.

Mantra successfully completed. Now I give you the word of insight.

Who lived in your place before you? When I was about seven years old, I used to have nightmares and night terrors when my family moved into a very old two story house. I remembered the dream, which when I awoke from it I would always be sweating, have a headache, be emotionally confused, and feel like something was ripping my body apart. Come to find out the place was haunted, which it was pretty fucked up on some of the stuff that happened there. The dreams would always be the same and happen almost ever night. After we moved out of the house, they immediately stopped.

Might be a stretch, but it may be alternative idea as to whats causing your nightmares. Speaking of which, I would love to re-visit that old two story house, if it is still standing. Wouldn't mind sleeping in there to see if the nightmares and night terrors happen again.

I have no idea how to use forums but I just thought I would get my question out there. I have nightmares at least I think they are, I wake up while still dreaming I can understand what is happening in the dream and what is happening in reality but in the end, when I wake up, I can't explain what the dream is about but the pain was real. With the exception of last night I said something that stuck out from the previous times I said "too much" or "too many" multiple times. I have these nightmares where I am awake and dreaming at the same time and the pain is real during the dream I understand but when I actually wake I can just remember the pain.
