When I was little, I had a dream that
showed me what I think is my subconscious'
interpretation of what was happening to me
while I was sleeping; stuff I didn't know
about at the time. Growing into it and as
young as I was, I never told anyone,
especially because my mom was in on it.
But years later, it all stopped. My
siblings didn't even know until recently.
It's horrid what happened, but I'm over
it. It doesn't effect my life anymore
other than dreams and I'm a happy person
off for college.
The only problem is this: I keep having
that dream. That, and ones of what was
done to me; some that I don't know about
and some that I do. Sometimes I remember
them, and others I don't. I know this
because when I dream I often shake or cry
in my sleep, something my roommates always
point out in the morning. They've learned
already not to wake me up or I'll get
violent on them until I realize who it is.
But after that, I calm down.
Is there any way to stop oneself from
dreaming? Especially reoccurring
nightmares?

Honestly if your having that many issues,
I would see your doc. Or there is always
the "alternative" method....ppl choose
weed,alcohol, sleeping pills, or just get
so sleepy u just pass out and are way to
tired to dream..." happens to me all the
time...come on its 2 am and Im up...lol I
often dream about things I dont care for
so ya know?
Good luck, but if the alternative route
isnt for you go see a doc seriously

Yeah.. I refuse to become someone addicted
to pills or unlawful means.
My roommates suggested I talk about it
with strangers, so I'll go make a post
here somewhere and get it all out to make
them happy.
What could a doctor do though besides
sleeping pills?
I used to have a problem when I was little
where I would stay up until I
hallucinated. For some reason it only
takes me two days without sleep to get
that far. So sleep deprivation isn't a
healthy solution. Especially when you
start acting as 'drunk' as I do.
hello
try writing out the dream in its entireity
with details and bad ending then rewrite
the dream only change the ending to a nice
happyone. Like superman sves the day. Some
to that effect,. It hlped me to get rid of
some very bad nightmares. ven to this day
if I get a nightmare I try to rewrite it
down or remember it when I am awake and
then I change then ending and it helps me
also I pray and God takes my bad dreams
away too.
good luck

Theres pills for just about everything
these days.
unknown person just checking in to see how
you are? Have tried writing out your
dreams and changing the endings while you
are wake? Sometimes it can take awhile but
it can work as for the advice someone gave
to to do drugs or alcohol I think that is
changing one problem for a even worse
problem or worse yet an extra problem you
we will have to deal with. Anyways just
checking to see how you are?
taykare
remeber you can contact me when ever you
like.
also I will be away from my computer for
about a week only (i hope) have surgery on
the 11 of sept but leave a message anyway
and will get back to asap
lots of love and prayers

Taking sleeping pills will only delay the
problem, not solve it entirely. I think
the only way to stop these dreams is to
see a counsellor. Like your friend said,
it might do you some good to talk about it
with someone you dont know. Because
although you feel like it's in the past
and you're over it, its still bothering
you inside otherwise you would not be
having these dreams.
