My Nightmares Are Like Watching Horror Movies!!!
Posted: 07-22-05 16:35pm

It's not that big a deal..But sometimes, I wonder what it means. My dreams are sometimes so crazy, I wake up in a sweat..It's like watching a really scary horror movie. I have dreams where people's heads are cut off, there is someone chasing me, i'm crawling in the dirt..There are crazy crazy people all the time in my dreams. I have dreams about axes and murderers, absolutely gory sometimes. Sometimes I think I should be a writing this stuff down and sending it to a producer..If they could produce onto film what I am seeing in my dreams, I guarantee you would be shaking in your boots!!! Anyone else experience this?

Well I have deffinitely had nightmares where I have thought they were real. It scares the crap out of you when ya wake up lol. My friend shared a similar experience as yours back when he was on prednison (*sp*) anyway what that is.... Is its a steroid and it helps all different things. He took it because he was on accutane to help with the breakout and prednisone gives you really bad night terrors and all that bad stuff. So he was on it for a month and he said all his nightmares were like watching a really scarry movie but it felt so real. However once you wake up and tell your body that its just a dream you can ususally fall back asleep and go into a deep sleep without having another nightmare.

woh, nelly, you betcha! I actually do turn most of my night terrors into books, but i'm a geek and I write all the time anyhow. I have found, though, that writing them down helps my mind work through the fact that it was not reality. It helps me relax enough to go back to sleep.

For example, last night, apparently, I woke up half the house with my scream. I didn't know if I had actually screamed aloud or not until the kids told me that I scared the crap out of them. I dreamt of this really large, really ugly spider that had gotten into my hair and was preparing to attack me. That was somewhere aroung 4am. I barely slept the rest of the night. The part that stinks the most there is that I already only get 4-6 hours sleep nightly because of inability to turn off my brain from all the daily stressors of life.

The worst night terrors for me, though, involve sexual assault. I usually end up sitting up nearly all night long when those start just because I fear that falling asleep again will bring it right back. It usually does. At least my husband isn't waking up seriously bruised anymore. Lol.

So, yeah, there are others with the same issues.

I've had horrible nightmares before...
zombies take over the world and i'm on the run.
There's a serial killer stalking me.
Demons trying to possess me.
In the middle of nowhere,Leather face is chasing me with his chainsaw (The Texas chainsaw massacre).
I'm drowning.
I'm witnessing homicide and torture.
I'm being hunted down in the woods by a family of cannibals (wrong turn).

The worst one...
My parents ended up part of a cult and we lived in the squalid house shared by the other members and they all used to get drunk and wear masks and it was really really noisy and i was trying to escape from the house,as i was imprisoned and i kept trying to escape,but when i got outside,i kept being chased and caught before i got onto the street.One night,i sneaked out at night time and managed to find my way to get help,though i was frantic like the survivors in movies.
When i woke up i was gasping and it took a few minutes for me to remember where i really was.I looked around and thought "Phewww".

I'm gonna sound weird now,but when i wake up,i replay all the stuff i remember and think "Cool..." Shocked I find a lot of my nightmares horrible at the time,but i enjoy looking back on them ages later. Mr.
