Trapped In Your Nightmares?

I’m assuming this has something to do with the paralysis that occurs during REM sleep. As such, I am left struggling to move in order to wake myself up. I’ve made fairly epic efforts for what seems like hours before I finally wake up. I imagine this is what it must feel like to be bound and tortured.

This particular morning I was held down by a rather attractive girl, who then proceeded to attempt removing my soul via my mouth. Bitch didn’t get it.

Am I the only one fighting the good fight?

hmm are you conscious but your body is paralyzed, and an “evil presence” is often in the room with you but you can’t wake up? Thats sleep paralysis, associated mostly with great stress and PTSD.
[/quote]

I definitely feel paralyzed, and there’s always some sort of ‘evil presence’, but I never get the feeling that I’m totally awake. I’m aware of my body and a certain amount of reality, but I still feel like I’m dreaming. Not fully awake and conscious, but not fully asleep and dreaming. Somewhere in between. Maybe it’s just semantics, but I feel just asleep enough that I need to ‘wake up’ to make it stop.

It used to happen to me every day a few years ago, now more rarely. Just two or three weeks ago I had an incident, and it was awful. I was having a dream where I was outside having some kind of an argument with someone, then all of I sudden I realize I am dreaming, but I fall over onto the ground, and start getting slowly sucked down into the sand completely unable to escape, or even move, and I was screaming for help but none came. When I finally woke up, I nearly launched myself out of my bed from trying so hard to get out. I find the old hag and abduction stories to be very interesting, as I’ve never really had that experience, at least not that I can remember. Usually I only get the paralysis, accompanied by a feeling of fear or doom, lost sense of time (though it always seems like forever) and maybe some auditory hallucinations. That might have been the first time I’ve had it combined with anything visual. Later that day I listened to Nine Inch Nails and the song “Downward Spiral” came on. When the screaming kicked in it totally brought back the emotions I felt when I was sinking in the sand, and I was creeped the fuck out. That song sounds like dying, and I only truly realized it after that dream. [/quote]

Yeah, that’s exactly what it’s like. Sometimes I try to scream but I only hear a sort of strangled whisper. I usually wake up with my heart racing, and then it’s kind of funny.

Then I roll over and go back to sleep.

Good luck figuring that out. Whenever I have dreams where I become aware, I shoot raptors in the face with desert eagles and rip through walls. So i don’t know how to help =/. Shall i kick you in the nads?

Shadow entities/Dark energy enteties feeding off you. Your anger won’t go away because you can’t hit them. You just keep trying and getting angrier with every failed attempt. They are good at what they do, next time try giving them a hug, seriously. They will go away and something more pleasant may come and hug you.

lol what the fuck is it with zombie dreams? That’s my most reocurring dream scenario. The most badass one I had was when I basically annihilated an entire army of zombies with my bare hands and a scythe. Not only that but I had complete freedom of movement and super strength/speed. I was jumping on top of buildings, flipping cars over, ripping them apart, and busting through walls like the kool-aid man. Im guessing that dream is as close as I’ll come to knowing what it’s like to be a super hero. [/quote]

I have these all the time as well, fucking zombies. Come around my house when I have super powers? Dumbasses.

Interesting, I would say you either have an eating disorder, or you need to eat more nutritious meals. Do you eat high quality meats and veggies? If your diet is really good then I’m not sure, it may be something else. It’s the first thing that comes to mind though. Eating the top of the food chain to me either means you are the alpha of alpha males, being a 300lb black vampire would certainly qualify as that. Or you might need to concentrate on your diet. Both work, and without more details about the dreams I am just guessing.

Give me more info if you can, do you hunt them down? Do they put up a fight? Are they just submissive? Are you at a zoo?

Then I land and jump again, this time going higher and farther, gliding more too, the descent isn’t like a fall, more like in mario where you glide down to the earth when you have the tinooki tail or whatever that think is. Anyways, Eventually I could re-jump without hitting the ground and the feeling was amazing. I was just jumping in the air and floating around, I could also get going pretty fast and slow down if I wanted to.

Anyone else have some flying dreams?

V[/quote]

Yes! I have totally had flying dreams which are incredible. I have also ridden giant tidal waves, which is also quite cool but very unnerving. And as someone else had stated, I dream a lot with ghosts or dead people - one of which basically tormented me for weeks and lived in the attic of my childhood house. This latter character I just chalked up to general family dysfunction and anxiety.

I won’t lie though, I totally believe in ghosts and astral travel.

Vegita, perhaps we’ve met before…(duh duh duhhhhh)
[/quote]

Well according to my beliefs, we actually are the same entity if we go up the chain high enough. So yea, in some sense we have definately met before.

I’ve never had a flying dream that I can remember and I’m kinda jealous of those who have. The most I get is a crouching tiger, hidden dragon type movement where I can run on walls and leap onto rooftops, glide up and down stairs, and move extraordinarily fast. I actually have been trying to induce lucid dreams so I can try flying, but no success yet. Any tips? [/quote]

Absolutely. Sleep journal is #1 because what good is having lucid dreams is your brain doesn’t record the experiences right? I mean you all realize we really experience our dreams right? Just because they don’t get recorded as hard and fast as our 3d experiences does not make them not real. For example. How tangible is the 33rd time you drove your car? Do you even remember that particular drive? How about the 52nd? Remember that one? Do you doubt that existed? of course not, but you have no reccolection of it at all, the experience might as well have not existed. Now if on your 58th time driving your car you hit a deer, well you will always remember that one because it is a special occurance.

Anyways, once you get a good dream journal going, you can get it down pretty good in a couple weeks, your brain really learns what you want it to do fast. Then all you need to do is have an awake trigger. Something you routinely will look at so that when you look at it in your dream, you “gain consiousness”. The easiest is for people who wear watches. People who wear a watch may look at it to see the time 10-15 times a day or more. So for a watch wearer, every time they look at thier watch, instead of just seeing the time, proclaim something to yourself at the same time. Such as “I am aware and awake, is this a dream or is it real? I am aware and awake”. So just say that in your own head every time you look at your watch and when your dream body looks at it’s watch, your brain is going to repeat the phrase to itself out of habit and you will MOST of the time gain lucidity in your dream state. If you don’t have a watch, you need to create a habit. Have a wedding ring that you play with (I do) every time you start adjusting it or playing with it, do the same proclimation to yourself.

So thats pretty much it. Once you are in the dream state and you are concious, remember the rules are slightly different. Negative energy given off by you is going to attract negative entities. So if you see something which would normally scare you or make you mad, you have to try to realize that this is a dream and this is just an entity who is trying to get a reaction out of you. Weather to feed off you or just for thier own amusement. They can’t kill you and have no real power over you unless you allow them to. Just acknowledge that you know it’s an entity trying to bait you, thank them and move on. The negative scenario will literally just dissapear or melt away or you will speed away from it.

Do you play a lot of video games? I used to play WoW from time to time and would dream I was in the game. Your dream sounds like it could be any video game out there today.

It has been years since I dreamed but the best I ever had (those happen 1 time on a billion) is when you are conscious that you are dreaming but you are in your dream. Suddently everyone is apathetic and you are like:‘’ yeah you are not REAL,fuck you this is MY dream’’ And you do whatever you want. It happened one time and I dont think it will ever happen again

well, my diet has been good, to the point of not attending Thanksgiving and making avoidant plans for Christmas.

The scenario usually involves a predatory animal attacking me. It hurts me pretty bad, but I get the upper hand and rip through its neck/chest/face. It goes psych, then I tackle it at start shredding it.

in these general settings

forest/jungle/Tundra…wherever the animal is a native surrounded by secksy ladies
Heaven/Hell…usually with the Heaven side cheering me on…when I’m fighting on the Hell side I’m alone protecting a child.

Are you in your humnan form when this all goes down or do you take a different form, another beast or perhaps something mythical like a dragon or anything? I’m actually going to have to meditate on this because nothing is coming to mind. If it really is recurring it might be as simple as an entity in the astral which is fond of your energy visits you often and entices you into this scenario. Or there could be other things like a combination of other you’s getting combined in some way and presenting to you in your dreams.

It’s entirely possible, I can only go with what my experiences have led me to believe though. So I gotta roll with it ya know. I mean it may all be bullshit, but I really believe it so I hope nobody thinks I’m actually just bullshitting you guys to mess with you or something.
Of course it could all really be spot on, we may never know or it may take some extra special events for us to know.

Thanks, that’s some good information. I read up a little on the dream journals, and I was wondering if you try to wake up after every dream and write it down, or if you just try to program your brain to remember everything and write it down in the morning?

I have another reocurring theme, in which I’m a bigass tiger shredding my enemies. Sometimes I just “am” the tiger, and sometimes I transform into it, or I’m something in between, like a feral human with fangs and claws and moves like one, but the feeling/instinct i get is that I am a tiger.

We should face off in the dream world. How about it?

IMMORTAAAAAAAAAAL KOMBAAAAAAAAT!

Some awesome lyrics about waking dreams and sleep paralysis:

I feel it washing over me,
the slow poisonous tide.
pins and needles dance on me.
sickness undefined.

Now I’m afraid to face the sky.
Please someone hear my haunted cries.
Please let them waken me.
Please let them waken me.
Please let them waken me.
Please let them waken me.
Go!
With eyes sewn shut I still can see (I end up somewhere)
all that is surrounding me (somewhere between)…
between a dream (I end up somewhere) and motionless reality,
will I forever lie?

I feel it binding so smoothly.
I see myself below.
I feel it gnawing, eating me.
Poisonous and slow.

My mind it speeds.
My voice has died.
God let me make the faintest cry.
Please let them waken me.
Please let them waken me.
Please let them waken me.
Please let them waken me.
Go!
With eyes sewn shut I still can see (I end up somewhere)
all that is surrounding me (somewhere between)…
between a dream (I end up somewhere) and motionless reality,
will I forever lie?

Binded by my hands, by my legs, by my eyes, by my mouth, bind everything.

Opened up and for the taking,
just one touch and I’ll be yours.
Opened up wide for the breaking,
just one touch and I’ll be yours.

What’s on the other side behind the mirror?
To try, I cry, to break the static keeping me here in between.
What’s on the other side of the mirror?
To try, I cry, to break the static keeping me here,
and the static keeping me here in between.

I have dreams a lot where I’m trying to fight/kill someone, but none of my punches/stabs to the face are effective. Anyone else get that?[/quote]

I’ve gotten these dreams from time to time … they’re frustrating to me, I always feel like in tense anger towards what/whoever I’m attempting to punch and it’s just ineffective which makes me angrier and embarrassed that I can’t do anything to this schmuck[/quote]

Shadow entities/Dark energy enteties feeding off you. Your anger won’t go away because you can’t hit them. You just keep trying and getting angrier with every failed attempt. They are good at what they do, next time try giving them a hug, seriously. They will go away and something more pleasant may come and hug you.

Makes sense … these dreams are infrequent … the most frequent dream theme I have is zombie outbreaks where I’m always saving someone and fending off the hordes and leading the rag tag army of survivors[/quote]

lol what the fuck is it with zombie dreams? That’s my most reocurring dream scenario. The most badass one I had was when I basically annihilated an entire army of zombies with my bare hands and a scythe. Not only that but I had complete freedom of movement and super strength/speed. I was jumping on top of buildings, flipping cars over, ripping them apart, and busting through walls like the kool-aid man. Im guessing that dream is as close as I’ll come to knowing what it’s like to be a super hero. [/quote]
Do you play a lot of video games? I used to play WoW from time to time and would dream I was in the game. Your dream sounds like it could be any video game out there today.[/quote]

Not really actually, though I have played the fuck out of just about every resident evil game, and i like zombie movies, so maybe that has something to do with it. But over the past few years I have only played a handful of games. I’ll play one straight through, then won’t touch games for like a few months.
