Any of you ever have them? I used to have a one at least twice a week where I was in a prison cell awaiting trial for murder. Never found out who I'd killed or how I'd done it but I knew I was guilty & going down for life. Never get it now but I've woke up in some sweats over it.
I often dream that I have somehow found myself having time travelled and living locally during WW2 and confidently telling the frightened locals that everything will be fine and that we are gonna win! I also dream that I am late and rushing to get to my college exams. Doesnt matter how hard I try to get there, jumping onto buses etc, I end up getting further away. Then just before I wake up I realise that I dont actually go to college anymore, that I in fact work for a living, its then I realise that I'm gonna get bollocked for being late for work. I also dream about zombies a lot, proper gory.
Lots when I was a kid. Suffered night Terrors to go with it. As I grew up and mania developed now I struggle to remember any dreams let alone recurring ones. I bet that new MRI will help explain dreams.
Not recurring dreams but I suffer with sleep paralysis. It's horrendous, one of the most frightening things I've experienced.
Mate of mine has had 4 or 5 incidents of that. Can't explain it but won't go to the doctors after it happened. Won't help himself that lad. Scares the **** out of him and won't stop mentioning it for months after it's happened, but won't get help He teeth grinds too, when he falls asleep on the sofa after a piss up he shakes the foundations with it. His sleep ain't right, needs help the useless ****.
When I was a teenager I used to work in Newcastle and travelled in by bus, for years after I moved away from Tyneside I used to dream that the road over the Tyne bridge was blocked and the only way to get to work was by walking over the steel arches with no safety rail which was terrifying, I dreamed that regularly for years but not for a long time now I'm pleased to say.
I feel your pain brother. I grew up with night terrors and they were horrendous. I relapsed into an old one in my mid 20's when I was coming down after a night in Manchester on M-Cat. Almost **** myself.
It's the sweating that's sticks in my mind most, I was very young so the dream content is vague to say the least. But I remember the panic one night when I'd became dangerously dehydrated and ended up in hospital, Went through so many mattresses from sweating. I'd just scream and flail about was terrified of anybody who tried to comfort me. I take it it's a given you would sleep walk a lot too? I pissed on my Aunty and Uncle's staircase Never had it as an adult(bet that was some scary ****) but I've suffered psychosis at the hands of M-Cat which I don't really want to go in to it. I'll just say it's evil and nobody should ever touch the stuff. Can still taste it's sugary soapy taste in the back of my throat, it's never left me.
I sometimes get it when I have an afternoon nap rather than my big daily sleep. They're not dangerous at all, just fairly disturbing at the time. I tend to have it when waking up, but others get it as they're falling into a sleep. It feels a bit like your body has just stopped working and your mind is trapped inside it.
I get it waking up. I know what's going on, I'm alert but my body won't and can't move. It's like it's frozen and my heart races. All I want to do is start moving my arms but I just can't. It lasts for about 10-15 seconds, I reckon. Every one of those seconds feels like a minute, though. Awful.
I'd imagine there's some similarities mate yeah. The first few times I had it, it felt like being buried alive. The more you have, the less scary they are on reflection.
I used to dream that by staring at the ceiling and holding my breath I could fly out of the house and along the coast line in both directions before gliding around and back again, at one time I truly believed that I could fly, fortunately I kept this fact to myself at the time. I have had numerous recurring dreams but this is the only one that I actually believed was real and that it was not a dream. Is anybody else as deluded as this, apart from me and batman. ,
i have a bullet scar on my left cheek , often have dreams about the incident, I was lucky the bullet only had my initials not my name on it
All of my night terrors were delusions that I'd lost a ridiculous amount of money through trading irresponsibly/illegally and that "They" were coming after me to kill me or lock me up. Weird thing was I was having that night terror when I was about 5, when I shouldn't have ****ing known anything about the stock market. I just remember being 100% awake and being 100% sure that "they" were coming after me. I'd be speaking to my mum and dad like I was a forty year old stockbroker who'd had a mental breakdown apparently. Never sleep walked to my knowledge. Yeah M-Cat felt horrible going down and the high was grimy. I got kicked out of the Factory Club in Manchester, a different night I believe, because I'd chewed a chunk of my own tongue/inside of my cheek off and had blood all over. They thought that I'd got into a fight and bitten someone.
Used to have this continuous dream every night that we would struggle to stay in the Premier League, then Moyes became manager and I never had it after that lol
Some interesting stories there. I used to get a lot of nightmares over my past, hardly ever these days. I still have some totally obscure, bizarre ones like.
