Do you get nightmares often?

[Takes Two To Tango]

I rarely get them, but I got one last week. I thought I was fighting for my life, ended up waking up punching my bed. It was messed up thought it was real. And it freaked me out to be honest.

Rare 4 me. When it happens and it feels super real I wake up freaking out sometimes. I h8 when that happens but it's very rare 4 me. Usually if I'm under some direct form of stress or anxiety the dreams will be extremely intense

 

[MIKOM]

All the time if I overheat in bed. I need windows open and a cool room with a light duvet covering to avoid nightmares.

"When I wake up the real nightmare begins!"

Last time I tried quitting smoking pot I got some and they were intense one involved fighting but it was just me getting beat up by some dude in his driveway for some reason and I couldn’t fight back or do anything was really lame and also weird but I don’t get many dreams that feel extreme enough to be called a nightmare while I’m smoking weed it keeps my psyche shielded from the horrors of dreamworld

Whoa… Weird this thread was made, as I had my first one in at least 10 years(actually 2 of them) last night. It was not a scary dream, but a horribly sad one. Woke up from it and could not sleep for an hour and a half. It fucking continued when I fell back to sleep! Scumbag brain.

i smoke entirely too much pot, for way too long now, to dream often or remember much of them if any of them if i do dream.

all that aside the crazy part, the little obscure dreams i do remember every now and then always tend to be some sort of deja vu that i forgot i dreamed but it seems to happen later in life and when it happens im just standing there like motherfucker you dreamt this shit a while back. not sure if its my mind playing tricks on me, or i actually did dream these certain scenarios, but there's been quite a few of them in my life. honestly i just hope its my brain playing tricks cuz i feel crazy sometimes.

No nightmares just cracked teeth from clenching my jaw most nights.

 

[Zinger]

To be honest, I rarely get any dreams at all.

 

[Chesten_Hesten]

People dream of their teeth falling out?

Brush more Motherfuckers!

 

[Tone C]

Very rarely have nightmares. Dream a lot though.

 

[Simple Southerner]

Rarely it's been a hot minute

 

[BearGrounds]

Just about every night, and to have them multiple times per night isn't really that uncommon for me. I dream constantly.

The only thing that ever suppressed them was heavy drinking or consistent smoking of teh weeds (which also inhibits my recall of said dreams, otherwise I often remember the content of them upon waking).

The upside to this is that I can also lucid dream, which can be pretty far out and fun sometimes.

couple times a month, always the same one.

I used to battle night terrors quite often. Therapy helped a lot with that, but I have for sure seen some things that will always pop up. It's been some months since I've had them though. I have this one recurring one from my time running the security at a hospital where a 6 year old kid came into the ER after he climbed onto a bureau and one of those old tube TVs fell on top of him crushing his head. Hands down worst thing I've ever dealt with. I literally carried him inside the ER from the parking lot to rush him in as his Mother was beside herself.

 

[Ichibanner]

I used to. Was spirits and demonic shit which was scary. Sleep paralysis also accompanied most of them so it really sucked. I'm a first person dreamer and usually aware that I'm asleep so not being able to wake myself really sucked.

Once I got greater control of my dreams I started getting pissed off and would fight instead of run in my dreams. I rarely ever have nightmares now, my girl usually wakes me up if I do as I'm thrashing around fighting whatever thing I'm dreaming of.

I rarely get them, but I got one last week. I thought I was fighting for my life, ended up waking up punching my bed. It was messed up thought it was real. And it freaked me out to be honest.

I generally have one of three types of nightmares.

1. Combat related. Usually getting stuck outside the wire on patrol and ambushed. Dream goes on until I get killed by the enemy. Generally pretty vivid and upsetting to wake up to.

2. Getting chased or attacked by someone and when I fight back it's like I can do no damage. I'll punch them and it doesn't hurt them at all. I have no strength or I can't get away from them.

3. All of my teeth get loose and fall out. I have great teeth in real life. Never had a cavity. Straight and white. Get plenty of compliments on them. Then I have a dream where they all just get really loose and fall out of my mouth. That's the hardest dream to deal with
