Nightmares...

I've been plagued with nightmares for the past few years, with no recallable happy dreams!! and they affect me very strongly...i wake up in a cold sweat, shaking, rapid heartbeat, rabid breathing, fear, chills, etc. and before you suggest counciling, already take it. Seriously, i'm mentally and physically ok, but these dreams are so realistic and they seriously effect me. Anybody got anything to say?

help? advice? anything???

they could be normal nightmares

sry im not much help...good luck

that's true...and i did have a dream about my book last night that i'm actually going to use in it! that was the best dream i'v ever had(and the first somewhat not nightmare dream iv had in a long time!) it was scary though!!!

like are they real is it something that could have happend to you? because i know when somthing happend to be i would have nightmares a lot and sometimes still do. well hope i helped if this is not the case then i have no clue how to help you

I would have to say that the answer in your dreams lies in you. Whatever it is that your scared of is calling your name and either you answer or keep runnin. Dreams are subconscience so either you've got somethin on your mind. or atleast that's been my experience if you can see if you can finish your dream maybe the answer to the problem is at the end after you wake up there's my 2 cents..peace

thing of it is, a lot of them are twisted and random at best. I will never forget some of the things i hear in my sleep...

i know how you feel, would any of this be an effect of your past? mine are, and i wake up at least 3-4 times a night

turned out I was bipolar and suffering from PTSD so that's why I had nightmares. They put me on some meds and I went through a lot of therapy. Now I just don't dream... a very nice feeling consitering what I had gone through before.

answer
most good writers live in nightmares, so consider your life a compliment....Poe was consumed by his, you gotta love the Raven

Indeed...my poems r as well as consumed of my nightmares....evry nite! I think its a curse and a blessing. Even though mine r twisted and scary and I somehow suffer or die in the end...I use them as story/poems or starters to another poem or story...There there...Im going through as much as u...(pets and feeds Meow Mix)

"Poe was consumed by his, you gotta love the Raven"

Edgar Allen Poe was high on shrooms when he wrote most of his stuff. But it's genius.

I have to admit, some of the poems that I'm most proud of were written when I wasn't in my right mind.
