I have serial nightmares. I ain't joking. I always have a dream about getting lost in a large building, and I can't find my way out. Sometimes the place is kinda different- but it 's always the same. I end up at the door of where the evil emits....and I wake up. I wake up with my heart racing. I been having this dream since I was a kid. :bluesad:
* no offense* that's not serial, ronny, that's repetitive. i have one of those too, but in it , i'm caught in a riptide. it's why i don't swim in anything but a pool anymore.
serial that would be a continuing nightmare, i used to have those during the major migraine years...both suck,alot. my sympathies... :bluesad:

Whatever the f**k it is- it ain't fun.
I'm afraid to sleep. Because I know I will wake up kicking my feet and my f**ked up heart racing.
I'm thinking one day I will have one of these horrible nightmares and I'll have a heart attack and die and be stuck in that dream forever. I know that sounds f**ked up but so does lotsa things.
Like god and the devil and ghosts.
I never have nightmares. The reason for this is because in my dreams, for some reason, I am very rarely the main character. My dreams are like movies.
I don't even feel like I'm watching a movie. I have no sense of self. Like I'm just an unthinking, unfeeling, camera looking at someone else's story unfold.
When scary things happen in my dreams it doesn't affect me whatsoever because I'm just a camera in a horror film at that point.
Very weird and hard to explain.
I bad a serial nightmare once. I was being chased around a wooden sailing ship by cap'n crunch, he had his sword out and he was really pi--ed about something. :wink:

You know, I suffer from sleep paralysis since as long I can remember. I always went for the crazy explanation like ghosts and stuff, because you tend to hallucinate like crazy during those events, but eventually I started to investigate that particular problem and once I understood it better, I felt more calm about it.
I still have them once in a while but at least I don't give them much importance. I actually take them as warnings of stress and try to relax a bit in my everyday life when I have another paralysis. Improving my sleep routine also helped a lot, now I don't go to bed that late and I feel much better overall, less sleepy and with more time in my hands.
Perhaps investigating the source and consequences of that particular dream may help you. You're afraid you may die because of it; have you tried asking a professional if this is actually possible? The repetitive nature of the content of the dream is surely another sign of a different problem.
Good luck!
I usta have sleep paralysis when I was young. Spooky people standing over me and I couldn't move. I couldn't even scream.

Is that a home movie of your first wife? Based on some things you've said it was the only thing I could guess.

Nah- she looked more like the Cryptkeeper from the TALES FROM THE CRYPT show. Not joking. She could make a freight train take a dirt road. She could stop a clock at 40 paces.. When she was born, they didn't slap her ass, they slapped her mama!
Ok, looks like I've cheered you up. Mission accomplished.

I haven't taken a train in 20 years but am constantly racing to get to one in a dream. or doing anything where I have to be on time. moving out of dorm (i'm 44 was in college in the 90's)
I used to work at a cookies by design ( cheesy decorated cookies) so i have dreams where i have to deliver them halfway around the world and they all break and stuff
My recurrent nightmare is being forced into a place I refuse to go to, saying no repeatedly and i'm just forced into it anyway. A very kafkaesque thing.
Speaking of cereal nightmares....

Weird. This came up on my feed just now.

Sometimes coincidences can be creepy.
I have two recurring nightmares. Neither of them happen the same way each time, but they are similar.
The first is nukes. The worst one I had started with me in my room (at that time) playing a computer game, and I gradually became aware of a lot of noise and people shouting outside. I looked out the window and saw a mushroom cloud in the distance. My first thought was that I was dreaming (which I was). Then I realized that I could feel myself breathing and feel the floor under my feet. How I was having those sensations in my dream, I don't know. At that point I remember thinking "Oh my god! This is real! This is actually happening!" That's when I woke up. I don't think I slept again that night.
The second is always about the house my maternal grandparents lived in when they were alive. It was a very spooky place in real life, out in the country, and fairly much everybody who spent any nights there (except my grandparents, who never admitted to anything unusual) thought the place was haunted. A lot of different things happen in the dreams, once I was even running from Jason. The most common one is being there with my grandparents somehow being alive again, although in the dreams I always know they were dead at one point and have somehow returned.
I have recurring dreams, two specifically.
The first one is that I'm back in my old student residence in Pretoria at 125 Madiba Street, Pretoria Central: I'm walking down the stairs to the ground floor and the staircase gets narrower and narrower, I look behind me, realize that I can't go back or further down and I wake screaming.
Oddly enough, I had some nice times and good friends there from 1987 - 1998.
The second is where I'm back in my home town of Gweru, Zimbabwe and almost everything is in ruins, including my schools and houses. The church where I was baptised, confirmed and where I became a Sunday School teacher is also in ruins and there is a space under the pulpit in which I know something evil is waiting.
The most different thing is that my hometown theater is still standing and that it is showing films which I know the titles of - all of us here would - but the posters and pics are horribly violent scenes which don't match the films. :question:
I also have a version of my nightmare where I escape the building, but I miss my ride. So I wander around this place (NYC?) and I just get lost.
Have you ever had a dream with continues on from where it left off the previous night? Get ones like that infrequently.

Next time you have that nightmare, imagine yourself pulling a lair of your old shorts out of you pocket and tossing then I tom he space under the pulpit. Then imagine that the evil thing there should Immediately gasp, choke, scream, vomit and die.
Hopefully that helps with your next nightmare.

yup, those are truly serial dreams. i write songs about them sometimes, it usually makes them stop.
If I ever dream about my Dad - who was and remains a strong positive force in my life, despite having passed away in 2008 - then I know that I've got a challenge coming and I have to face it.
9 times out of ten it's something positive that happens. :smile:
that's very cool, trev! :cheers:

The most disturbing dream I've ever had happened in about October 1997: I dreamed I was walking along the Champs Elysee (spelling) in Paris and it was a foggy night. Out of the fog to my left, a person wearing a hoodie appeared and approached me, walking by. I suddenly realized who it was and went after the person and touched their shoulder. The person - female - turned around, said "Yes, Trevor?" pulled off the hood and it was Princess Diana.
That wasn't scary at all but the one side of her face was torn off, the bone showed through and she had maggots crawling on her face. :buggedout: :buggedout:
