    Should be in food and health really but they sound like impotence dreams. I frequently used to have dreams where I was cha sed by something or other and the gun I would find wouldn't work or the lock on the door burst or the car wouldn't start etc. Traditionally this relates to impotence in a situation rather than your dick. If your not aware of them I can post some dream control tricks. I found them helpful and they make bad dreams actually kind of fun and exciting.

    Last dream thread led to me shagging a woman with Lionel Richie's hair between her legs.

    I had a nightmare my sophomore year in college about my high school contacting me and telling me I didn't actually graduate and I had to go back to high school before I could progress any more in college. That one really fucked with my head in the morning. Mostly because my brain did the ultimate fuck you and I went to bed for the night in my dream just before I woke up.

    Either way the sleep that puts me in the most pissy mood and ruins my day is the type that feels like you never actually fell asleep. Lay in bed at 11pm, blink and it's 6am. Fuck that shit.

    I can relate Lallante, since I've been having nightmares in my sleep since I was 14 every single night, usually 3 - 4 different nightmares, everything from flash backs of seeing my mother getting high on herion, cocaine and other drugs, to my father beating the living the hell out of me, my sisters burning me with cigarettes butts too strange convoluted scenes of almost a mixture of science fiction and fantasy setting, where I am involved in various predicaments which are very unpleasant to describe. After really a decade, you start hating sleep, you wish that you didn't have to sleep, it becomes something you regret every single night, where you want to stay up till dawn, I mean usually I only get 3 - 5 hours of sleep...

    However, seemingly talking about this with the therapist seem to help but only to a degree. I think it's fine talking about it Lallante, but in my mind at least nightmares are merely a light version of post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) which takes years to solve, and still it lingers....

    I used to get nightmares up to about high school age... but since then nothing really.

    I think I'm lucky, I can't even recall the last time I had a dream or nightmare. Sometimes when I'm woken up abruptly I can remember something... but its gone after a couple seconds.

    As far as I know that is what is supposed to happen. Though two nightmares stuck in my memory, one I already mentioned but I probably remember it because I told my room mate about it shortly after waking up. The other is about over sized ants (about kitten sized) which I had when I was about two years old. I'm not sure why it stuck with me, I'm not afraid of ants.

    Last night I had the perfect "jerk awake suddenly like the bed disappeared and you're falling" reaction. It came entirely out of the blue, I was sprawled out and in that blissful fuzzy limbo where your mind is almost completely inactive but you're not quite asleep yet. Nearly fell out of bed before thinking "Damn it, was trying to go to sleep, now I have to start all over."

    This used to happen to me all the time as a kid, obviously it's a common thing, but it's been years for me. It may be related that I didn't have any alcohol before bed for the first time in a while.

    I'm going to assume that a lot of this is because of the inability to disassociate their work/school life from their normal life.

    If it is such the case, simply doing another activity outside their normal life should help (i.e. GOING OUTSIDE, or god forbid, DRINKING, or whatever you need)

    Stay safe guys

    If you are eating carb-heavy dinners and snacking on carbs in the evening you could cut that down and see if it helps. Anecdotally i've heard from two people that cutting out their pasta-heavy dinners has reduced their nightmares.

    Can't find anything official on it though, but it could be worth a try.

    apparently if you eat enough of these your regular nightmares will seem peaceful.

    Either that or youll get this strange craving for building wooden boats and invade England.

    i have this problem. doctor said it was an inner-ear thing.

    you get nightmares because there's some shit in your life that you're repressing. no one will be able to interpret your dreams correctly but you, for the exact same reason a test isn't going to tell you that you're an ENTJ and not an INTP like you always thought you were.

    edit: it was a trap

    interesting thread.

    currently having a bit of a set to with my gf about my dreams and night behaviour, as its been getting steadily worse over the last few months. she blames me smoking weed, but i don't think it's related - i've been having dreams where i sit up, shout, move around etc since i was about 12 (before i started drinking/smoking). if anything, i've found weed suppressed any dreaming whatsoever.

    so more recently i've jumping out of bed, fighting invisible enemies, and attacking her (not really attacking, more grappling really). i can't remember what happens in these dreams, and am only aware that i've been up when she tells me the next day. the only one i've remembered so far is that i was on a road in a forest, and saw a car driving towards me. at the last minute i dived out of the way, but unfortunately dived out of bed and into the mirror-fronted cupboard to the left of my bed. it didn't break but the loud crash was enough to scare the shit out of my gf. i woke up kind of kneeling down on the floor to the side of the bed, didn't really know what was going on but i felt kind of happy, started giggling a bit but was a bit unsure of what had ocurred. (this was before i started playing DayZ btw)

    a couple of nights ago i apparently attacked her, she woke up and i was screaming something in her face and restraining her. she kept shouting at me to wake up but i didn't, it was only when she started crying that i did. i still don't remember anything, any nightmare or anything. i'd had probably one spliff and played a bit of blacklight that evening, but certainly nothing more - a long session of gaming for me is probably six hours, i don't really have time for longer than that.

    anyway i am a bit unhappy about the relationship at the moment, quite a lot of resentment towards my gf due to money issues as well as a general feeling that i want it to end, but i'm too much of a pussy to actually raise it in conversation. i find myself talking through situations with her by myself, arguments, get quite worked up about it but can't seem to actually get to the 'this is happening' stage. my concern is that i'm subconsciously taking my anger out on her in my sleep, or that my resentment towards her is manifesting in night behaviour. i know i need to talk about the stuff that is bothering me, but can't ever raise it, and when we have an argument that could realistically end in me walking out, i back down.

    only remember one scray nightmare. I was in my room looking at the wall that looked like it was made of crab legs sticking out of it, like thousands of them. that didn't really scare me so I started to go closer and touch them and suddenly someone tells me those are spider legs. I literally jumped out of my bed wide awake and stared at the wall for a minute to make sure it's just a wall...

    fuck spiders

    If I start having a nightmare, I normally remember having it previously, while still dreaming and then things go all lucid.
    I had never even heard of lucid dreaming till I read some stupid article on it where people are going to classes to learn how to. I've been doing it since I was very young, interestingly I can wake myself up at anytime in a dream by yawning.

    my GF has nightmares most nights due to her Migraine medication, some can be pretty bad. She hallucinates mostly, seeing spiders/insects, monsters etc in the bedroom. I have to be careful if I get up to piss during the night as she often see's 2 or 3 of me coming out of the en-suite and freaks out.

    I'm waiting for the day when she takes a walk around the apartment corridors
    I'm not a girl, and I don't know what a "Mendolorian" is.. I think it might be a self healing car that travels through time.
