hi. I was wondering if anyone else suffers from bad nightmares. I have been having them almost all of my life at this point. I saw a doctor about this when I was younger and they kind of assured me this would go away with age but now I am 20 and it still continues on a regular basis. It tends to get worse with time actually and now my nightmares are worse than ever. It has become just a tad embarassing because I consider myself a fairly strong and fearless person but I just can't sleep after I have a nightmare like this I have to talk to someone to get back to normal I end up calling my friend sometimes without even knowing. I looked at my dialed calls on my cell one morning after having really bad nightmare and showed I had called him right afterwards.
When I try to talk to any of my friends about i think they think it is funny. I think it was quite normal when I was younger but now people think I should have outgrown this
these aren't just typical nightmares like falling or something, I mean these are all horrible and graphic, usually concerning getting my throat slit. The problem is in the dreams I always ALWAYS know I am about to die, I get the sensation before I ever see the attacker, I just know he is there and that is the worst part of the dream is that tension and anxiety and this pure fear I feel this fear like it were real life, I can not stand this feeling of just pure terror. It unsettles me even into the day
I swear I am a really strong willed person I feel I have no fears in my every day life. I used to have many but I confronted them all and now I feel I'm afriad of nothing I don't know why this wont go away. Has anyone have similar experience?
