Too Many Nightmares: Less Than 13 Hours Of Sleep For 2 Weeks

[Deleted member 28862]

From Mid November to now of this year... I'm guessing a lot of my repressed memories has been showing up a lot. I have been staying up really late and getting up early in the morning because of chores and my work. I suffer from really bad PTSD from childhood molestation, incest rape and other child abuse. I absolutely can not take human contact. After a few hours of being around people I'm just beyond exhausted.

I look up many definitions to my nightmares and they always come back to the same conclusion of me have repressed memories, and being afraid of loosing someone special, afraid of failings and all that jazz. My period was even 3 weeks late. Sometime in October I was forced to have sex with a trusted and that when everything started to fall apart. I feel like I'm back in the 11th grade when these things we happening.

Sometimes the dreams are just confusing, sometimes it's really scary but most of the times it's about my childhood.

Do you write them down...your dreams and nightmares I mean?

They can be scary at the time, but very valuable if you take the time to write them down and work out what they mean to you. If you have a lot of repressed memories then this can be one way they will surface so you can face them in a fantasy like form, and then analyse later.

I've been having some pretty full on nightmares lately as well, and they involve men with no faces, carrying silver trays and wearing no top and leather pants...creepy as. Another one has the face from anonymous and the V for Vendetta character, and I worked out with my art therapist what I think that one meant for me...it has nothing to do with murder and what it seems in the dream.

@Philippa I usually don't write them down,It seems that I do have many repressed memories, sometime when I try to remember things of my childhood I get a head ache
