What Was Your Nightmare

Okay so i have been told to write my nightmares down. So I thought I would create a tread so people could write their dreams down if you wish. So after drifting off after being in the chat room. I move straight into the middle of an old town and I am aware I have to hide quickly. Other wise something will get me I can't say what the something is only that I'm terrified. I run through the damp streets finding others in the same situation. So after hours of peering and sneaking we locate a building that seems empty. We run into it and secure the door at the last minute. You can here the something trying to get in the door. We run down and down metallic stairs until we get into catacombs. We decide to block the entrance and hide in these unknown tombs. We can still here our pursuers. We are scared we are not sure we can trust each other. We find weapons and try and fortify the tomb. We can here the barricades being broken and discarded we have to find a way out we can we are trapped. Something breaks through the barricade and brushes up my leg I know I'm dead now I scream. I wake up screaming my bed is wet through. I have this dream so frequently but see different buildings and people but it's always the same theme. I can guarantee that this particular dream will result in me wetting the bed. I'm going to try an alarm tonight to see if I can stop the wet bed and break the dream. My friend soph gave me this idea lets see if it works.
 
My nightmare started when I was 15. I could feel his grip on my head. I wake up choking and gagging and covered in sweat. I've had the same nightmare for 20 years. Sometimes it's so often I'm afraid to sleep.
 
I regularly have nightmares about choking (but on various types of food).

Recently I dreamt I was fighting one of my abusers, she was pushing me and I was about to push her down a flight of stairs but woke up before I could do it.

I have regular dreams about being late for appointments and exams and failing exams.

Also, nightmares about being trapped, the most recent was I was in a futuristic hospital and all the doors locked electronically and me and the other patients couldn't escape.

Last year I had a nightmare about standing on a rooftop holding a knife against my own throat and about to kill myself. There were police on the road below shouting "don't do it" I said "why, do you just not want to clean up the mess?" they said "no, it's because we care about you" I said "nobody cares" and woke just before I killed myself.

I often have ones about teeth falling out and being deformed too :(

I was in the house I grew up in with my family. All the topics of conversation were just all the awful things they always were. Me and my siblings were all the age we are now, but my parents were the age they were when I last spent time with them in that house, 20 years ago.
 
So last night I was still running from the creatures, riding bikes at top speed, hiding out in an secret attic with a baby. It became over run and we fled to the beach where the waves were so big they dragged us out to sea I couldn't breath. It was awful but made a change from the catacombs!
 
When I was little I had a repetitive nightmare for years of moving men in a moving truck chasing me and laughing saying you know you have to move and taking me to foster parents that were foreigners. Looking back I wanted to get away but was afraid to because the abuser told me horror stories about foster care. Recently I had a nightmare about my grandfather dying. Hate nightmares!!!!!!

My recurring dream is that I'm in different parts of the world I have travelled to, one night I could be in Greece and the next night Birmingham, but it guaranteed that I'm terrified where ever I am, I'm being hunted down by nasty ruthless people who want to kill me, I run and hide in places but I know that these hiding places aren't good enough and my chasers will soon find me so I decide to make another run for it, I reach a place where there is a drop like an end of a cliff, I jump and swoop down with my arms extended like wings, I start to descend rapidly but to my absolute relief I turn my hands upwards and start to fly, I glide over towns and cities, mountains and countryside, knowing that while I'm in flight I am safe in the sky's, but the downside is that I have to land, and then the fear of being chased starts all over again.
 
I had a nightmare for the first time in awhile last night..usually my nightmares mimic my traumas to a tee, or are symbolic in a way to what happened. This time it was the latter. During one of my rapes, I was sodomized. During my dream, I was watching someone be sodomized..screaming, crying for help..and I couldn't save them. I just had to keep watching them suffer..

Just another reason why sleep is not my friend...
