worst nightmare I've had in a while.

[xstuhc]

okay so I'm 17 years old, and I just had probably the worst nightmare I've had in a REALLY long time.
I went to sleep at about 9:30, my typical time that I gts, and when I fall asleep- from what I can remember I start dreaming-
and what I do remember about this dream is hiding behind a chair from someone, then eventually, pretending to be dead, from the POV of a little girl, while her mom makes sure all the other kids are dead. I didn't know if it was her mom or not, but it just felt like it was- like this gut feeling. and I could feel everything in the dream- like I could feel the carpet under me, and as the little girl, I couldn't breath, since I was pretending to be dead. but later, after the kids mother had left the room, back up the stairs of the cellar, I had stood up- but then my POV changes, and I'm someone? idk who I am but I'm someone looking at one of the kids in the cellar- a little boy, holding a camera, watching TV- then like a hand comes out, but its super skinny with wires and stuff, and turns his camera off. the light goes out, and you can hear him go "huh?" and then him screaming. then I woke up.


the thing about It is that kid looked a lot like my brother.

but now I like- CANNOT stop thinking about it. its 2 am my time.

Hi, I don't know what your history is, but something in real life might have made you frightened, confused and perhaps also hypervigilant.
Dreaming can be very strange. They are a combination of your unconscious mind, things that happened yesterday or longer ago, how you see the future and more. Write them down. I had for years the same dream. Doors in a house. I couldn't leave a house, every time there was another door to be opened. This was before I began T. Than I dreamt about a toll bridge I had to cross But I had no money. Some one from the other side threw me some. So I could cross. (the therapist ) Than I dreamt things like murdering a boy from school.

You're processing things that are too complicated/difficult/ painful. When you have a normal dream you are also processing things.
Talk ,write, sing, rap about your trauma. Get it out of your system. Post on this forum.
