You were scared to fall back asleep, hence <Nightmare>

Let's see...I remember back when I was like 10 or 11 and I was into Goosebumps then. I remember reading this book about this evil dog with red eyes. I forgot what the book was called, but the dog was evil. So after some time of reading that book, guess what?

I had a dream that an evil dog with glaring red eyes was attacking me. And I even remember waking up screaming and thrashing my feet. Ever since then, I slept with my frog (stuffed animal) and since then I never had any bad dreams. I never went to sleep without it. I got out of that habit eventually, , around 15 or 16 (I had to move on one of these days....)

So once I got rid of the frog, I realized that I would have to face the nightmares eventually. I remember one time I had this dream about being in a tunnel and this ghostly figure shaped demon was after me. I think he even grabbed me, but I escaped his grip and I woke up scared to death. I couldn't fall asleep after that. Everytime I closed my eyes, I would see the image and open them again. I remember staring at the ceiling with my eyes wide open. I couldn't do anything but gaze at the ceiling. I didn't want to fall asleep again.

There as been some more, but I can't remember them right now. But those two stick in my mind forever.

Anyways...how about you?

LMAO. Kevin.

No, I don't usually get nightmares.

A few years ago, I kept getting nightmares of being lost in very strange places (examples: underground construction sites, forests at nighttime, abandoned cities), but they've gone away. I don't think I can recall any nightmares for over a year...

^Were you able to sleep after that? (Usually you wake up from Nightmares in the night...at least I do)

The most detailed dreams take place in the morning near the end of the sleep cycle, so when I woke up from these nightmares, it was time to wake-up anyways, so I wouldn't try to go back to sleep.

****.

Only when I take naps and I remind myself like 100 times that I have to wake up early. I dream that someone slaps me and then I wake up. At that time, it's usually 15 minutes before I had to wake up.

but this days, i am getting nightmares!!! maybe 3 times straight

I had nightmares about Bloody Mary when i was younger scary stuff

^lol, that was creepy...

it was creepy it all started in the 4th grade someone said that are school was haunted by bloody mary just thinking about it makes laugh but back then i was young so of course i believed it and i had nightmares because of it it lasted like a month or 2 that's how long it lasted and just like Kevin i had a had a stuffed animal that i slept with which was a teddy bear & i was not afraid anymore. Sleeping with a stuffed animal really helps. But that was the last nightmare i had after that all my dreams are now funny & weird

Oh I have one, It was last week, I was on top of a HUGE BUilding, close to the "Empire state building" and everything was flooded and the water reached the top of the building, touching my feet and I was so freaking scared in the dream and I kept walking and I could not see the floor and out of nowhere I fell into the deep and my dream just blurred out when I woke up, it was so scary....

One time I had a dream...

That there was this guy
watching me sleep on my bed and when i woke up in my dream
i was scared.
then it ended up he was my best friend but he just got a new haircut
then he turned into an alien about to take me to space
and i like was trying to scream but nothing came out
and then i woke up scared to death, my brother just standing there, watching me.

irony.

i hate the dreams where ur falling and right before u hit the ground u wake up and shudder....its freaky lol

^ i know ! i hate that

Sometimes, I would dream that I was on a boat, and I was laying down, but the boat tips over at an end and I wake up and it feels like the bed tilted.

^whoa thats freaky!

^Omg, I just remembered another one...

I dreamed that like there was this huge war going on and I was in my room and all. Then a bomb was dropped causing the whole world to shake. Then in my dream...I was in my room feeling the whole house and ground shake. Then I remember our house wobbling back and forth and right before I woke up, the house tipped over (like it crumbled over) and it was just scary. Then like maybe a week or two later...not sure but we had this Tornado Warning's going off and bad weather and I was like praying that my dream didnt' come true (even though it wasn't a bomb) but yeah...you get it. Luckily the Tornado never hit us, but we did have really bad weather and the power was out. I think I even remember the house shaking a couple of times due to the thunder.

Freaky?

i can hardly remember my dreams, lol

just when i wake up, i completely dont remember some of it, some just flew in my mind
