What gets you in the night?

Jonny69 · 18-08-2011, 12:12

Whenever I have a nightmare, it's always bloody zombies trying to get me. Then I'm scared to get up in the dark to go to the loo because I'm convinced I'm going to get got by them in the dark. Not ever really given it much though other than that. The other half, however, is always being chased by crocodiles. So it would appear that we have consistent nightmares despite never having seen a real croc or z0mgbie in real life

Anyone else get chased by the same stuff over and over again?

It's normally people who want to kill me for some unknown reason... :-\

I don't suffer from anything reoccurring like that now you point it out... At all, it's rare i have a nightmare (very rare) and when i do i kinda find them thrilling in an odd sense? Now i just sound weird...

My nightmares are usually about not being able to breath. I have had spiders spinning webs on my face, the air being sucked out of the room, drowning, being buried alive and so on.

However, it's not the nightmares themselves that are problematic for me, it's the memory issues I have in the night. I often wake up, totally awake, and I cannot remember who I am, what my name is, where I am, who the person is lying next to me, where I live or anything.

This will last until I turn the light on and even then my memory often only partially returns. I may remember my name, but have no idea of where I am, for example. I do seem to be less scared of it now, and can often go back to sleep knowing that "it's probably just some kind of wierd dream" (which it probably is, even though I am technically awake). I'm always fine in the morning (so far.....

)

Still freaks me out though. Happens less than it did, but is still monthly at least.

I'm always 'on the run' in my dreams though I've no idea what from. Some sort of fascist authority I guess, or something like 'The Nothing' from The NeverEnding Story.

Don't really have bad dreams that often, but almost every night wake up a few times convinced there is someone in the room coming to get me. For the first few seconds of waking it's pure panic and I see things that aren't there in shadows and objects, then I force myself to go back to sleep!

Ian Beale (from Eastenders) was trying to kill me for years. He used to chase me round my street and drive his car into my front garden.

Can't remember the last time I had a nightmare actually.

Speaking of which, I forgot Von Smallhausen sang that

I still get nightterrors which are horrible. Can never remember the details of them though.
I have a lot of "unsettling" dreams where I'm sure there is someone watching me/in the wardrobe/hiding behind the curtain and I usually have to get up and close the wardrobe or put the lights on before I can stop that feeling. I'll have at least 1 of those type a week.
