Hey Yea Forums, in need of some advice
I've been plagued with chronic nightmares/terrible dreams for well over a year now, and I mean every single night, every single time I sleep. I wake up in panics with my heart beating out of my chest, and I remember nearly every dream. I am a strong individual and really have no desire to see a psychologist/psychiatrist. Has anyone else had problems with this before? Solutions?
Thanks in advance..

Put a radio on when you go to sleep. Talk shows will influence your dreams if you are unable to stop them from going to dark places.

Or maybe a spotify playlist.

I've tried relaxing music, but I haven't tried podcasts or talk shows. Will try that. Honestly willing to try anything at this point, I haven't slept well since this started and its fucking me up pretty bad. Thanks user

Did you have any traumatic experiences before this started? Did you hurt an animal or kill a person? Do you have a stressful job?

I've had a really fucked up upbringing, filled with abuse and violence, but nothing that I haven't accepted. And this is all a recent development. I've never hurt anyone that didnt deserve it. Also yes, I have quite a stressful job that requires me to physically perform and produce quality work on a daily basis.

Hmm, sounds like your utterly consumed with guilt, just admit it and confess.
You're among friends here, let it all out we won't tell.

I honestly have nothing ill to confess, in my daily awake life I have no guilt, and no regrets. I have no idea where these subconscious dreams/thoughts are coming from. I wish it were that easy

What do the dreams entail user?

They are mostly about me trying to run away, whether it be from getting physically attacked, or running away from police. Always ends with getting shot, or stabbed, or captured and beaten. Dream almost always starts with me doing something terrible, like committing a crime or killing someone, which I never and would never do in waking life. I'm an individual with high morals, would never do anything outside the law, and I've never had problems with people or the police

For the morning, Psalm 3:5
I lie down and sleep;
I wake again, because the Lord sustains me.
For the evening, Psalm 4:8
In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, Lord, make me dwell in safety

Amen.
I look to God every day for answers as to why I've been plagued with this. I questioned it for a while and lost some faith, but I hold strong believing it's all just some sort of test of strength/faith. I appreciate it, brother.

Check your bed and surrounding area for any weird objects that don't belong to you. Possible witchcraft.

He provides me all the comfort during my waking life, but its when I'm alone in my subconscious these demons take hold

Theres was a time when i would get a nightmare at least once a week. And these nightmares weren't even scary or anything. Just old friends who's friendships ended abruptly and these dreams would be either talking to them like we were still friends (and me asking why they left and whatnot) or some weird 4th wall breaking torment on how I'll always be lonely. And every time I'd wake up wanting to cry. Not to mention the paranoia of which day of the week id get the dream and not wanting to sleep for that.

As funny as it sounds, I will do that. I need answers to this shit, it's getting worse and it's like there is nothing I can do about it. Maybe I have been cursed

You are having Night Terrors.

See your MD.

try meditation and learn about zen

listen to some alan watts before sleep

>willing to try anything
>not willing to see therapist

listen to Alan Watts lectures on youtube, super comfy dude with super positive vibes

Can't you dream about shooting the police and being immune to their bullets? You can also get telekinesis and rip their hearts out of their chest.

beat me to it, faggot

I completely know what you mean about the paranoia and anxiety about going to sleep. It's gotten to the point where I hate sleeping, knowingly giving up control and being constantly tormented with my worst fears.

I'm to the point where I think I might need to do that. I've never had problems with my mental health before and consider myself a strong individual. I just figured this would pass or I could solve it myself.

I love Alan Watts, will put on some of his lectures next time I try to sleep. I appreciate your guys' input. It honestly means a lot, I've been dealing with this completely alone. I dont want to be seen as a nut or going insane from my peers or family. Its nice to have another to get this shit off my chest to.

I wish, brother

>Don't eat spicy food before bed
>Lower the room temperature
>Exhaust yourself completely to the point of blackout tired
>Address your bullshit when awake so it doesn't "haunt" you when you're trying to sleep.
>Attempt to destroy your dreams by immediately realizing it's a dream and taking control. It takes the wind out of anything to get shot in a dream and just keep going because nothing actually happened. Or to point at somebody and watch them explode. Or you know, grab a power drill and stab them in the eye sockets repeatedly as blood squirts everywhere, nobody is judging.

I'll keep all that in mind. I work out to exhaustion most nights, but it only gets me through til the early morning hours, where I have the same dreams. I wish I knew what it was that was the underlying subconscious issues I'm having was, so I could deal with it, but I'm lost. And I wish I could make the distinction from dreamland and reality, but the dreams are so vivid and realistic, and my brain can not determine at the time because in such a panicked state. I appreciate your input, I'll definitely try to keep all that in mind.

This is a dick thing to ask, are you overweight or anything? You could be experiencing sleep apnea and your body is waking you up to keep you from dying.

No I'm in very good shape, also in very good health. I run just about every morning and work out just about every night, as well eat a very healthy diet. It's not a dick thing to ask, its relevant haha

Well, that's interesting. I mean, I guess if you didn't want to go to a psych you could try a sleep study and see if they can figure out anything with high tech equipment rather than some moron asking you how you feel.

Yr subconscious is definitely trying to tell you something user

Meditating on the Word, Scripture memory, singing hymns, listening to worship and praise music help me

And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:
Acts 2:17

It is the end of days.
There is little to do at this point except watch it all unfold.

>I am a strong individual
Oh, couldn't have dealt with this by yourself and not posted this? Very strong.

>ith chronic nightmares/terrible dreams
smoke weed evry day. no dreams

Jokes aside, I've experienced something similar in the past. It lasted for almost a year for me. Can't remember what changed in me/my surroundings (actually, this was around puberty, so maybe not too mysterious in my case).

It is a bit worrisome that this has gone for so long for you user. This is some 'Beyond the Wall of Sleep' shit.

This. Can’t remember the last dream I had.
