Do you have nightmares?

[popeye11]

When I am awake (so to speak) I can control my thinking and get in a better mood, but at night for about the past four years, I have had horrid, horrid nightmares about twice a week or more, and wake up shaking.

I do have lucid dreams, but do not have them when I have nightmares, I just wake up in terrors sometimes.

[notaslave]

I have suffered nightmares on and off most of my life which I think is why I started lucid dreaming years ago. Fortunately they now always send me into lucid dreaming state and so I can turn things around before I wake up. Apart from when I was on meds, where I didnt lucid dream at all and then just suffered the occasional nightmare, with the meds I was on producing some powerful scarey nightmares at times. So I do know how it is to wake in the middle of night with the sweat pouring off you and terrified.

I do not know how you can make yourself lucid dream, its not something I have consciously tried (ie it just happens for me). I am sure there must be a way of doing it though and perhaps someone here will be able to tell you.

I don't know if it helps but years ago I used to keep a dream diary, which I kept next to the bed, and scribbled down my dreams. Not sure but this may have induced the whole lucid dreaming thing. Because it was there every night when I went to bed, so it was in my head before I went to sleep, this may have helped start the awareness of dreaming when asleep.

Create your own fate my friend, and your dreams will follow your will.

[popeye11]

Notaslave and Horus21, thank you for replying. Maybe I could get back to a dream diary, it did help me to have many more lucid dreams. I am working on creating my own fate and will keep doing so.

Again, thank you,

Just do it. If you do not, something else will.

I too have horrific nightmares (I have chronic PTSD) and this is a symptom or something like that.

Anyways the majority of my nightmares are of cataclysmic events,usually nuclear warfare.The other types deal with massively huge storms mostly tornadoes.

I have had these nightmares since I was a little boy (I am 40 y/o now) and they are not getting any better.I too have about 2 a week on average,sometimes I yell in my sleep,talk,but mostly I wake up in a cold sweat.

I talked about this to a 'shrink' once,this guy said it was common for what problems I have but he could give me medicne to stop dreaming or I wont remember my dreams any more this is where I drew the line,it was about that time where I had to make a choice that 'they' were/are full of shit,and I wont deal with them anymore if I have anything to say about it!!

In short,over time I am used to these dreams anymore I kind of look at it like watching the movie 'Threads' over and over in my mind :cool:

I read in the Pleiadian Agenda that humans have these nuclear dreams because we have memories in the past of this happening in Atlantis, and that we were still traumatized. I dunno, but I have had a few and they are realistic and detailed.

Have you tried to meditation to induce lucid dreams? They are dreams that you control and are fully conscious and they are fantastic!

Would not recommend any drugs! And turn off the TV, that evikes bad dreams.

[eat_a_grey]

Actually I havent tried meditation per-say,I have a very hard time trying to relax as it is.

Can you post some info about the 'Pleiadian Agenda' this is something that I would like to know more about!

I can control my dreams somewhat.Strange though,I NEVER die in these dreams,usually I am trying to help the living.

One time I had a dream just before an 'event' that the moon turned blood red and there were two moons,but one was 'normal'.

I can still remember the majority of the dreams I have had about these events.Vividly oddly enough.

[popeye11]

Hi Horus21, yep I am doing my best. Eat a grey, I would have felt totally lost without meditation. I know it's hard, but you have to learn how to get past all the stuff you mentioned. It's not easy for westener's, but soooooooooooo worth it. I cannot reccomend it highly enough. Just my opinion, but connecting with your own real self is so much better than anything. We are already connected, just don't know it. When you learn how to communicate with your own self, you can be led to certain books. Barbara Marciniak is a good source for Pleiadians, but you can't trust everything ever, but your own self. Mountain, great advice!
Last night I woke up with a nightmare and looked at my clock at the foot of the bed 4:11 which reminds me, I could go on for miles talking about how often I see 11's and hear about 11's. 1:11, 2:11, 3:11 etc. Mostly, it's 1,11 or 11:11. These are not usually associated with nightmares, but I always awake at something 11. Addresses, phone numbers, bus numbers, names. It goes on and on. After having researched this for years, I asked my own self and found that it's a wake-up call, a hello and an energy sender of some kind. I don't understand it totally yet.

I forgot to say that I think we work out things in our sleep that would be too overwhelming for the conscious mind. Maybe just part of it?

[chandrakavi]

Hi Popeye11!

A dream diary is very good, day to day.
also if you DO NOT WANT TO HAVE A NIGHTMARE again,
DRAW IT, in cartoon comic way,
and then burn it.
Once you have drawn it, it has come out of your unconciouss mind
into your concious mind, and once burned , out of your system,
so it won't repeat itself.
And from there on you will have more harmonic dreams
you will keep the positive, and will have thrown away the trash
One should try meditation, it cleans the mind daily for an hour at the
beginning, and eventually for a life-time.

INFINITE LOVE TO YOU

[de_shit]

Man I dont even dream that often. Its like once a month. I had a lucid dream once. I told myself to have one and I did. All that happened was me saying in my dream, "holy shit I'm in a dream" and I never had a lucid dream ever again. I seem to dream when I have music playing, but when I had my friend spend the night, he listened to rap (Lil Wayne's Tha Carter) and I had bad dreams, dreams where I wanted money or some shit. When I listen to my own shit (Jerry Cantrell's Degradation Trip) I have better dreams. I don't know what they are of, but I can tell they are more pleasant. I dream a lot more though since I'm off of my Adderall.

[tinmenace]

You're transmuting lower energies, and we often do this when we sleep. We get a lot done in our sleep.

[popeye11]

Thanks for all the great replies. I have had to be away for awhile, but I am glad to be back. I am in SoCal and all the fires surprisingly has not made the nightmares worse and so I am thinking that maybe I am working some things out in my dreams.
I used to have Lucid dreams all the time, but with these nighmares (which are getting much better), may be the reason I have shut down to seeing them all.
And yes, meditation has been my key.

Thanks again,

Popeye

[bennett211085]

I've just read the title and havent read the rest sorry, but needed to say last night I had the most wierdest nightmare ever for me.

My usual nightmares consist of being chased constantly & set in places where normal "real world" physics are different, mostly less gravity for some bizarre reason.
This was very different on the other hand. I woke up like normal and thourght I was going about my normal buisness when at some point docters and the police turned up and started calling the rest of my family to say they are detaining me under the mental health act for further examination. Everytime I tried to explain myself or my view I was laughed at and ridiculed. I could not contact my family and it was horrendous.
When I woke up at about 3.00 am sweating like a beast, I remembered every single aspect of my very real dream and its had me worried ever since. I honestly think I'm being warned of an inpending event in my life! What the fuck should I do!

[indigo]

I used to have a recurring nightmare where I was chased constantly by a thing which looked just like my avatar. I'm serious, this thing would chase me through tunnels, until one night the dream turned lucid and I turned to face it asked it what it wanted and it run off. This thing also used to pick me up and carry me over it's shoulder. i think it used to fancy me actually.:o But since asking it what it wanted from me, I haven't seen it again and wont hopefully:o. Touch wood

[adimon]

I haven't remembered my dreams for many years now. :(

Up until about five years ago I recorded my dreams - much of this writing found its way into my first novel. Then I just stopped remembering them.

As a kid, however, I had one recurring nightmare which was of a face, but...and this is where it becomes hard to describe...not the image of a face but the awareness, the knowledge of a face...not something I could draw...the face is male (not through features, but just knowing it is) and middle-aged to elderly, eyes squinting almost shut, a big diabolical grin with teeth showing, and the face is shaking side to side with evil laughter.

The most evil thing about it is that I feel (when dreaming it) that this face is a portent of something extremely bad, and I can't bear to have it laugh at me...the laugh (when I think about it I can conjure the feeling of it, but again, not the actual sound) would be somewhere in the region of Muttley, the dog from Wacky Races. The whole thing is so bad that I force myself awake to escape from it. Always I was cold and covered in sweat.

Sorry it's very hard to describe.

[popeye11]

Boy, did I have a doozy last night and so I am hoping that we are just working some things out in our sleep and that 'they' have not figured out a way to screw with our dreams. I used to look forward to going to bed because it was so peaceful to sleep and dream wonderful dreams and so these nightmares are something new for me the past year or so. I really feel for you that are having this same thing.

Love

[chandrakavi]

Here is some interesting stuff I read in an Osho book about dreams....

"The concious mind is more egoistic, obviously; the ego never penetrates into the unconcious. The society can only teach the concious, the society cannot teach the unconcious, at least not yet---they are trying hard."

"This is one of the great dangers that the future generations will have to face. If the politicians have gadgets with them which can teach people while they are asleep, then there will never be any possibility of rebellion.

While he is asleep, you can make a person a communist,catholic, Hindu, Buddhist, Christian, Mohamedanand because it will be in his unconcious he will be absolutely unable to go beyond it...because the uncouncious is nine times more powerful than the concious. If the politicians can reach the unconcious then humanity is doomed.. Then children will be taught while asleep. Even sleep will not be your own and private; sleep will not be a personal thing, it will be owned by the state. Your dreams can be manipulated , your unconscious can be manipulated, but fortunately it has not happened yet."

"You may be the last generation which has the possibility to rebel.Humanity can be reduced to a robot-like existence. So rebel while there is still time!

It happens more often you are closer to the truth, closer to reality, when you are deeply asleep (...)

The body belongs to the earth, you belong to the sky.
The body belongs to matter, you belong to God.

I teach you meditation, prayer, love, only because they take you to the center. To dissolve yourself in poetry is to dissolve yourself in God---and certainly without surrender of the ego it is not possible, you have to be absent for him to become a presence in you.
Die(to the ego), so that you can be.

Hence psychoanalysis became so interested in your dreams, because in youur dreams you are truer, in your dreams all the censors of the society dissapear.In your dreams you are saying things as they are, seeing things as they are, seeing yourself as you are. The moment you are awake, you start pretending. Your wakefulness is a long long pretension".

INFINITE LOVE IS THE ONLY ANSWER
EVERYTHING ELSE IS ILLUSION

[popeye11]

Chandrakavi, I used to read Osho a lot. I was on my way to bed and just thought I'd check the site and saw this. This is one of the most interesting write-ups I've seen in a long time. Thank you for taking the time to type it.
It is definitely a scary thought having someone able to get into your dreams so I guess it's time to really get down to business. I will read it again in the morning when I am not so tired.

Thanks again

Popeye

[chandrakavi]

Hi Popeye!:)

Yes I have read that in the end of the 20th century, in the midst of the cold war, the USA spent millions on finding out about dreams, also the USSR then, and I'm sure they are continuing on the 21st century, it is a very powerful weapon.

It has been said that the child also( if things are well used) can be taught
at night math, languages etc, so they don't have to go to school during the daytime. Also this can be done while in pregnancy, and the new born child will be born with specific knowledge.

Anyway it is best to write up what we dream,to keep a diary, so we still can realize what was our own, and what were directed dreams, luckily (I presume) still has not happened, at least I would like to think so.

As you say it's time to get down to business. And get away as Auron says "from the thought Police".

P.S. This quote is taken from a few pages from THE BOOK OF WISDOM,
he talks on many other subjects, but I found this very interesting.

Best to you Popeye,

Chandrakavi

[rebel ins]

just my 2 cents, I very rarely experience nightmares

had an unusual lucid dream last night, during the dream for no reason appeared the vision of two snakes or serpentine creatures (I don't think at all about serpents in ''real'' life) made of white slightly purple light, then they started to unite, abstract images appeared in my mind and started to change, constantly speeding up to the point they weren't noticable anymore to the concious mind, simultaneusly with it the pain was increasing, unbearable, I thought my mind will blow up, it was the most horrible nightmare that I've experienced, but wasn't in fear technically, it was a waking dream so I was able to get out, now it bothers me what would have happened if I didn't

I hadn't taken any substances before, in fact I had no desire to take anything for almost a year

Anyway it is best to write up what we dream,to keep a diary

yea, those are messages that our ''higher self'' tries to get to us

[razed1]

if we break the word down, we have NIGHT-MARE

night - female horse???

what could be the meaning of this word????:confused:

[chandrakavi]

It seems that
MARE= female horse
it is similar to the word MAR(in spanish also) which means SEA (A SEA AT NIGHT)
in spanish nightmare is called PESADILLA ,which means a "heavy load"

In english NIGHTMARE would be THE NIGHT FEMALE HORSE

That's as close as I can get to the origin of the word.:D:)

[popeye11]

Who would have guessed it could get so challenging, but I did find out that I was getting some psychic messages so-to-speak in my dreams that I did not want to accept. They kept getting worse and worse until I got the point. So, it does make you wonder if all your dreams are your own. :eek: Waking up is so very hard to do, sometimes.

[razed1]

could it be with dreams, that this is your right brain trying to communicate to you?

[popeye11]

I don't know razed1. It seems like the more I know, the less I know.

Best to you, and all

popeye

[chandrakavi]

Hi razed 1!!


There is a very interesting book by C.G. JUNG called MAN AND HIS SYMBOLS,,
he explains there how patients of his got ANSWERS to his problems.

Also about a mountain climber, who got a dream where he opened up his hands while climbing. In reality he went mountain climbing and while he was getting to the top grabbing the rope, his hands opened and fell and
died.

Jung explains dreams are solutions to your problems, but you have to understand them well. Do read that book, if you haven't yet.

Best to you.

[cyberdaemon]

I barely see any dreams at all , and if i see they will be fuzzy and abstract :(

We all have 10 dreams at least, and ONLY remember the morning dream.
Sometimes we don't remember that either, but the fact that we forgot, doesn't mean we didn't have it.:D:)

[popeye11]

Hi chandrakavi, love your posts.

And sometimes we have Lucid Dreams and remember many more than the morning ones.

Popeye;)

[chandrakavi]

Hi Popeye!

When we remember a dream, a long one REALLY REALLY WELL,
it's because it has been repeated over and over , with the same subject
all through the night. So when we wake up, just as when there are times you thought you didn't dream(not so), this time there is no doubt what the dream was about.

Most surely that dream is a solution to one of your problems,(through symbols) and the unconciouss mind doesn't want you to forget it.....it has happened to all of us.:D:D

[popeye11]

I do believe what you are saying for the most part, but I have woken up in other dreams during the night that are, or appear to be totally unrelated.

[chandrakavi]

THESE REPEATED DREAMS happens only sometimes, exceptionally so,
and if you can remember unrelated dreams, you are lucky to have a very aware memory, that's the normal rule, different unrelated dreams.
If you can remember your dreams, it means you are in good shape Popeye11.!:):D

[razed1]

hey good posts all, good info there moon-poet ;)

yes dreaming is an amazing subject

if any sheep needs proof that there is something beyond the 5 sense level, just bring up the subject of dreaming and really what dreaming is

how can you go to endless places, see faces, experiences, while your physical body is lying in bed, seems impossible right

well not unless the observer, you soul, isnt limited to your body, but during you waking hours, it pretty much is limited to your body, only because you taken on that belief

couple of something interesting things id like to mention

about beleif

jordan maxwell in one of his talks was once talking about the power of belief, and he mentioned something like,

'when you wake up, and get off the bed, and you take feet off the bed, no one EVER questions whether the floor is going to be there...'

he adds 'why, why would you assume the floors going to be there"

we all come out of sleeping, who knows what things could have transpired during our sleep, but that unquestioning faith is always, there that the floors gonna be there, it might sound like a silly example, but really think about the power of your beliefs over your experienced reality



also, form the movie "La Bamba" (one of my favourites)

the shaman says to Richie V. , he says

'to live is to dream, to die is to wake up'

Great Post friend!

Well in the east, Masters talk about our seven spiritual BODIES, besides the physical one, as you know.

I suppose we are in our ASTRAL BODY when we are in our dreams, anf truly GO places, as you say.

The words ABOVE GROUND, and UNDERGROUND, are very significant, while above ground you are feeling you are alive, if underground your physical body is buried, naturally not with your soul; peoplee tend to falsely believe that.

I once heard a poet say about the power of language,
the ground is hard because I SAY so,
and the sky is BLUE because I say it is....
It is something like SELF-HYPNOSIS
it is so, because we believe it is so.

During the day we live in the "world of logic", we have constructed,
and at night time we are true to ourselves, do not lie in our dreams,
somethjing we truly need, or else we would go insane,
I mean there is nothing more insane than this society,
dreams are our escape valves to freedom, until we come back to the world of logic again.

"...no one ever questions if the floor is going to be there again...."
greaat phrase, no one is living in a false reality, everything is true, it is like a child's play, picking up beautiful stones along the beach and enjoying life,
everything is beautiful, dreams and life are a beautiful reality until you wake up and go back to sleep and back to the beach picking up besutiful stones again....it's your own beautiful and private zone in which you feel secure.

" From other things you will never extract the unity of oneness, unless you have achieved oneness in yourself":):D

I sometimes wonder though if we somehow got put in a universal insane asylum. :D:eek:

Have no doubts we are in a universal insane asylum.

You ought to see a movie called KING OF HEARTS, that shows how much happier the insane live than people in "society". Do see it.

Okay, new post for 2009.
I can't really remember my dreams. But from what I can recall, I used to have the very occasional nightmare.
Now my dreams jut seem like real life, boring, but still slightly out of the ordinary.
I don't think I've had a nightmare this year.
