Nightmare

[ms.peachy]

Last night, or really, early this morning, I had a nightmare. I don't usually have bad dreams, can't remember the last time I did really, and I've never had one like this. I can remember every detail now, but it was so awful I don't want to write it all out here as it seems too much like 'bringing it into being', if that makes sense. Suffice it to say, in this dream I witnessed the sudden accidental death of my daughter. It was just, like, a normal dream, you know, nothing bad going on or anything, I was dreaming that the three of us (mr.p, me, our girl) were out in a public place and then in an instant this horrible tragic thing happened. And I remember in the dream collapsing to the ground saying "this isn't happening, this isn't happening" and then there was a voice in my head that said "It's OK, you're dreaming, this isn't real, she's fine" and I opened my eyes (in real life now) and was wide awake. Freaked out as all fuck but awake, and of course the first thing I did was check on my daughter (who was, of course, sound asleep and just fine). But then I couldn't just go back to sleep, my heart was racing I fetl sick to my stomach and I could still see the whole scene in my mind. Still can now. Anyway it was 5:30 a.m. so I got up and had a cup of tea, watched some TV, etc. But now it's after midnight and I should really go to bed but like I said I can still see this awful thing in my mind so clearly, I don't know how I will be able to lay in bed and not think about it.

:(

It was so horrible. So horrible.

Did you check your ipod? Is that ok?

Sorry, I can only ever make jokes when something is horrible...

...but a couple of weeks ago I had a nightmare, I was on some meds that was fucking me up but I had to take them and dreamt some of the weirdest shit it woke me up at about 3am and I couldn't sleep, went out for a walk to calm down so I know what you mean (kinda - cus I don't have a daughter or are a parent or anything similar).

Nearly made a thread about it but didn't, I think because I didn't want to be reminded of it.

Yeah, nightmares as an adult are fucked up. But they ain't real although I do remember having to force myself awake cus it felt so.

ugh, those are the worst.

When my little brother was a newborn I had a dream that while at the store with my parents, I was holding him (which was common at the time anyhow because I liked to). I happened to see a man running in to the store, and for some reason he went straight to us and shot my baby brother while he was still in my arms. I could see his blood running and everything and I just held him close crying uncontrollably.

The plus side is that when the cops came, I took one of their guns and shot the asshole that killed my brother in the head.

Still, it was awful and I woke up sobbing and had to go check on my brother just to be sure he was okay.

It does however make you appreciate them a bit more, even when you didn't think that was possible because you already do. If that makes sense.

So I lay in bed reading last night until I just physically couldn't keep my eyes open anymore, which I reckon was around 1:30, then fell asleep and really slept pretty well and soundly until about 8. Would have liked to have slept longer but the kid was not having it, LOL. Feel a bit better today, the memory of the dream is not as vivid and although if I sit and deliberately try to recall the details I can but I am stopping myself doing that when I find my mind wanders to it as clearly no good can come of that!

Really hope that was a one-off, as it SUCKED donkey balls.

some dreams can get pretty ugly

i dreamt a motorcycle accident corpse/skeleton was lying under my bed, that dream followed me through my whole childhood

[gbsuey]

that must be hideous-thankfully i've never had anything like that about the kids. but i do a pretty good line in messed-up recurring nightmares!!


seeing my sister being beaten by my dad in the doorway of our bedroom(never happened in real life)but i hated him for it!
house being invaded by robots
being chased by kid i kind of knew(see scary stories thread)
seeing my dad sitting down by some cliffs by the sea but couldn't see his face. then i'd be in our kitchen,looking in the cupboards and find a jar with what looked like pasta spirals in. but they weren't pasta-anybody like to guess what they were?? my dads eyeballs-all twisted round:o
loads of post-9/11 planes crashing down on us nightmares
and i had one of the latest last night, it's a bit of a future-set one with total control by machines/people . kind of echoes of the war of the worlds movie that totally freaks me out-like the things that come snaking into your house.all these wouldn't be so bad if they happened once, but they would just keep on coming, have had the latest one a couple of times. wonder what they mean??

nice monday morning stuff:p

subconscience jealousy issues. Ty Webb PHD

I don't quite see how you came to that conclusion when my brother died in the dream and I was sobbing uncontrollably about it?

[Fern]

dreams like that suck, especially when they scare the shit out of you. I had a dream that I strangled my gf not too long ago. it's odd how you feel guilty afterwards. I pray to God that this doesnt come to reality for obvious reasons, and the other one which is that you'd probably wind up in a mental institution....

[Ty Webb]

just jokin', could have had repressed jealousy of newborn brother and it came up in gruesome murder dream?

No joke though, when i was a kid I dreamt that both of my dogs I had growing up died like a week before each of them died. It was pretty incredible. Hasn't happened since with people or anything on some twilight zone shit. I also haven't had any of my newer pets die though yet, so who knows.

What is the opposite of a nightmare? Like a really good dream. Nightpony?

edit: yahoo answers seems to think wet dream.

[TAL]

I never remember my dreams.

[Ty Webb]

opposite of nightmare would be nightstud? sounds like my stripper name.
