I'm having nightmares! please help me~?

Question

Last night i had the almost same dream again. I used to dream about me running and hiding from someone/monsters. It was horrible, often i wake in shock. The most tricky part is i always hide behind a door to prevent the intruder/s. I tried my best to close the door(my room's door) and lock it for so long but everytime i failed and it comes in. Is this something related to my previous situation i had where i tried to block a guy from entering a room to hit his girlfriend and end up i was injured too? or it was just a dream that i am hiding my feeling and emotion from something?

Answer 1

It is an anxiety dream. My standard post follows, but learn to identify, and confront your fears: a fear confronted is a fear reduced, but a fear avoided is a fear strengthened. If you don't know what they are, write down 3 times, before going to sleep: "Tonight, in my dreams, I want to remember seeing what my fear is, when I get up", and put it under your pillow. Then say it aloud 3 times, after lights out. It is important to summon as much desire as you are capable of, to more effectively communicate this to your subconscious mind. If this works, it should produce a response within 2 weeks; if not, you may not be remembering, so set an alarm to go off after, first, 3 hrs; next night 4; next night 5: have a pen & paper handy, and WRITE DOWN THOSE DREAMS!!! or, chances are, you will forget. Remember, the response may be metaphorical (figurative), rather than literal.                          

                       There is a section on dream interpretation, here in Y!A, and view section 3 on dream interpretation, at ezy build (feel free to email me by clicking on my profile, but I am a lot better with interpreting dreams of males, than females) if you have any difficulty, but the idea is to, immediately after waking & writing down, question the characters inhabiting that dream, and note any thoughts, images, impressions, or emotions which result. Then use the confrontation method, in section 3, on recurring nightmares, at ezy-build. Take up a course in Tae Kwon Do, Kung Fu, or Tang Soo Do, etc., as much for the mental techniques you will learn, as the ability to face physical fear, which may well have a carry over effect in the dream state, at night, influencing your subconscious mind, and enabling you to tackle them head on (Some people can defeat them: it can help to call on friends, or others: "dream allies" to come to your assistance. In dreams, heroes, superheroes, characters/beings from fiction, or people who are alive, or long dead, are available to be selected to help you. I am still unable to summon them, as yet, but I realise that all those figures are part of me: one thing you can do is just keep fighting: persevere, and resist). I also suggest that you try the technique of dream re-entry, and, just after lights out, visualise yourself, as vividly as possible, confronting your attacker: demanding to know why you are being attacked, and demonstrating that you are prepared to defend yourself, if they don't go away and stop bothering you. It is important to want this with as much desire as you can muster, to better convey the message to your subconscious mind. Include this on the piece of paper you put under your pillow. Many people report reduced anxiety levels, after taking up yoga, and t'ai chi probably has similar benefits. More on these in the first 3 pages of section 2 at http://www.ezy-build.net.nz/~shaneris

HA!!U sound funny!!

I'll give ya 10 tips 2 prevent deze type of nightmares!!Follow dem!!

1. Prepare for bedtime- It is important that you help your body and mind prepare for bedtime. You want to relax and get in the mood for sleeping soundly. You can do this by reading, drinking herbal tea, meditating or praying or taking a hot bath. Anything that is soothing to you can help you prepare.

2. Avoid watching news, scary movies and other graphic violence or reading graphic books before bed.

3. Clear your mind from problems and worries. One way to do this if you can't get worries off your mind is to make a list and resolve to look at it in the morning.

4. Avoid eating anything heavy, fattening or greasy right before bed.

5. Have a light snack or a glass of milk before bed. This can help calm you.

6. Don't take any drugs that are not prescribed by your doctor and essential to your health.

7. Avoid smoking and caffeine before bed. Nicotine is often linked to sleep disorders and insomnia or bad dreams.

8. Avoid caffeine before bed, preferably for a few hours before you plan to go to sleep.

9. Have a friend or family member that you can talk to about your fears or anxieties. Many nightmares are caused by trauma or stress.

Answer 4

In your dream you were chasing by a monster. That means you have much work pressure. The work is quite heavy for you.

You tried to block a guy from entering a room to hit his gf ...

there are something hiding inside your heart ... you have a girl who you love and you daren't tell her ... or maybe you are afraid you will be hurt ....

Answer 5

The situation that happened before in real life probably shocked you so much and you kept thinking of it so you had a dream. Dont worry  this happens to me  a lot. Just try not to think about the situation.

I hope that I helped

Answer 6

***Running***

To dream that you are running away from someone, indicates an issue that you are trying to avoid. You are not taking or accepting responsibility for your actions. In particular, if you are running from an attacker or any danger, then it suggests that you are not facing and confronting your fears.

To dream that you are trying to run but cannot make your feet move as fast as you want them to, signifies lack of self-esteem and self-confidence. It may also reflect your actual state of REM paralysis while in the dream state.

To dream that you are running alone, signifies that you will advance to a higher position and surpass your friends in the race for wealth. Alternatively, you may be running from some situation or from temptation.

----

***Hiding***

To dream that you are hiding, suggests that you are keeping some secret or withholding some information. You may not be facing up to a situation or not want to deal with an issue. However, you may be getting ready to reveal and confess before somebody finds out.

To dream that you or somebody else is hiding, indicates a need for security and protection. In particular, to dream that you are hiding from some authority figure (police, parents, teacher...), implies feelings of guilt.

----

***Monster***

To dream that you are followed by a monster, signifies that grief and misfortune are in your immediate future. Monsters represent parts of yourself that you find brutish and ugly. You may possess some fears or some repressed emotions.

Answer 7

it could definitely be from your previous experience AND that your hiding your emotions because that experience is still effecting you. maybe u dont think it is, but unconsciously you havent totally gotten over it

Answer 8

everybody dreams about being chased by monsters.  Your just scared of the world is all.  Maybe blocking that real room from some creep is the model your brain uses when it get wierd at night.  Write down some funnny story where the monster is really porky pig or someting.

Answer 9

Maybe your avoiding a situation or problem and need to resolve it. If not then it's because of that situation you were in.
