Nightmares

[AJ_007]

Morning All,

Got back from Turkey last night - Hol was ace

Just wondering if anyone know's anything bout Nightmares as I seem to get them all the time

Some of them are fooking scary - honestly

I know you should be able to wake yourself up from them but lately I can't. In the Nightmare it feels like I have woken up from It, then only to find out that i'm still in it. Which makes them even worse coz your not expecting to see whatever is in the particular Nightmare.

Its breaking up my nice sleep to - this is why i'm typing at 6:45am on my day off

I know about not eating cheese but it doesn't make a blind bit of difference!

Any help much welcomed

Cheers

AJ

I get them badly after being on the piss for a couple of nights. I know exactly what you mean, when you think you've woken up, and really believe you have but then something offkey starts happening and you realise you're still dreaming, and this can go on & on a few times. It's awful when you know you're dreaming and you are desperately trying to rouse yourself but you can't.....it feels like you are really stoned, and so high that you have no control what so ever. I'm no expert but I think it could be some form of come down/DT's (delirium tremors).

I used to suffer from insomnia a few years ago, and it becomes a bad habit. My GP advised me on a few things that really help to get a better nights sleep.

(1) Have a hot shower or bath just before you go to bed

(2) Have a warm milk drink, hot chocolate, Horlicks or Ovaltine. NOT tea or coffee.

(3) Do not watch t.v. or sit in front of the p.c. before you go to bed, read a book or magazine for 10 minutes.

Try these tips, hope they help.

Yup, Roachs tips are pretty good mate but if this is a long term situation, you can try a few things to help you gain control of your "dreaming world" if you like. I spent quite a few years studying lucid dreaming and Astral Projection (another time maybe) and in fact still do, and some of the techniques / tips I learned really help you to take control of your dreams, and provide a great nights sleep - with some more entertaining nightly thoughts Long post coming up lol...

Firstly, all the time during your waking life, whenever you think about, question yourself. For example, if you're sat at work, just simply think "am I dreaming?" and either touch something solid around you (like a wall etc) or look at your watch / hands. Try and do this as often as you can, so it becomes a subconscious act, like you may find yourself doing it every 30 seconds or so. What this does is give you the power to try and become conscious when asleep, or dreaming. If you train yourself to continually question whether you're asleep or awake, you'll find that in your dreaming world you do it too. Looking at your hands is one of the quickest ways to become conscious of your dream, or to even wake you up, as you'll find it's normally EXTREMELY hard to picture your hands in your dream, or a watch ticking on your wrist etc. Once you get into this mode, and you check yourself when you are actually dreaming, you can either change the dream (by just thinking other things, or whatever is causing the nightmare, you can alter) or you'll find you immediately wake up as you become conscious of the dream. Once you have done this quite a few times, and become familiar with it, you should find that you are able to wake your mind up in any kind of dream and control it, therefore letting out all the naked ladies so you can have a jolly good mucky dream romp

Also, one nifty technique I learned to stay in a dream, is to spin yourself - like a little kid. Once you become conscious in a dream, more often than not as your brain waves change you'll start to feel yourself wake up. When this happens (that kind of sliding feeling as you regain consciousness) if you remember to spin around on the spot, you'll feel yourself get "sucked" back into the dream. Everything will become more vivid again and you'll be able to remain in the dreaming state while still being conscious and able to control your dreams as you wish. Takes time to develop it, but it's fucking loads of fun when you've got it lol.

The other technique which also helps with some of the above, is to keep a dream journal. Whenever you have a nightmare / whatever - even normal dreams, as soon as you wake up - write EVERYTHING down in as much detail as possible. Even if you have 2 or 3 dreams a night, write them all down as soon as you wake up from each one. What you are doing is training your mind to analyse your dreaming and waking world. It also gives you a chance to see if there are any patterns emerging within the dreams which could cause the nightmares, and if you keep a diary of also maybe things you've eaten and write them down before you go to sleep you might find a connection between something you eat / do during that day which could trigger nightmares.

Nightmares can be a real fucker if they get out of hand, so it's worth trying some of these things mate and see how you get on. Actually, even for people not having nightmares, it's good to play around with, as being in control of your dreams is something which is absolutely brilliant lol.

If you need any more help / advise or whatever or more info mate, just ask and I'll give you as much as I can. Hope you sleep easier

Cheers Roach, Crags,

I know when I wake up you can remember a lot more about them then say 5 hours into the day so will try and write them down when I wake up

Will let you know how it goes

Cheers

I suppose just the usual most people worry about money, chicks, life in general

Next time I have one will write as much stuff down about it ( people, places, things!!!) see if anybody can pick bits out that might relate to stuff

[Crags]

How's it going then AJ - any more to report, have ya written any down?

[CzarJunkie]

I have a recurring nightmare where I'm in room full of plates and other assorted crockery that have a laughing chimps head glazed onto them. In the room with me is Terry Nutkins and his seal, Gemma. We walk around the room and then Terry Nutkins starts to cry and then goes fukin bananas, knocking over the crockery and shouting, 'Johnny Morris touched my otters'.

Then Gemma, the sealion waddles over to me with a plate spinning on her nose, she twats the plate with her flipper and it flys towards the wall and looks like its going to smash. I duck because I don't want to be covered in bits of porcelain but the plate sticks to the wall like a plaque. The plate, instead of featuring a chimps head, now has my head on it and I'm wearing Johnny Morris's Zoo Keeper hat and doing what looks like a camel impression.

This is when I wake up with a start, covered in sweat and I can always smell fish.

[AJ_007]

I sleepwalked nude in a B and B a couple of weeks ago when I went to Filey. Waking up, thinking you had a nightmare, then realised it was all true isn't good.............

I sleepwalked nude in a B and B a couple of weeks ago when I went to Filey. Waking up, thinking you had a nightmare, then realised it was all true isn't good.............

The first time I encountered sleep walking, was when I still lived with my parents.

My room was a sort of loft conversion box room with a walk-in eave wardrobe. Anyway one night I awoke, and across the room in the dark I could make out a shadowy figure in the wardrobe. This was way before my laser eye surgery, so I grabbed my glasses and flicked on the bedside lamp. To my disgust my girlfriend (at the time) was stark naked, facing me, half squatting and propping herself up with one arm against the wall behind her. From between her legs was gushing a steaming, jet of bright yellow piss that would have put a racehorse to shame. "what the fuck are you doing?!!" I cried (not realising you aren't meant to wake sleepwalkers/sleep pissers?)

She immediately woke up, saw what she was doing burst into tears and ran out of the room and downstairs(presumably to finish what she'd started, in the bog like any sane person). To further my horror, there was a portable electric heater in the cupboard, put away for the summer, and the filthy sow had pissed all over it.

She had apparently sleepwalked before but never pissed in a cupboard (I didn't feel privileged) and we broke up not long after.

lol nice story. Basically mine is this. I went to the seaside with the bird, but was feeling ill. Anyway I stayed in bed all day ill. Only there one night so at 7pm I thought fcuk it, got out of bed and went out on the piss with the bird. Got in at 12, quite pissed. Around about 2-4am I am bursting for a piss, get out of bed and start walking to the en suite toilets, then just suddenly I'm out of the room and near the stairs to other rooms and the reception. This is when I start thinking I'm dreaming. Anyway cos I didn't know my way round the place (it was like a fecking maze, so many stairs and rooms) I got lost and the dream made me think I was in student accomodation visiting my mates. Start walking down the stairs and find myself in reception area (still thinking I'm in student accom). Look in a window reflection to find myself fully naked, then I suddenly remember looking outside and seeing the beachfront lights and a phone number on the wall for an advert (I specifically remember it was an 07973 number). Still bursting for a piss to the point I actually had a piss somewhere in reception, I then hear noises and do a runner up the stairs. All I remember after that is looking for my room despite me thinking am in student accom (no idea what my room number was). I then find a door open and assume its my room, get into bed and the rest is history. I woke up in the morning, told my bird about my 'dream'. Sent me bird downstairs to check any ads/notices on the wall and guess what - there was an ad with the number on. I was also fully naked in bed :censored The more I thought about the dream, the more I was certain it actually happened. Needless to say, I did not stay there for breakfast. We were straight out of the place at the checkout time of 10am! :nono Feel snotty's shame The weird thing is that I *think* I was wondering round the B and B for quite a long time in the nude, and somebody surely must have seen me :cartman Won't be going back there then
