I'm a 19 year old college student...For
years I have had extremely disturbing,
bloody, vivid, and terrifying nightmares.
There is no basis for this...I hardly
ever watch scary movies, I have never been
exposed to such horrors, and I don't gorge
on food late at night. What could cause
these? Sometimes I wonder if there's
something wrong with my brain...Or do
other people have such disturbing dreams
as well?

I'm 23 and married. I am a severe
sleepwalker. Do you ever walk around or
act out your dreams?
Sometimes my dreams are very very
frightening! You should talk to your
doctor if they continue, maybe he/she
could give you something to relax.
Hope that helps some :d

I have found that disturbing dreams are
usually a result of some internal fear
that you have not yet realized. Before
going to bed - think of only positive
things - think of something that would
reinforce the idea that the dreams you
might have or just that - dreams that you
can overcome.
Because in your dreams - you are the
creator.

I don't know if you believe in
reincarnation, but I recently read a book
on dreams whose author does. She
researched her book by inviting anyone
with access to her website, address, etc.
To send her examples of their dreams,
along with any questions they had. The
type of dream you describe could be
remnants of a past life in which you
experienced traumatic events (either as a
bystander or as a participant) and are now
reliving them while asleep (especially
interesting since you have not had
exposure to the types of images about
which you dream).
I'm sure if you sought the help of a
doctor who is also a certified hypnotist,
he or she could help either make the
dreams end or at least relieve the stress
caused by the dreams, whatever their
cause. In the meantime, if you can try to
become aware that you are dreaming while
you are in the middle of the dream (lucid
dreaming), you will have the opportunity
to confront the "players" in the dream;
demand that they identify themselves, ask
them what they want. This worked for me
when I was young, and the horrible images
melted away, the whole tone of my
nightmare changed from dark, scary, and
dangerous to bright, sunny, and happy, and
my "attacker" changed right before my eyes
to a friendly entity. I was never
troubled by those dreams again. That
doesn't mean that I never have negative
dreams, just not those horrible, recurring
ones.
Think about it this way: if our dreams
are the chemical/electrical productions of
our brains, then we are ultimately in
control of them, and we choose whether or
not to recognize that power and use it on
our dream images, to work within our
dreams and learn about ourselves. :d

disturbing dreams Posted: 04-19-08 23:39pm
I used to have very disturbing dreams (
bloody, scary, and weird ) Then I went for
a sleep test and was diagnosed with sleep
apnea. The sleep technician told me a
person needs a certain amount of REM
sleep, ands when your "tank" is low; you
have disturbing dreams. I am now on the
CPAP machine and having very pleasant
dreams.
