Hi
wondering if anyone has the same problem.
Looking for a solution, i'm finding these
incidents to be quite frightening and
stressful
i have had a reoccurring problem, where I
awake from a sleep and see spiders
crawling around in my room. There are
quite large and abnormal looking. I will
jump from my bed, grab the cover to
protect myself and start freaking out.
It will take me a couple of min, usually
after i've left the bedroom to realize
that it was a dream (or whatever). But
i'm pretty shaken up after, heart rate
racing etc. And usually will not be able
to get back to sleep. These incidents
are unpredictable. Happening when i'm
alone, with my partner, in the dark and
most recently with a light on.
They happen once every month or 2.
Am I crazy? I talk and move around a lot
in my sleep. I have also had a couple of
sleepwalking episodes in my adult life
(which are totally different, not scary)
i'm not really that scared by spiders in
real life (i owned a scorpion as a pet) ,
so I don't get it.
Any suggestions, or people with a similar
problem please respond.
Thanks

Just kinda freaks me out to read it
because I flashed back to when I was a
child. I had the same thing.

The other odd thing is that this is a
recent problem. Its only been happening
for the past 8 months or so. I remember
a couple of times when I was a kid i'd see
freaky things in my bed (dead bird, burnt
body)
but the spiders is the only one that
reoccurs, and more frequently than
anything else.

What happened in your life 8 months ago?
Strange that as a child what you saw was
dead and now what you see is very alive.

I've never seen anyone else who has this
happen! I can remember this sort of
thing happen to me since childhood (i'm 35
now). It does worsen when stressed, but
that's not the only time it happens.
I often 'see' spiders on the ceiling.
They are very large, ugly, black, hairy,
unnatural things. They are always right
over my head, ready to fall on me. I
freak out and yank the covers up over my
head, in sheer terror, and stay that way
for several minutes until I realize it's
not real and slowly come back out of the
covers. It's not always spiders.
Sometimes its other odd things that aren't
scary at all (a garden gnome once
:shock:), but they always terrify me.

Ive been having the same thing for a few
years now (im 16) except I see people
coming out of my walls...Like my walls are
made of rubber and they're trying to reach
through and grab me. I just stay
perfectly still in my bed till the sun
comes up...Then they go away. They're
becoming less frequent though now that im
trying to take steps to relax.
