News of Nightmare Disorder Forum

I'm sick of going to sleep and having nightmares. I can't seem to wake myself out of them either. I fear going to bed every night. Most of the time, I don't even know what they mean.

Hi there,

I have been having nightmares, sleep terrors , paralysis and episodes of sleep walking. The former are all pretty horrific but the sleep walking can be amusing ( for others , I still find it frightening)

I want to preface my story with the thought that I’ve always felt like I have had some sort of dream/nightmare disorder due to the fact that I dreamt/had nightmares often and would easily remember my dreams (I can vividly remember dreams of mine from over 20 years ago). My brother and I would even have the same dream/nightmare on the same night sometimes and something about my dreams and nightmares has always made me ...

I have regular nightmares where I know I'm asleep but can't wake up, the things in the nightmares are unbelievably disturbing and when I eventually wake, my heart is racing and I'm confused and can't think properly. I sometimes see things and if I fall asleep again the nightmares continue so normally I have to call someone or get up and do something until the confused fear ends.

Anyway, the most recent one was last ...

I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this when having nightmares. I dreamt I was in a dark room on a bed and there were 2 shadow figures, one was an adult and the other was a child sitting on the floor. They were both facing away from me and standing stillstaring at a old fashion tv with nothing beside loud black and white scribbles as if no antenna. The tv was the only ...
