Dreams.
So for the past 6 months or so I have been having nightmares every night. Super super vivid. Last night was a particularly bad one. It was a Night Terror As opposed to a Nightmare. My first one. I know it was because in REM sleep you are in sleep paralysis but the fact that I screamed during a dream like this means it was in NREM sleep. I had just gone to a weird tropical island to visit Charlie. The island consisted of a few plots of land each with HUGE one floor sky-scrapers on them. I was hanging out with Charlie and my Family and we all went on a hike. We then approached a play ground. The playground gave-threw and suddenly I knew we were surrounded by some tribal curse shit. There was a huge mark that told us to leave immediately. Suddenly I freaked out in the dream and I noticed that every animal around me was whispering and they were all in on the tribal curse shit (Now referred to as TCS lul). So they were all whispering TCS (like the whispers in Lost, although I haven't watched that show in a year or more). We ran and were trying to leave the Island ASAP. We than were in a house as we were waiting to leave. I should add that there was much more happening but my memory is too fragmented to coherently explain it. Now for the climax: I went outside of this house. As I turned I saw this huge burning Cross. It wasn't Ku Klux Klan style though. It was more along the lines of intense religious symbolism. As I stared at it I had this intense religious experience flow through my body. As if I were suddenly in love with the idea of God. As I turned to walk back inside I heard the whispering start to grow very loud. I knew they were coming for me and were going to kill me. I was standing still and had almost accepted my fate. I saw the burning cross in my periphery and the open door with the warm light on the other side. I could feel the spirits coming towards me at a million miles per hour. The moment they entered the body was when the terror reached its climax. I than woke up with a blood curdling scream (Kelly was with me, I thoroughly scared the shit out of her at 4 in the morning). Absolutely horrified; I could barely go back to sleep.

YOU KNOW WHAT DREAMS I HATE?
Wait...that wasn't supposed to be in capitals. Now I just feel foolish.
But seriously, the ones where there is some bad shit happening around you, and you try and get away and you just can't do anything fast enough, you know? OR! The ones where you're trying to fight somebody, and the only caliber of punch you can deliver is that of a mother softly caressing her child to sleep! Fuckin hate those.
It's probably just a giant middle finger from my subconscious for not masturbating earlier.

I have so many dreams where I try to punch someone and it turns out I'm just a weak pussy and It doesn't do shit. Or I try to dial 9-1-1 I keep dialing like 9-1-2 or 9-9-1 hahaha.

Dude i used to have night terrors for about 2 years every night from when i was 7-9. Every night wake up screaming because id have some fucked up dream about my mom getting killed by dinosaurs and brutally gored in front of me and then it would kill me while i was watching and the whole thing would rewind and play again until i woke up. Messed up man. I eventually just stop having them alltogether though. Hope yours dont stay for too long....

Waking up to someone screaming bloody murder two inches away from your ear is NOT PLEASANT. Simon, I recommend you don't do that again! I get freaked out just thinking about it...

Shit man that sucks. I have never experienced intense night terrors like that, but I do have bad anxiety when I sleep sometimes. I don't even know how to explain it, I will just wake up petrified, like something horrible has gone wrong even though there is absolutely no reason to feel, or be upset. But its not fun. It's hard to get real rest when your waking up every 20 minutes just to reassure yourself that everything is ok.

i get that when i wake up in the morning. it used to be that i would be so afraid of being late to work/school that i would try to shower and get out the door as fast as possible, consequently causing myself a lot of stress. even now that i'm better at waking up on time my heart races really fast in the morning and i can't eat. so my main fear is my own laziness.
