My eyes have recently been dry in the mornings. Husband says I sleep with my eyes open. His eyes have been dry too, so what does that say? I’d love to see an aerial view of us watching sleeping.
If I were a monster, I’d probably be scared.
Ever have a recurring nightmare or dream?
I wonder what the trigger is to having the same dream over & over again.
I’ve been having this one for years. I wonder what it means.
The time is semi-apocalyptic.
The place…a small cabin. Or, my parent’s living room.
The sun is going down. And every one is trying to find a place to hide.
All the good spots get taken quickly.
Very soon, everyone is tucked away. Safe.
Except me.Time is running out. And I’m left with a closet with no door. And a bed that looks too low to crawl under. Either that, or the space is already fully occupied with a few terrified individuals. I kneel to check & its the latter. Their mouths are silent, but their eyeballs look up at me. They seem to say:
“Hide!”
“Quick!!”
“You better go some place else!”
“They’re coming!!!!”
“You’re dead.”Sweat pierces my armpit pores. My heart is beating so quickly. So loudly.
The room grows dimmer.
My eyes scan the place once more, for good cover.
There’s nothing.
I take to the closet’s corner. Trying to conceal what I can of my body behind a few hanging coats.
I know it’s a poor place to hide, but it’s something.They’re coming any second now!!! I can feel it.
The room goes dark.
My eyes close tightly upon tears & fear. I pray to see morning.
Then, I wake up.
I will add that I’ve dreamt the next moment of this dream, but a couple of times. They come into the room. But, I can’t really describe what they are. It’s dark. All I know is that they are big killers.
Wow. That seems intense. My heart was pounding while reading it…. I have recurring nightmares every now and then. When I was younger, I had a similar one to yours. It was a Western setting, and everyone was hiding because “they” were coming to kill us. I couldn’t find a place to hide, and when ever the guy with the gun had me cornered, I’d force myself to wake up…. I have a different recurring nightmare these days. But whenever I have a nightmare, it’s because I went to bed without praying. So, I always force myself to wake up, calm down and say a little prayer.
What do you do to resolve your nightmares, Marie?
“I’d force myself to wake up” Tell me, how do You do that!?! LOL
My DH does the opposite. He forces himself back to sleep & somehow back into his dream. When someone/something is getting the better of him, & he wakes up before getting the upper-hand or delivering comeuppance. It’s so funny! I asked him how he does that…I mean, WHO DOES THAT?! LOL
I guess it’s possible to be conscious when you’re unconscious…
I don’t really resolve my nightmares. When I wake up from them, I usually go back to sleep pretty quickly. If the dream is really bad, I force myself to stay awake for a few minutes. So I don’t accidentally fall back into it.
That dream scares me! I have one kind of like that but it’s a different theme. I’m looking out the window and I see something violent happen and the people who did it saw me watching so they come for me. I’m either in the house I grew up in or some random building/school but I run all over the place and hid to avoid being caught and killed. So I’m sneaking around and almost out of the house/building and someone sees me a chases me down and kills me. I’ve had that dream for years, like 20 or more, and I have it at least once a month.
WOW Julie! See, I’m really curious as to how & why this happens. Recurring dreams. They have to mean something, no?!
