Well... I'm going crazy.

I just wanted to post this, maybe get some insight from you guys, 'cause this is starting to worry the hell out of me.
Now I know when you're asleep and dreaming your grip on reality can be somewhat scewed, but to what degree? The reason I'm asking is this:

Ever since I was a kid, I would have these night terrors where I'd be screaming bloody murder in my sleep so loud that I often had my parents running downstairs thinking something happened. one night (when I was 18, I'm 20 now) I actually dreamt I was fighting someone and was yelling really loud and kicked my steryo system right off my wall, destroying it. my mom rushed downstairs and said she thought I was fighting someone that broke into the house.

now, it gets worse. In the past few months I've been actually waking up at 4:00 in the morning (or so) and mixing up dreams with reality. probably about 4 nights a week I've been waking up thinking somebody's in my room, sometimes even seeing them because my brain mixes up what I'm dreaming and what I'm seeing. so of course, I'd yell like hell and scramble to get my lights on, to find nobody.

Then, in the past couple weeks when I wake up in the middle of the night, even though the lights are off, I've been thinking one of 2 things. either I see a GIANT spider on in my room (I'm terrified of spiders,), like ones big enough to eat a rat, or a person in my room. as usual, turn on the light, all's well. But, in the past couple weeks I've also been thinking I'm in a totally different and unfamiliar room, though it's the same room every time.

Last night, however, really topped my list and made me worry. at about 5:00 this morning I woke up sure that somebody was in my room. So I turned on my light, but that didn't get rid of them! I never actually saw the person, but mixing up dreams with reality, I didn't have to, I just percieved him as being right there in front of me even though I didn't see a thing. I knew this guy was a threat, so I jumped on him, wrapped my quilt around him, and spent about 5 minutes beating the living shit out of the intruder wrapped in my blanket, and that's all I remember. when I woke up the next morning I was sleeping under a different blanket and there was a pillow beside my bed wrapped up in my quilt, obviously the "intruder". so unless a pillow broke into my house to kill me, this is kinda worrysome.

what do you think?

I interpret this as your subconscious desire to let out the demon within. You want to beat the shit out of some guy.

Cure: go beat the shit out of some guy.

whaaat the fuck mate
that sounds pretty grim, if its only started a few months ago are u sure its nothing to do with smoking, weed does fuck with dreams in weird ways for me, especially if u cut back smoking or something, u start getting wild dreams aswell.
but anyway i dont get anything like that good luck with it

Know any psychiatrists?
That's really weird that, that you beat the shit out of a wrapped up pillow in your sleep, sleep fighting maybe?
There doesn't seem to be anything you can do.. it sounds really weird and would freak me the fuck out to the point of getting rid of all guns and knives in the house in case like i woke up when my mum came in and i did her some damage lol

actually xnoa, that was the first night I hadn't smoked in 3 weeks, so thanks for pointing that out.

Tokoson, I don't think you're correct though, because I've been thinking there's an intruder in my room in the middle of the night for quite a while now, and this is the first time I actually took action, because it's the first time I actually thought I had to fight for my life. I did just watch the movie "saw" last night though, and.... wait *SPOILER WARNING*












and remember the end part where he beats the living shit out of the badguy with a big chunk of concrete, so I guess that could have influenced it. btw, that was a pretty awsome movie in my opinion, and this coming from a guy who thinks 99% of horror movies suck :D

He hit him with the lid off the cistern of the toilet:D

But yeah i get where you're coming from:D

Well, for one, I had these dreams that this killer was after me and I was hiding behind a door, but the door wasn't really filled, it was like 3/4 of a door so it never would close, so I'd try to barracade, and that's where the dreams end.

Now that I've moved houses, I have an open kitchen door that can be 3/4 blocked by my stairwell door, and it looks exactly like the one in my dream.

Now I get creeped out everytime I come near the kitchen at night, cause my dad leaves the porch door open all night for my cats...

Damn that's weird, i'd rip the door off it's hinges! lol

Still dreamin' about it?

maui, that's a major safety hazard, man. to prevent this situation from ever happening, close that door! forget the cats, they want to be outside, then they can stay out there.

that's strange, mr. devious. perhaps you never woke up? but how would you explain the violated pillow? if your having some kind of paranoia of intruders, then i suggest you take the necessary precautions to prevent this from being actual reality. i'll look for you in my dreams tonight.
