nightmares

[SomeDude]

does anyone know a good way to deal with recurring nightmares?

I keep having the same dreams, and it's getting to be every night. I dream that I'm stabbing myself in the stomach, and sometimes slashing across it, and then I lay there and bleed to death in the dream. I also keep dreaming that I'm laying in bed and I wake up to several people holding me down and eating me alive, or that I hear something at the window and there is someone outside that breaks in and grabs me trying to pull me out(once it was a michael jackson impersonator), or that I'm drowning, or falling through panes of glass. The worst part is that I can't wake up until I've died in the dream, and sometimes I go through several of them before waking up, and when I do wake up, for a few seconds I can feel myself covered in blood or a knife in my stomach, or whatever. I have to keep a trash can next to my bed to throw up in, cuz the stabbing dream always makes me vomit when I wake up.

I can't keep drinking before bed, so if anyone can help I would really appreciate it.

FUCK! That sounds like some scary shit! I think somebody deserves a hug for the pain..
never known of anyone throwing up after a dream like that.. come to think of it, i've never heard of such realistic and strange dreams/nightmares, and sorry i don't know any ways for this to stop... you could stay awake forever? or if not, erm.. watch something funny, or some kind of comedy films before you go to sleep and see if that helps.. that's what i would do
Get well soon and watch comedies... Josh

I had a nightmare last night, my mum was hassling me for weed...
But it sounds like you have might have to get that checked, thats some pretty disturbing dreams you're getting. Do the dreams occur in any sort of pattern, just randomly or every night.

Im sorry to hear what your going through somedude however,
Theres actually quite a few herbs and teas you can get for NICER and more positive dreams. Any good herb shop should have em. I had really bad dreams kinda similar AND i used to throw up after. So at least youre not alone. I suffered anxiety and depression for a long time and had really bad nightmares. I would vomit from the anxiety when i woke up and then couldnt get back to sleep. I used marijuana for the nausea and for the bad dreams. It didnt always work perfectly but it did REALLY help.
I think you probably should tell a doctor about it tho, just in case He'd probably refer you to some sort of psychiatrist or something. But i'd save that as a last resort, if it gets worst of persists.
Anywho, im fine now and it's largely thanks to MARIJUANA

Good luck!!!

I like Nightmares. But that sounds like it sucks if you don't like nightmares. Specialy the puking part.

Try to find ways to control your dreams, for an example, you find yourself falling through pains of glass, make your self fly up and away from the glass. If you find that you have a knife in your hand in your dream, turn it into a blunt object, like a smoking pipe or something, that sounds like some disturbing lusid dreaming. Other than that man, I don't know. Sorry about the disturbing dreams.

If that were Happening to me I'd Be going to My doctor and do somthing about dealing with the issues in your subconcious mind.
thats some freaky shit right there...
are you into horror movies or Gore.?.
If you are then.
It might pay to feed your mind with some Less heavy reading/veiwing mateiral

I love my sleep so I can imagine not looking forward to falling asleep.

Good luck with that Man.....

PS.
Hey Stoner spirit How you Going Mate.

hatlawer, what herbs and teas would you recommend?

I can't afford a doctor, even with my insurance, and especially not a specialist. They would probably just dope me up anyway. I've been meditating a lot and focusing on some lucid dreaming techniques, but that only helps marginally. I could smoke the good herb before bed, and I know that helps, but I don't really have the money to smoke everyday.

Thanks for the help

Some Dude-
Please take my message as a final warning to the health and well-being of your mental state.
Get off the pot.
Being the concerned fool that I was, I proceeded to do some extensive research on psychotic disorders.
I am 99% sure, according to the symptoms of your dreams, that you have a certain degree of "Night Terrors". It is a sleeping disorder characterized by a blood curdling scream, sweating, confusion, and VOMITING. Night terrors usually occur 1 to 2 hours after you go to sleep, around stage 4 (deep sleep)of your REM sleep. Night terrors can be an underlying symptom of Schizophrenia. Do you know that Marijuana accelerates all underlying symptoms of Schizophrenia to full blown?
DO you know that Marijuana promotes and accelerates emotional disorders in people having pre-existing symptoms of Schizophrenia, in your case night terrors? DO you understand that if you continue to smoke, you are magnifying all pre-existing psychotic symptoms?
A psychologic evaluation is necessary. As for now, please stop smoking, for the preservation of your mental well-being. Cease all drinking also.
Thought I should just warn you...
good luck
