Sorry if there is already a topic like this, but I tried searching for one. So my question is do you ever have nightmares? I don’t and even when I was younger I didn’t really have them or they weren’t severe. What does this mean? Is it good or bad?
I used to have nightmares when I was younger. I haven’t had one in many many years, but one did try to reoccur a few weeks ago. I recognized that I had been there before, but I didn’t become lucid. It turned out that I was able to keep calm just because of the fact that I knew that place…unfortunantly, it was VERY scary the first time, when I was probably 7 or 8.
I think its a good thing to not have nightmares, I think it kinda means you’re not really worrying about stuff, or you’re not afraid of it at least.
I do miss my nightmares sometimes though, its easier to appreciate the good dreams when you have a bad one for comparison.
I can only remember having one nightmare in my entire life, There might be ones I’ve forgotten though. I dont think not having them is a bad thing though.
The nightmare I remember the most is a one about the Theater Faces. The laghing one and the crying one. They grew and ate me. 
I didn’t have any nightmares for a long time until last week. It was definetly not a pleasant experience. When I woke up, it felt like I was still in the dream, until I realized it was only a nightmare.
I’m sure I used to have em when i was younger. But now a dreamscare is not common, and not very bad either. There was a time when I wanted to have nightmares even.
The only nightmares that bestow me are when I awake to find out my dreams were… just dreams.
I have nightmares occasionally, but they’re not in the “childhood monster” category. My nightmares have more to do with the carnal aspects and deep-seated fears of humanity (i.e. torture, murder, [sexual] assualts; topics of the hopeful, yet helpless brand…). Though, I’m mostly an observer of these events; not necessarily a direct victim -.-
Personally - no nightmares for the last 10 or so years hehe.
Not sure what it means. I don’t have night mares either. The closest I ever got to a nightmare when I was young was a dream in which no matter how much school work I did I always was behind… or I couldn’t make myself do school work. Other than that I was mainly just watching what came with interest… the same as watching tv.
I used to have nightmares when I was a kid. Barely none on late years though.
But my brother, all hes dreams are nightmares.
When I was a child, I had nightmares every night.
I was afraid of everything in my house, the corridor, the garage, all the dark places.
And I don’t know if this exists, but it seems like I did those recurrents nightmares in which my soul ( or my dream body ) walked down the stairs ( to go to the garage ), and during this “trip”, I was aware that I was dreaming. It was like a lucid dream but this was a nightmare.
When I walked down the stairs, I could feel my heart which was bumping really hard.
This was a ritual that traumatized my childhood.
I had SP every night because of that.
All these experiences were triggered by a movie I watched when I was 4 or 5.
Even now, I rethink of this, and I’m afraid.
What movie was it? It sounds interesting.
E.T.
The funny thing is that this film is not scary for a lot of people, but it has traumatized me, I don’t know why.
My most recurrent nightmares are :
I’m in a room at my home and when I go to see my family, they all transformed into ET. All of them. And from this moment, my dream body moved very fast to go to the real body ==> I became aware ==> SP.
Oh boy, you must really have something against aliens.
havn’t had a good ol’ nightmare in a while.
Or i might have i just wasn’t scared by em
2 i can remember well that were bad (both with movies lol)
-
Freddy from Nightmare on Elm street comes after me in dream. This is probably the worst of them all, for obvious reasons.
-
jeepers Creepers dream where i heard a song that they were told ment the bad guy was near when i woke up in the middle of the night. Or at least i thought i did…
My childhood was only nightmares due to horrible childhood . And my final childhood nightmare I became lucid. A vampire always use to chase me thru same haunted house - same d*mn floor layout. Was one of those you cant seem to run proper speed, hallways seem overly long. Anyhow became lucid when I realised I can never get away from him - vampire always a few feet away so the hell with it - so I just decided to die - stopped running and vampire bit me and woke up instantly
wasnt scared and never saw vampire again. After that I could lucid dream.
I’ve had “sacry dreams”, but since I discovered this site and learned more about dreaming and stuff they don’t seem “scary” anymore . For some reason I know (even I don’t realise it when i’m dreaming) it’s just a dream.
I don’t really have any
nope, some that may seem scary, but none that i found scary at the time(i’ve been stabbed, but i didn;t really mind)
I always have nightmares. Only nightmares. Not scary ones, but sad, empty, dull, grey ones. At least I almost don’t have any DR, so I don’t have to remember such stuff.
Anyway, a usual type of nighmare I have is that I screwed up somewhere or that my life got screwed up somehow. It’s always nice to wake up after these.
