sometimes but not lately. it was a couple years ago (age 12-14)
i would have this horrible nightmare. I would be doing somthing strange like moving a tv across an empty plain (space, empty plain, blank flatness). then i would mess somthing up and the tv would get too big (gargantuan). i would feel so bad and emotionally sick. i felt like i ruined my family and i’s lives. Now that im a little older the feeling would be like if you knew you were going to hell for all eternity. it was a feeling of eternal damnation. anyone else ever have a dream with this feeling.
I would wake up horrified and emotionally sick. it was horrible.
Could be depression, I know I suffer from it, and I think dreams sometimes show me through nightmares. I remmber one particular dream, where Im in the back of a car with two other people, and we are driving though a grave yard. I get out, and see Elvis Pressleys grave(Im not and elvis fanLOL) I see a neclace on the tombstone, and I pick it up, when I got back in the car I smelled my hand, and it was the most horrible smell Ive ever smelled, I knew it was the smell of death. Ill never forget that dream.
wow that is crazy. especially the smell of death thing. that is freaky.
But yeah, Josh it sounds like depression or something. are you depressed in waking life?
Yae the smell was so bad, I allmost threw up when I woke up. I havnt smelled it sence, and I dont wish to ever again. Another nightmare I remmber having was… I was walking in the woods, and there was this old ladie who had hung her self, her eyes were picth black, and she kept saying the same thing over and over, I cant remmber what she was saying, but I knew it was her last words. Ive had some creepy nightmares in my life
I personally think dreams are meant to be taken in the most metaphorical way possible.
Perhaps the TV is your burden of peoples lives. What does a TV represent? A collection of drama and emotion, positve and negative. As you push this along, you then notice its far too much to handle, in other words, ‘taking the world on your shoulders.’ Then you realize how impossible it is to handle and drop it all at once (TV size increases), thus causing great pain to everyone instead of one or two (sick feeling).
Perhaps this means you must find balance in something in your life. Usually in dreams where people are burdened with a task that always fails, it means that person has accentuated one part of their lives in sacrifice of other parts, thus resulting in imbalance.
Just imo though. I don’t see that as eternal damnation at all, but simply a wake up call from your subconscious.
this is very weird. I had a recurring nightmare when I was little where there would be a tiny piece of string , usually in a mailbox, and I would move it a little bit, then get that sinking feeling of impending doom and I’d wake up. Used to scare the bejeebus out of me. Even to this day, if I’m working with something small trying to move it, I will sometimes get that feeling. I think some wires got crossed in my brain. But it’s REALLY strange you mentioned the same exact thing… weird.
It is strange how small things can set off strong emotions in a dream. This is a kind of dream I get once in a while. Someone does damage to a small thing…and I am horrified, because the damage is irreversible. If I am the one who did it, it feels like I am marked for life, like you described. It is usually ruining food, or opening a letter.
