Nightmares?

Question

I have really horrible, morbid nightmares almost every night. Like murders, me being raped, killed, kidnapped, chased, etc. I'm wondering if this has any meaning; is there some kind of subconscious significance I should be aware of or just a fluke of nature? It's very disturbing though. Thank You!

BTW: if this helps at all, my birthday is 7-19-83. I was told I'm on the cusp of Cancer and Leo.....? Thanks again.

Answer 1

Uhm, I don't think your birthdate or 'Astro' sign has anything to do with it.

Answer 2

I don't know how to read dreams. All I can say is it sounds like you have some anxieties that are working on you while you sleep. Maybe it's the other way around, that is, your nightmares maybe a way for your brain to work out the anxieties you had during the day before so you can start the next day fresh.

My nightmares often times are of a giant tornado bearing down on me. In my dream I feel an overwhelming sense of dread and despair. When I wake up I feel relieved.

But I have another nightmare where my son and I are walking in the woods, he starts to walk off, I call to him to come back but he won't listen. I watch helplessly as he falls into quicksand and disappears. I do not feel relieved when I wake up from this dream. It haunts me during the day.

Could this have been past life experiences ?

OR dream interpretations are

To dream that you are murdered, suggests that some important and significant relationship has been severed and you are trying to disconnect yourself from your emotions. It also represents your unused talents.

This dream may also represent a part of you or your life that you wish would leave you alone and stop creating a nuisance. Killing may represent the killing off of old parts of yourself and old habits.

To dream that you have been raped, suggests a sadistic expression of sexual desire. You may be expressing an unconscious desire to be violated, conquered, or forced into forbidden territory. It also indicates vengeful feelings toward the opposite sex. Alternatively, it suggests that you are feeling violated in some way. Something or someone is jeopardizing your self-esteem and emotional well-being. Dreams of rape are also common for those who were actually raped in their waking life.

To dream that you are being kidnapped, denotes feelings of being trapped and restricted. Someone or some situation may be diverting your� concentration and your attention away from your goals.

To dream that you are chasing someone, signifies that you are attempting to overcome a difficult goal or task. You may also be expressing some aggressive feelings toward others.

I hope after reading the information about you have a clearer insight to your subconscious feelings : )

Answer 4

it depends on so many things.
One of the things which might help you is that it is very important that you go to bed in a good frame of mind.
if you are the worrying, nervous type of person, this could have started by you having had a nightmare, like most of us do, and you spent too much time dwelling on it, and worrying about it. Your subconscious mind is thus not at peace by the time you go to sleep, and from there onwards it becomes like a habit to dream bad dreams.
Force yourself into control by concentrating on the positive things during the day, and don't be expecting to have any more nightmares .
Some people , like me, choose to wake up during a dream we don't like, and force the dream in another direction, or not dream again at all...

Wow, I am really sorry about the nightmares that you have. I am a gemini, and I used to have extremely bad nightmares as well. ARe you stressed about something? Generally, when we have a lot of things going on in our lives, that is heavily stressed situations, our minds can create these brutal nightmares, because its fears and even more stress. Once you face your fears, and get over your stresses, I am sure the nightmares will stop. Also, there is a DVD called the 7 secrets, if you get it, I am sure that could actually be the key to unlocking all of your fears.

Answer 6

dreammoods.com is a good site. You might want to look into some of their tips on that site. You could also try using positive affirmations before you go to sleep - like "I'm going to have good dreams tonight" or "I will only remember dreams that are helpful to me" or many others. The trick with affirmations (and any suggestions you give to your subconscious) is to word it in positive terms. Hope that helps :-)

I really agree w/Milly_196. She has a great answer for you.
Talking w/someone who knows some therapy could help; and there are free/income scaled dream therapists available.
If I could vote, I would say she has some great insights. This is based on my own experience; some workshops; and reading about it.
Also, the websites sound really good.
I've seen them recommended on Yahoo Answers before.
Hope all improves for you.

Answer 8

maybe you watched or read heaps of crime,thriller ,murder etc..usually stuck on yor mind and create a vivid imagination on your brain..It doesnt mean it will happen, its just a matter how you get rid of thinking those stuff.

If you really dirturbed about your dreams, usually prayer helps.,If you dont pray..try watching or reading some stuff that will tickle your imagination in something good like funny stuff or romance. Good luck..hope you dnt have any nightmares anymore

Answer 9

It surely sounds like someone has very little control of their lives and maybe some fear of letting go..By letting go I mean this..You are at an age in which it is very normal to feel this. Always remember, and I know this is true, that you never see yourself or who you are in these NightMares! Its only your mind that wants you to believe its you...But your mind isnt trying to hurt you or scare you, it is just preparing you and making you stronger!!!! What will help make them slowly stop is before you go to sleep tell yourself what kind of dream you want to have out loud..Not only will it happen but you will remember it like no other dream youve ever had....

Answer 10

killing an death are not always bad in dreams. death represents a personal change. killing off of old ways, changing. it is natural to have fear when you dont know what's going to happen next. it is natural to fight to hang on to the lkife that you've known. but it sounds like a part of you is desperatley in need of moving forward. relax. move forward, things will always change, wether you fight it or wether you lay it to rest quietly and move 4ward into the change that is apperantly struggling so hard to take place

Answer 11

well i'm not so sure if they actually have a meaning about anything but do you think it could have something with the television programs you watch, or the relatives of either your mom or dad? or maybe there just dreams......unless their trying to tell you one of the ways you might die in the future!
