For about 3 months I keep dreaming I am dying - every few nights?

Question

For the last 3 months have been dreaming I am dying. No recollection of anything before hand, no story that got me to my death, just that it is happening to me as I am in bed sleeping, has been anything from suffocating (wake up with my head in my pillow holding my breath) to my blood being drained from me.

I have a sense that someone has come to take me - no-one living though, and I am terrfied and just somehow accepting and think that's it like I was expecting it. Think about never seeing my family again and it takes me a minute to get a hold of myself - that it's just a dream.

Sometimes feel like someones in the room with me or there is movement, and once I saw a wierd figure in the room really vividly.

Have been under stress before and had dreams before, but this is something else, never had such vivid dreams and every 2 or 3 nights.

I know there is something going on in my head but have no idea what to do. Anyone able to offer guidance? It's really disturbing me.

Answer 1

anxiety dreams.
Dreams depict your fears, they are seldom predictions. So learn from the dream to sort out what is troubling you. Don't use them to trouble yourself.

Answer 2

You probably suffer something that you have not completed or succeed in reality. In other words, you may be feeling emptiness.

Subconsciously, you are trying to escape from that. However, in your dream you are showing what you are feeling. Dreaming of dying is a way to tell you that there is some failure in your life that you subconsicously are feeling about about (of course, there is exception such us too much movie or actual death events happens around you)

In your case, since you are under stress. That may be a symbol of releasing your helpless conscience. Perhaps, you have no one to talk about your problem in reality, so you choose dying in dream. This happens subconsciously and reflect your inner personalities.

Answer 4

It sounds like you are having an anxiety dream. It is pretty normal. The best thing to do is to address what is making you anxious or stessed. Try to find as many relaxation techniques as possible, such as meditation or exercise.

Answer 5

you have not mentioned whether you are staying alone and abt your family members. The first thing to do is to go on a vacation. Consulting doctor or taking pills for deep sleep is not to be done now. Have some one around till midnight, watch TV or listen to music.

Answer 6

I've had dreams about dying before, but they all had stories to happen with it (most of them war stories, like the Crusades). I suggest you talk to a doctor about this, and see if maybe it is something you're eating before bed?
