Do any of you have nightmares constant nightmares? Almost like a flashback or something that happened in your life? It is really making sleep something I do not want to do. I was just wondering if I am alone with this. :cry:

I'm sorry, I haven't studied the mobility of the fecal matter of musca domestica.

Whenever there is dried blood on my face, it's usually on my forehead or around my lips and mouth.

I have, fascinating subject.

Sorry, I still reckon it's a nosebleed. Have you had your adenoids checked?

Yes, I just had them checked last week, actually.

And?

Nothing. I even brought up the bloody episodes, and the doctor didn't know what to say (which is why I brought it up in the first place). Btw, I also had to get a Meningitis vaccine injection. I HATE injections. I also hate blood tests. Did I ever tell you about the time I had to get a blood test and I had so much anxiety that the nurse had to wrestle me to that stupid table thing with the paper on it and squeeze the blood up through the entire length of my arm?

Yours truly,

P.S. ...eh...I got nothin'...

I think it's still able to be explained logically.

Got to be from either your mouth or possibly ears... :?
Xeper,
If you go into psychoanalytical therapy, those dreams can be a doorway into your unconscious. You have wonderful material to work with.

Yet MORE nightmares:

16. Being in Barnes & Noble and having someone (presumably a family member, though upon waking it becomes clear that the person is not a member of my family) confront me and tell me that I told so-and-so that he/she is adopted (which is odd because no one in my extended family is adopted).

17. Having a sister who dies slowly of an incurable disease (breaks my heart every time...but I've always been an only child...)

18. Being hunted down and killed by the ancient Egyptian god Horus.

19. Drowning slowly with my cellphone ringing. Eventually, I pick it up and my father says on the other end that he hates me. (The second part actually happened in real life recently)

Yours truly,
XEPER

P.S. How do you like THEM apples, Sojourner?

XEPER hasn't it ever occured to you that your family are the ones that are evil and not you? They sound like a bunch of complete retards to me.

If my Dad said that, he'd get a barrage of expletives down the phone, and a crowbar to the kneecaps.

Then, I'd start to get a bit nasty.

Mr. Mole, it would make more sense from a logical point of view that my parents are the ones who are "evil." However, I just can't shake this feeling...I guess I've just accepted it for so long...

P.S. Pretty quiet today, huh?

You don't have to the trouble of typing my username like that. My name isn't Mr. Mole, it's just a username. (Not even the one I use normally, but I can do without various people reading my posts by Googling for my usual alias), Less keyboard work for you!

Of course your parents are the ones that are evil! It's more obvious that Pavarotti hiding behind a bamboo shoot.

So all you've got to do is break your own beliefs. Funnily enough, the same I'm trying to do, so fully appreciate how hard it is.

I have noticed that Fridays are the quietest day of the week on this board. It gives me hope that DP have lives too

I'm barely employed otherwise I'd love to be out :cry:

Got plenty of money in the bank but it has to last me for the foreseeable future...
XEPER, I know you have 22 disorders - and this admittedly is not much of a consolation - but like Sojourner said, you do have a discernable root for many of these symptoms, stemming from, say, abusive parents, a nasty childhood, and expressing itself in self-loathing.

That wouldn't be a good thing, but you definitely have something to work with if you were to try some depth-therapy. If you ever have the money to try some, I really think you should - since you're intelligent you have a good chance at making progress if you're shown how to do so.
I'm Jewish, so of course my nightmares are based on money.

I actually woke up screaming once because I had a nighmare that my dad accused me of stealing money and decided to disown me.

:)
Strange, because thinking about it don't think I've had a proper nightmare since I was a kid - now they are usually just banal or bizarre. I once had a dream about a horse. That was it. Just a horse standing in a field. It was so boring I woke up. Oh and I also had a memorable cracker amount going downstairs to make a cup of tea, only to find - SHOCK HORROR - that I hadn't put any water in the kettle. My bizarre ones are really quite bizarre though....not including Sleep Paralysis.

I do, however, have a weekly (sometimes more) dream that I've just murdered someone and I am trying to escape the authorities. The dream content is never the same, but the theme is. I'm almost certain I know what the analysts will say about that type of dream, so don't bother telling me. :wink:
I recently had the "i've just murdered someone let's leg it" dream, come to think about it.

I have no idea what it means though.
I think it's meant to mean that you are feeling guilty about something - usually a seperation fom someone or something that was important to you. In my case - my life.

The worrying thing is, during the dream I have no feelings of guilt at all about the 'murder', just a terrible urge to escape, get away.
I think the urge to murder is anger, not guilt.
I don't think either me or Martin have an urge to murder - well, perhaps Martin does :wink: .

Such dreams aren't about wanting to kill anybody, they're about you already having done something and running away from it, hence guilt, not anger. Although I'm equally ready to believe that they have no meaning at all.
