Nightmarish Dreams

[coffeeNiK]

Hello all...

For the last two - three years, I have had a consistent amount of nightmarish dreams. I am not exaggerating the figure. It has taken quite a toll on my health and I have gone way beyond the point of people getting fed up of hearing my stories.
early within the time period I became so tired of it myself that I tried to keep myself awake at nights. I tried silly things, like taking sleep pills hoping that the sleep would be dreamless...you all get the picture.

My dreams ranged from brutal graphic deaths (myself and my loved ones), raping of my gf, tragedy, failure, betrayal and humiliation.

these dreams are far too much and too vivid to discuss in one post, however they involve a lot of blood. A lot of myself being weak and helpless to the situation.
If anyone would like to know some of my dreams more vividly discussed then tell me...I simply just want to know why I have dreamt so much and how to stop them...if they can.

I would say something like "I respect your power, but I do not fear you" in your head at a steady rythem (mantra) with the intent of directly speaking to your unconcios mind as your going to sleep. In fact try to induce a nightmare, perhaps by visualizing past nightmares as you say the mantra. Hopefully you will be in a corageous mindset when the nightmare is induced, due to the mantra, and you will be able to resolve the issue. I wouldn't avoid sleeping or fear nightmares because your mind obviosoly thinks something needs to be resolved and it probably never will be if you shy away from it.

there can be a whole slew of reasons for it. can anyone really say why you dream such, for there can be a number of mundane and spiritual attacks(other or self) for these dreams.

for any to help you there must be more background, and your surroundings for a time, even then nothing is assured.

Is there no indication for such dreams?

Well I don't know Zero, I mean...
The same time these things started happening I started to black out during the day...I've gotten over the blacking out...but the dreams did stay.

Also, that shadow person that I mentioned before in another post...once that started to arrive, the nightmares just took a turn for the whole lot worse really.
I am a pessimistic person most of the time....(most being key)...and my life seems to be okay...i'm the only exception to the rule really....

[zero]

Have you talked to any one else about this? especially the blackouts. Have you any idea of why these things are happening?

how did you overcome the blackout?

[coffeeNiK]

I did speak to some of my friends about the blackout, my gf and at one point I did see a doctor about it. He told me that I was under stress and put me on vitamins!
Needless to say, it didn't work...

By gettin these blackouts so often, I was able to sense when I was getting one and actually (by trial and error), kept myself conscious through the process. I could then know the exact point I was going to lose consciousness...and I don't know...I was able to ..."spark?" myself back to waking.

I'm using my terms of course, I don't know if there is some method to explain this in the occult...Eventually, it became a reflex for me...

And no, no idea at all why these things happened...

[zero]

It is good you have learned to control the blackouts, though would it not be a good thing to know the source. a psychiatrist may help or a psychiatrist versed in hypnosis may even be better.

If these are magic or supernatural in nature, protection spells will help, though protection only blocks the attack but does not stop it.

[ZeldaFitz]

Are you a channel? Magi would know about this.

[coffeeNiK]

Me being a channel. I honestly wouldn't know.

Although, would being able to sense like people's intentions and emotions lead anything into that direction?

I do seem to know...more like feel when people are distressed, content, lying and in some cases dangerous. It's never failed me and I often thought it was my instinct.

[crowley666]

hmmm, this is interesting. You could be just taking on to much of other people's problems either magickally or through a mundane sense of empathy. You should do something for yourself, let you know you like you and put off taking on other peoples energy for awhile. Obviosoly you may be doing this without concios control, that's where the occult comes in. Knowing the unknown is just as much about understanding unconcious desires and actions as it is about those of the cosmos.

[Tanemis]

One thing I see no one has mentioned is a dream catcher. Anyone will do. Just be sure to purify it when you get it home and then hang it in a West facing window of your home. Most people say that this isn't necessary but if you know the lore behind it, it completely is. A dream catcher is put in a West facing window because as you sleep the dreams enter your home through the dream catcher, bad ones are caught in the web while good ones are allowed through the center circle. In the morning as the sun rises (from the West) the bad dreams that were caught in the web are destroyed by the first rays of sunlight.

Feel obliged to stay awake when you were young? :p

Really brutal dreams of graphic violence can sometimes signify an expression of your free will. Especially if you don't assosciate the dreams as nightmares or positive experiences. It would follow for you to consider: what do you express in your dreams that you don't feel you do otherwise?

Some people do say, I worry too much....could that be a problem.

Finding a dreamcatcher where i live would be rather difficult. Is there any chance I could possibly make one? Or is that out of the question?

I'm not sure i understand, could you please elucidate?


Again, thanks for all the feedback people.

[Plarkenstorf]

I'm not sure i understand, could you please elucidate?

Sure, if you answer my questions I could perhaps provide more help to you too. :D

Do your dreams feel like nightmares? I mean, how do you wake up feeling after each one?

[Tanemis]

Coffee, I'm sure you could make yourself one without much issue though I'm not sure of the specifics on how to make it; that could be readily found online anyways so I don't see that as an issue, google does amazing things. If you're not feeling as arts and crafty though after seeing the process to make it I would say you could most assuredly find one online to buy and have shipped to your residence. I think it's also important to note that if you DO make the dream catcher be sure to find some type of Native American site that is instructing you on how to do so as it will probably have the most accurate process to creating one than any other site since you're use is actually magickal and not aesthetic like most people use them for these days. The dream catcher I have was bought for me by my grandfather and though I've never cleansed it nor do I know where he got it from, I can honestly say I have not had a bad dream or nightmare since I was very little. I just don't want you to create a dream catcher from some arts and crafts website that leads you in the wrong direction of creation and ultimately doesn't have any effect what-so-ever.

[coffeeNiK]

Whoa. The worse feeling in the world. My dreams do feel like nightmares.

When I was new to it...I used to feel the pain when I awoke. Got me sick to my stomach, the visions the feelings had me vomiting. Some days I couldnt' even move. Parents thought I was sickly for a while. Doctor told me my resistance was low and that my blood pressure was low too...

Recently though...I..just feel like I know I'm dreaming these nightmares, but at the last minute I doubt myself because it feels so real and goes on for so long... I begin to accept it and then it's like I get sucked straight back into my room in my body.

Now that feeling, I haven't grown accustomed to.


To Tanemis....
I guess I could buy one online. I just don't really want my parents to stick their noses in this particular type of business. i will look into it however. Thank you for the suggestion.

[Plarkenstorf]

When'd they start?

[coffeeNiK]

Mid-November 2007.
Got really bad in January of 08...
Maintained that level up until last month when this Shadow Person came about. Now it's just ridiculous....

[Plarkenstorf]

And what was happening in your life at that time?

[coffeeNiK]

Started a uni...Met my gf...
BEcame acquaited with a group of friends that I am still with today...
Had a temporary scare with my family relocating...but that's about it...

[Tanemis]

What is a uni?

[Belphebe]

It is repressed emotions.

[Plarkenstorf]

Just incase Belphebe was replying to Tanemis: a uni is not repressed emotions. It's an institute of study, similar to a college, but specialising in abstract subjects like maths and chemistry instead of carpentry and joinery.

[coffeeNiK]

Yeah, sorry for the mix up there tanemis.
I meant a university.
And repressed emotions is what I'm believing it to be at least. Kudos Plarkenstorf.

Got another last night, had me feeling weaker than most nights....

[Belphebe]

I was replying to coffeeNik, I know what uni is, I attend one.

[Plarkenstorf]

As a slight derail, what do you study?

[ZeldaFitz]

Please keep on topic!

[Tanemis]

Ah university... having joined the military after getting out of high school your college slang falls on deaf ears here! :)

again...so sorry. :shy:

Last night I had a strange one. Got me sorta feeling weak.

The dream was simply...I burnt to death. A very long, vivid burning of myself.
I was lying horizontally and for a while I could have felt what I was placed on...(felt like wood)...but after the pain kicked I couldn't tell anymore.

I woke up and guess who was right next to me. The shadow person...
For the rest of the day I was feeling numb and faintish...Ended up passing out somewhere in the afternoon.

[Tanemis]

Have you tried any banishing spells on this shadow person? I realize you're seeing physical manifestations but you might also want to consider shielding yourself as well before you go to bed, it sounds like some one might be trying to attack you on the astral and not just this shadow person attacking you. As a spin on the ideas presented, perhaps this is an attack on the astral plane and like some one pointed out earlier not much is known about the shadow people when they show up. Perhaps instead of the shadow person being malevolent maybe he's showing up as a guardian attempting to protect you from the astral attacks you may or may not be having. Just a thought....

[coffeeNiK]

I certainly don't know it doesn't feel as if it wants to protect me.
When it comes to banishing spells and rituals...I just find it hard to start it here by myself. I need help or something.

[QueenBeeBeeMarie]

Are you sure it's a shadow person and not some other entity?
You could try smudging the room with sage and then saying a simple spell like
''thrice around the circles bound,sink all evil to the ground'' you chant that 3xs and then say
''so mote it be'' or
''blessed be''
or a simple chant you can do is ''um moni paud me um'' it is supposed to take away all evil and return it to it's sender.
Those are basic protection chants you can try.The sage is supposed to cleanse all negativity from your room.You could try Dragon's Blood for protection.Then,Amethyst is good for protection and Quartz crystal also clears out negative energies.I also think a dream catcher would be very good and Lavender helps with calming and soothing as well as sleep.
I hope that this is of some help for you.

[QueenBeeBeeMarie]

Oh,that's wonderful news.I am happy he is alright.

[Light]

Phew , sounded so awful...
Hopefully he will get better soon...Sounded a bit like post traumatic stress, with microslips during the day , from utter exhaustion or something much worse...

Hope things turn out well for him...
