What does it mean when you yell out loud during a nightmare to the point that you wake yourself up from sleep?
usually one awakes at the point of danger in a dream, like this or falling off a cliff etc, I have heard it said we awake before an injury would occur in a dream and it does happen to me.
Sleepless nights (nightmares)?
does anybody have any rituals or anything they do before falling asleep to make sure they dont have nightmares? any suggestions to how i could prevent them from occuring?
Why do I have nightmares almost every night? I am 16 and almost every single night I have nightmares. How do I stop them?
I’m sorry this is happening to you but I also suffered from many nightmares, and that’s actually what got me into dream study.I can suggest two things:Keep a dream journal and write down whatever you can remember of the nightmare. Then you can analyse it for the symbolic meaning. Rather than write all that out I’ll give an example. Suppose I have this dream: “I am being chased by a man with a gun. I run as fast as I can toward my car, but no matter how far I run, I can’t get to my car - it’s always in view but far away. I am terrified and my pursuer is rapidly getting closer. I wake up in a cold sweat and my heart is racing.”Now that the dream is on paper you can go through it and circle all of the words that might be significant for you - this part is very personal. In the above dream, the trigger words would be chase, man, gun, car and run. Now I have to look at what those words mean to me. Perhaps the word “chase” to me means having to outrun someone. “Man” might remind me of being disciplined by my Father. “Gun” - terrifying. “Car” - freedom, escape. “Run” might scare me because I’m not a fast runner.So, if you substitute what the symbols mean for me and reread the dream, it goes something like this: “I need to get away from my Dad as fast as possible, but all his criticisms and judgments of me are terrifying to me and seem to be overtaking me. I’m trying to escape and get to freedom but I’m moving too slow and will soon be caught in a web of my guilt and mistakes.”2. The second and very important part of this is to take some sort of action as a result of your new understanding. I might make a list of all the good things I’ve done and the times my Dad has actually praised me. I could write down all the ways that I am free, and also free myself by forgiving him. This starts to dissolve the issue and lets your subconscious know that you have paid attention and are moving past this.I would also suggest that as you are falling asleep you think about lots of things that you feel good about - pets, friends, a good meal, a happy vacation you took, imagining a day at the beach - anything that paints a positive picture in your mind.Good luck! Keep at it. And sweet dreams!
Why do I have nightmares after I watch a scary movie?
I have this same problem. In fact last night I saw INSIDIOUS and didn't sleep at all - the entire night I was plagued by nightmares (even though I was not alone bcos after watching the movie I asked my mom to sleep in my room!). So I googled and found this article - How to Go to Bed After Watching a Horror Movie which I wish I read yesterday....Just to be safe I decided never to watch an horror movie in the night!R
How can I stop having nightmares or how can I have a deeper sleep?
Well, if you are not able to sleep because of nightmares:NOTE:THIS IS BASED ON MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE, BUT I THINK IT SHOULD WORK FOR YOU AS WELLFirst, convince yourself that you will not get nightmares when you sleep after you read this.Think about whatever stuff you are having nightmares about before you sleep.Your mind will most probably take topics for nightmares from your subconcious(i.e things you have not thought about for a reasonable amount of time)Stop watching horror movies;stop doing things that would normally provoke your nightmares.This may be an extra aid for people who are a bit different. However, it would make sense to follow this as well.#Hoping good sleep for you.
Why do I always get anxious, stressed out and really down at night? And sometimes I get scared too, and it only happens at night.
Dear Sierra,It is difficult to know exactly what is going on from such a short description but I can give you a general answers.I suggest you sit down quietly in the evening and spend a little time examining your feelings. All of them. Do your best to put all your feelings up on a stage like in a theater. You sit in the theater and look at them all. Let them take on forms and character attributes. Do not hide anything. Be open and honest with yourself and look at all your emotions, beliefs, feelings, experiences as if each one was something to be curious about. But do not get up on the stage. Do not participate with the characters on the stage. Just watch them as objectively as possible.This is the first step. I have written about all the steps to take at my blog noted above. Check it out and read some of the articles and especially my book posted there. You can read it online.I promise you, there is nothing to be afraid of. You will be safe and happy.Reach out if you wish. I am here to help and support you.Take careJon
Why do I get sleep paralysis only when I'm sleeping alone?
Sleep paralysis is a situation in which a person is not able to move or speak right before falling asleep or right before waking up. It affects alot of us but is mainly something that can almost be under the class of sleep disorders.About it only happening when you are alone, I just have to say it is in the mind. I say so because when you were young you slept alone in the bed and I would like to thing that you didn't exerience sleep paralysis.All I can do is say one way I got rid of my sleep paralysis was by having a sleep ritual. I wish I could say I followed it every night but when I had episodes of sleep paralysis it helped. My ritual involved:Taking a showerBrushing my teethListening to an audio bookPrayingSaying goodnight to my GFSleeping.
Does anyone know about a hispanic tradition of placing a glass of water under your bed?
You place a fine glass of water under your bed through the entire night every night and then you dump it out to the street before the sun comes up so that as the light begins to shine it scatters or transmutes the energies into good energy. Useful energy. Many people keep it next to their beds on the side table. You can add a little extra kick to it on those heavy days by sprinkling in a pinch of salt. If you, like me, do not get up before the sun does then you can flush it down the toilet and it's the same thing. Some people keep a glass of water at their work, in the kitchen on top of the refrigerator or some other place or even the front door. It should be changed regularly so that you don't hold on to it. If when you wake up there are bubbles on the rim then that is envy that was trapped in the water or removed from you. In some practices after you get an egg cleansing they stick it in a glass cup as normal and then you keep the glass with the egg under your bed for a certain amount of time before throwing them out. I don't recommend this method because it leaves room for accidents with it. Blessings, Shadow Storm
How do you get rid of a ghost summoned from a ouji board?(URGENT PLEASE HELP)?
hmm. if it has been haunting you for over 2 weeks there is no easy way of accomplishing it. I am somewhat knowledgeable on spirits and Ouija boards. Can i ask you some questions? please email me back if you do not want to suggest in public. but if you were there or if you can speak to her answer the following please: Were there Pre ritual protectional prayers? - There should always always always alllwayyyyyyyssss be pre ritual protection prayers. if not there is a high chance of being attacked by a spirit. Did anybody ask anything of the spirit? Asking it to move objects, make noises/lights etc. When using an Ouija board you are never supposed to do this unless it is confirmed that the spirit is good for example if it is your own Spirit guide. asking anything of the spirit in the living world invites it into our dimension. This is very dangerous and should never be done. After the Ouija session finished how was the board packed away and was a white sage smudging stick used to clean out any remaining spectral residue? When using an Ouija board you must make sure contact with the spirit is closed. This has to be a very very strong spirit if it can remain after the board has been packed away. The white sage smudging stick cleans out any remaining energy in the air. As for removing the spirit I'll give whatever best advice i can in the reply email if you want to send. I wish you the best of luck :). @golden NO NO NO NEVER DESTROY THE BOARD. THAT IS THE WORST THING YOU CAN POSIBLY DO. DO NOT LISTEN TO HIM.
