Bad dreams
 

I cry.
Then.
I have the dream haunt me for the rest of my life << >>.
Still haven't forgotten about the one I'd had as a little girl...

Ah, it kind of is~

That's so lucky~ But, at least you eventually get over them :3.

I haven't had any bad dreams lately, thank god. When I do, I usually get up and read a book or listen to some music. Just get my mind off it and onto other things. But then I start thinking about other stuff and I end up never getting back to sleep. ):

I had a really bad dream last night. When I do, they are very vivid and I wake up believing them. I cried and it's made the whole day feel horrible. :/

I haven't had a bad dream in a very long time, but when I do I usually I just get up for a few minutes and then go back to bed. My bad dreams aren't usually that bad anyways.

I used to have horrible sleep paralysis a few years ago, I remember
just sitting up in my bed and crying. It was horrible! :gonk:
But after a bad dream I usually wash my face or go outside if it's
really extreme.

I dreamt last night..that somebody loved me~ Smiths reference.. >w>
Nah, I dreamt my iphone was shattered to bits and I tried calling
Apple. :headdesk:

I'm usually too disoriented when I first wake up to do anything about it... so I just lay there and kind of inwardly panic for a while because I'm not yet awake enough to realize that it was just a dream. For some reason, I never really get up and do anything or tell anyone when I have a nightmare... I kind of just lay there and don't seem to realize that I have any other options. xD

Then the next day, when I think of it again, usually I realize that it was something ridiculous in the first place and have no idea why it bothered me so much. o.o

I try not to think about them...the last bad dream I had was just me with a shopping trolley speeding down, up and around shopping aisles....so it wasn't a typical nightmare, but I felt physically ill, like from motion sickness when I woke up.

Usually I'll write it down, or tell someone about it. My dreams of late haven't been bad, they've just been consistently weird. Last night I had a dream where I was laying in a hospital bed giving myself some sort of blood transfusion, then I posted a Facebook status about it. In the dream. o_O

Usually I just don't remember them, but I'll remember vague scenes or vivid imagery, like the blood thing. Having my dream-self stick a syringe in the same spot a few times and inject blood is kind of a weird image that I wouldn't get from everyday life.

I also used to have nightmares about a statue that was in my house when I was something like two. The statue freaked me out so much that my parents hid it for awhile, then stored it in my grandfather's attic. They brought it back when I was 10 or so, and since I was much taller than it, I laughed in its face. Although when I look in the room it's in and see if moved from where I last remember it being, I shiver a bit. It's a weird little thing.

Usually I'm able to wake myself up out of them. I'm not sure how I got to the point where I could do that (it wasn't through any lucid dreaming exercises), but if they get bad enough to have me really worked up and stressed out, the emotions are enough to get me to the point of being only half-asleep, and from there I can pull myself out of it.

I'm lucky enough to not have too many proper nightmares. Usually my bad dreams are just more along the lines of "slightly troubling" rather than "full on panic, everything is terrible and I'm going to die." When I do have a really bad dream, though, it usually involves betrayal. Usually my boyfriend telling me he's cheated on me (and being really cruel about it) or my mom being equally cruel. It makes sense, they're the two most important people to me, and I'm generally afraid of people turning on me. But yeah, those are the ones that leave me in a crummy mood for the rest of the day, sort of dazed. Anyone else get that? Like for the rest of the day you're still kind of half in the dream and you can't shake the awful feeling?

All my bad dreams seem to go on for their full length, but I always wake up during my really cool, weird, or completely ridiculous ones. Although I have managed to wake myself up a few times.

I've never had that dream-daze though, save for one time. I was in 9th grade and had lost my math textbook, as had my friend Caleb. In my dream, I was sitting in my math class, and everyone was in their proper seats. My teacher goes to the desks Caleb and I are at and gives us each a math textbook and says, "I found these. Don't lose them again." Then I woke up. It was so real that I actually thought I had my math book that day.

I had a dream I fell off a ladder and woke up on the floor one time >.>

I've haven't had a bad dream in ages. It has been at least 7 years.
I can't remember what i done though, because I was about 8 and i usually have a terrible memory XD.
I tend to no worry much though.When something bad happens to me I complain about it for about an hour, then i shut up for about 5 minutes. After that i brush it off and get on with my life.

I normally just write it down and then go back to sleep .-. I've had some pretty interesting Nightmares.
