Clusters of upsetting dreams

Hugo Stiglitz

Does anyone else find that they have clusters of upsetting dreams? I find I can often have two bad dreams a night, two or three nights in a row. Common themes are rejection and humiliation. I can't identify any triggers.

I'm delighted to hear that, BS.

I used to have the same nightmare since as long as I can remember. The only way I can describe it is that I'm being pushed through a pipe. It's dark, enclosing, and there's a terror within. Horrible dream.

Back then I lost a flatmate after I woke up screaming one too many times. Glad I outgrew those kinds of dreams years ago. I still have my missing netbook repetitive dream, where it disappears from my locale javahouse when my back is turned. Had one about a month ago or so.

Awhile back when teen, I used to have recurrent night terrors with the same dream theme, which, if you look way, way back on this forum you probably can find mention of them. Thankfully I outgrew them and they have not reoccurred.

I dream a lot, i think it's related to the fact that i don't always sleep very deeply but i'm open to correction.. I will have dreams that are like TV shows where they 'continue' from where i left off last time so to speak. These usually start out quite dull and boring but soon become nightmarish and/or very very confusing. Sometimes when once has been reaching a conclusion i can find it hard to restore reality when i wake up..

YES! I know exactly what you mean. Nice way of putting it.

My own dreams are rarely nightmares, but they are often being being subjected to bullying, humiliation, loss etc. This all happens in familiar settings too and by people I know. It really messed with my head when I wake up, and results in my bedtime safeplace becoming not much so.

Haven't had them in a few weeks now thankfully.

You should write up your Grem Tales, which may work for grand fiction.

Dream episodes. Beats TV soaps. Spooky dreams I enjoy.

Repetitive. Upsetting rare. Dreams entertain. Like spooky films. Dreams too.

I have serial dreams with the same theme, whereupon someone steals my netbook when I turn my back to buy coffee or add cream in one of the javahouses I frequent. They occur randomly over past months, not knowing what triggers them. Such dreams have influenced my behaviour, where I never let my netbook out of sight or by bringing it with me.

I've had nights like this. Each time I jolt awake from one, my side of the bed is soaked in cold sweat. In mine I often have rejection betrayal and physical injuries. No idea why but i hate them.

I once had a doctor tell me I was getting "too much sleep" so this was happening. I now am lucky to get 6-7hrs a night and I still get them. They suck.... especially the ones where you can't tell if it's real or still a dream.
