Oh my God!I just had a terrifying nightmare

[deletednumber]

Guys I just had a nightmare right now that it really scared me as fuck. It was so real ... my god...I thought it was happening for real.In the nightmare I sleep and my heartbeat gets slower and slower until it stops suddenly. I realize that I am going to die and I am happy and think"Yes i'm ready to go forever"but just as I do this tought I take my last breath and the body becomes immobile and rigid.Right after I feel like a strain...as if something is being pulled out of my body by force.and above me it appears like a shadow ... like a person but shapeless and I hear the voice of me as a child who says frightened "Help me, please help me" Jesus fucking Christ....Holy fucking shit I really felt terror in that moment. I was just dead but my body was not moving anymore and I was still there somewhere,I felt that I was imprisoned and trapped ,my God was terrible guys!!!! then I opened my eyes scared and as soon as I realized that it was not true I started to cry because I was really scared as fuck.Imagine those horror movies that make you crawl your skin multiplied by 10000!!!!!Now even in my sleep I get tortured. It's all the fault of the mind, it's really cruel when it comes to survival instinct. I'm sure that with death we don't feel anything anymore...but it is as long as we are alive and as long as we feel fear that we will be tortured in all possible ways both physical and mental.:( have any of you had similar nightmares where you were practically dying?

Sounds similar to sleep paralysis when I struggle as it happens. But gee that sounds truamatizing.

It really was.sleep paralysis intrigued me so I searched for information and ended up on hypnagogic illusion ... from the description it looks a lot like what I experienced. I'm sorry you struggled with sleep paralysis. It's really scary to feel trapped

I get similar nightmares sometimes but I enjoy them because they make me feel some sort of excitement.

Oddly, I've had a very similar dream recently. I could feel heart palpitations that became slower and slower until my heart finally stopped and I died. It was more scary than I imagined. Usually, I never die in a dream. I wake up right before. I had recently relapsed to anorexia, and I often wonder if my heart is struggling while sleeping and it manifests in a dream.

Anyway, I often feel like I don't get any reprieve while sleeping due to my regular nightmares. Thanks, PTSD. I hope you can shake the feeling and get some sleep tonight. I know it's not very easy when it feels so real.

I've had several dreams where I either get shot, drown or hang myself - every single time the feeling is such an absolute bliss that I kinda regret waking up. I don't associate dying with nightmare, I don't see monsters or anything even remotely scary.
But then again I'm not a very emotional person so even my dreams are dull, lol.

It sounds like you get sleep paralysis. I also get them but rarely. I also sometimes get "out of body" experiences when trying to fall sleep. I usually see a replica of myself floating up to the ceiling and at first it's amusing and I want to see what's beyond the ceiling, but then I get frightened and wake up.

And how I love them nightmares. I wake up with no reprieve because I realise that I'm just in yet another nightmare. One continuous nightmare.

Maybe when they repeat and get used to it ... I can understand it because it's like an adrenaline rush but being the first time it was terrifying.

 

[fly away]

I get night terrors. I'm always being chased or hurt or something. I sort of get to a point where I start waking up so I scream in my dream and then I wake up screaming. In full flight and panic mode. It's been on and off for years.
Sometimes I yell in my sleep ….so I've been told.
Then you wake up and you're just in a different hell.
It sucks and the first time must have been beyond terrifying. I'm really sorry you have to deal with that.
Sending a big hug.

I have nightmares but nothing as bad as that. Our minds do like to torture us and it sounds awful what you have had to deal with. I have dreamt about ctb before, as it is on my mind a lot during the day. I hope you find some relief.

Yessss! I hate sleep paralysis, it's happened to me a few times.

Yeah it happens to me quite often. I've found as long as you don't try to fight it not much scary will happen.
And when you see that figure over you just stay calm and relax as much as you can and try to return to sleep so you can wake up.
Really wonder why sleep paralysis is a thing.

Thank you :) I was able to sleep after I calmed down because I was very tired. I used to woke up before I died in my nightmares too. This was the first time it was like witnessing my death and it felt so real.You know I asked myself the same question because lately every time I start falling asleep my breathing becomes slower and slower and
and I breathe a little with difficulty
not enough oxygen reaches the brain and sometimes my heart skips beats, maybe it's possible that I was stopping breathing when i fell asleep and with the nightmare my brain made me wake up. Incredible what our mind is capable of doing in order to survive.Sorry you are dealing with anorexia and PTSD...it's hard!

I understand ... I was happy that I was dying in that moment too but the problem is that the dream turned into something monstrous, it was like being trapped. I felt like there was a negative and evil presence. I was really afraid. Were not painful the deaths in your dreams? sure it was just a dream but when you died in the dream it seemed that you felt pain?

Wow.... the world of dreams and nightmares is really interesting Incredible what our mind is capable of creating while we sleep(:

thank you :) :) I am also very sorry that you often have these kinds of nightmares It's terrible ... Is it possible that even in sleep we can't have some peace? It's a pain ... I hug you :)
