Nightmares during childhood

Post Reply New Topic

I had one wierd dream in which there was a bridge and someone jumped off it.

The meanings of my dreams are either straightforward or nonexistant.

Or instead they are mystical, or simply to amuse.

Oh,yes I did and still do have nightmares.In fact have any of u seen the AmiktyVille Horror?I dreamed the other night I was standing in a dark hallway and there she was in front of me and she stretched her mouth REALLY wide and said sweetly,"Love...rape!" Ugh...

Wow, nightmares sure seem to be common among aspies, although only one person had some similar to mine. Here are some questions for you, which build on the nightmare topic:

Were there any people in your nightmares, in addition to objects or events?

What part did they play?

I'll get started with my replies.
In the nightmares involving the chandelier, there were almost never any people. In the few times there were, they would be acting like nothing is wrong, even trying to convince me of that.
In other types of nightmares, it varied. Most of the times, the people in my nightmares were not mean, but the interactions with them were sparse.

Aspies may seem to have nightmares more due to a different way of thinking.

Edited.

Did you ever see the movie "The Shadow" staring Alex Baldwin where he talks about the dream he has where he tears all his skin off and he is someone esle underneath? I had that dream last night. Quicly folowed by the even more disturbing nightmare of going off to collage and living by myself, but my mom just wouldn't go away. She kept visiing and staying the night.

I found this long-gone thread about childhood nightmares. I thought it would be fun to revive it.

Thought these two links might be a little helpful as I believe there are some treatments out there for frequent nightmares or nightterrors:

I used to have this recurring dreams as a kid that there were these blood sucking parasite creature things that were killing everyone and eventually I was the last person left. I jumped into a big empty crater but one last parasite leapt after me, attached to me and drained my blood. Also, I had this dream before Alien 3 was made thank you.

My dreams always seem to follow a distorted movie format, almost like a David Lynch movie.

Anyhow, that parasite dream I used to have back in '93 '94 and I had forgot about it until last year when I had the exact same nightmare again. Weird

My dreams are ALWAYS strange. weird freaky dreams.for a while now I've been training myself to lucid dream, and those dreams are always weird before I realise I'm dreaming.

when i was about six I had a dream about an elephant in a pink tutu who came and ate me, wich is probably why i'm scared of elephants in tutus. regular elephants are fine.

when i was seven I had a dream that my cat ran away and never came back, but he seemed older and there was a lizard in it. That wound up coming true. including the lizard ich ha also escaeped. anyone have dreams that come true before?

I have had some crazy, bizarre, dreams but not really nightmares. Either as a child or and adult, my dreams are something that I do though try to interpret. Still really no nightmares, my interpretations even makes the dream(s) even more bizarre to understand the dream I have had.

when I was little I did have bad dreams, but not alot. I seem to have "Outgrown them" and I knwo I'll regret saying that. I do occassionaly have one maybe once every six months, or more.

ShadesOfMe:"anybody have dreams that have come true before?"

I have had dreams that have come true in some ways or forms in my life.

It has happened many times in my life, to many times to count.

Even lucid dreams as well, though I have never trained for them.

I had night terrors as a young child (like before age 5) and sleep paralysis till 6th or 7th grade. I remember one kind of funny incidence of the latter in which I dreamed about a vampire attacking me (I was obsessed with vampires) and woke up to these HUGE RED EYES staring at me. I was totally paralyzed, and scared out of my mind.

It was my alarm clock.
