I Have these night terrors and they are freaking me out. I have random dreams of different things, I've noticed a few scratches and bruises from my sleep but cant really remember what the night terror was about.

I found that if think about all the things that I found destressing in past dreams just before I go to sleep. that they do not appear that night.  It's sort of facing your fears. When your sleeping your hidden fears in your subconcious come forward in your dreams. But if you face them while awake, then they are no longer in your subconcious etc.\nTry it, it works for me. If not then your best bet is to see a professional.

Some times dreams reflect many things which you experienced in your daily life, some thing you hair or see, things you read or watch, especially if you saw things has no connection to each other.\nIf you saw disturbing things in your dream, then it is what we call a nightmare, which is normal, but if nightmares repeated again and again, that’s not normal.\nIf what you saw in your dream is very clear to the point that you can explain every thing you saw with details, and it is hard for you to forget it, try to ask professional Dream Interpreter which could help you in this matter.

I usually remember what I dreamed about most nights.  Some nights it's really silly and fun to recount.  As I'm waking up more now, the details of last night's dream are beginning to fade.  But I do remember one thing.  I was shopping for a new mattress that doesn't shake around when my husband gets up, sits on the side of the bed, and works his socks on.  Man!  He makes an earthquake in the morning!  It's probably the dream I was having WHILE he was putting his socks on.\n\nAnyway, I like this question.  I wouldn't mind answering it every day!\n\n:)

Whoa, I have to do the same thing sometimes where I try and remember what was real and what wasn't. It's really wierd and you get a little nervous because you want to ask your friend "Did this actually happen?" and you think you might be getting Alzheimer's disease or going crazy.\n\nIf I were you I'd try keeping a notepad next to my bed and when I woke up I'd remember all that I dreamt and write it down. You don't need to write down every single detail, just a word or two; they'll help you recall what the dream was. That way if you ever get to wondering if it actually happened you have somewhere to check and know. If you find you're really confused as the day goes by keep the notepad with you (maybe in your pocket) to double-check.\n\nI perceive my dreams as worrying, enchanting, satisfying, terrifying, sad, creepy, and odd. It just depends on what it is about and how I reacted in the dream. Some of the time I have been worrying that something was going to happen and it did in the dream, or sometimes I worry that something in the dream will come true (not always a bad thing) later in real life. And sometimes dreams are just odd and you have no idea how your mind thought that up. Sometimes the dream is so enchanting or beautiful you lay back on your pillow and wish it would happen again. Sometimes dreams are vivid, other times fuzzy and blurred.\n\nI hope this helps! Sweet dreams!\n\n...may i have ten points please?

I have them constantly and it is really freakin' me out. It happens at around 11 p.m. at night. I climb into my bed to read a book and then suddenly I feel really strange. Next thing I know, it is morning. I can't explain this and it is really weird.

Have you gone to a doctor?  \nIf so then what's you nightmare about?\nSometimes dreams have hidden meanings!

I also suffer from night terrors and I notice when I am either under lots of stress or when I am very tiered I get severe ones. However I've had them since I was a child, and what I've learnt is that you have to tell yourself it is not real and it's just a dream.\nI am 26 and only in past year or so I've been able to deal with them better.\nMy solution came to me when one day (yeah I get them in the day too) I had night terrors and I realized I was dreaming. I wear glasses and I knew that is had to be a dream because there is no way I could see so clearly. Since then I have been able to pull myself out of my night terrors easier because I am almost certain they are dreams.\nYou need to learn to control them in you sleep. \nThere is no way to predict when they are gonna happen but good things to do is try and rememberr things in your room like a painting or a mirror on the wall and look for it in your dream and focus on it. I know it's hard but it gets easier with time.\nGood Luck and I hope it works out for you.

I more than most anyone will understand what you are going through...I too was sexually assaulted for many years and I have also been gang raped and raped by a couple of others. I too sleep VERY little...I average around 3 hours per night. I have had and been diagnosed with night terrors for years, as well as anxiety attacks....ALL I can suggest is meditation, group therapy and xanax...at least these are the only LEAGAL things that have helped me...If you are so inclined you can e-mail me and I'll go into further detail, but this is what I hope will help you at this point.....Peace!

These things happen all the time some times to the most unsuspecting people. One thing you should do is pay attention to what you dream. Keep a dream log or a tape recorder beside your bed so you can have a record to compare things to.\nOh yeah FYI\n Some one who has answered this question is about to experience some paranormal events In his life!

Your subconcious is trying to tell you something.  Is there something in your life that you feel is holding you back?  It could be affecting your sleep.\n\nIt also sounds like night terrors.  Most abduction stories are really night terrors.  They occur when the body wakes up from REM sleep too fast and your body hasn't had the chance to reactivate.

Dreams are a reflection of our subconscious. Apparently, on a subconscious level, you need more horror in your life. Go see a horror flick and sleep peacefully.\n\nNo, I'm not kidding. Every now and again, if I haven't seen a horror film in too long, I have really scary nightmares.

When I was 16 years old I woke up from a dream feeling frightened and I saw an apparition like you describe straightening up as if it had been bending over me. I tried to move but I couldn't and it walked into the other room and I heard a rustling noise that I thought was some papers on the table in that room. I was straining to move. I thought maybe it was my cousin who had the room next to mine up on the third story of the Victorian house I was living in. Suddenly I jerked free and I got up and walked into the other room but no one was there. A room led off from that room into a storage room that had a hatch that was open to the summer night sky. As I thought about the rustling noise I wondered if instead of it being papers maybe the noise was some creature with wings flying off. I shut the hatch and went back to bed wondering what the heck had happened. I couldn't tell you what you are seeing. I just relate my story because it sounds somewhat similar to what you describe.

Funny you should mention that, I had an encounter just this evening. No kidding, it really scared the cr4p out of me. I am due to have my home investigated by a paranormal team this coming weekend and they did warn me that the activity here would probably increase 10 fold. It sure has done that in the past week or so.\nThis is only the second time I have seen a shadow figure in my home and I am sure it won't be the last either.\n\nWhy do you ask this question. Email me if you wanna talk ok?

I did have a dream that there was another terrorist attack on the United States. That wasn't cool either. It was actually pretty scary. Thank goodness they're only dreams!

It has happened to me. I have woke up and cannot move or speak. I try to scream and nothing comes oujt. I have even seen something approach me. TRY your HARDEST to move even a finger. Once you can do that you'll come out of it. I read that it has omething to do with the REM part of sleeping. The body wakes up during a deep sleep and that is why I would see something coming at me. Many others have been through the same thing. Talk to a sleep specialist or a neurologist.
