Do you ever have recurring dreams / nightmares?

Favorite Answer

I've had the same dream since I was a child. It's like I'm watching a movie of myself around age 4 or 5, playing on the living room floor of my parents home and I'm kidnapped by a man in a cowboy hat and I'm so terrified I cannot scream to alert my mom who was taking a bath in another room, instead I'm just in shock and just as this guy throws me over his shoulder and walks out the front door with me, I muster up a small whimper of 'help'. I've seriously had this dream for years.. I'm 31 yrs old now and I had it just a few years ago again, it's always the same dream. What do you think this means??...Show more

I used to. It was always the same dream, night after night. I was driving through the desert, in the back seat, stacked from the floor to the top of the seat were gas cans, all full.
I drove until there was no one else in sight, tossed a cigarette into the back and woke up when it exploded.

By the end of the second week of this, not getting sleep I finally saw a shrink and got some time off from work and some meds to help keep balanced. No more nightmares since then. No more thoughts about suicide....Show more

yes, I have a constant dream that he dies, usually in a car accident, since I was 19 it's been a recurring dream. They are in color, and I feel like it's really happening.
Sometimes I think this dream is my subconscious showing me that he is broken and empty and when I awaken all I wanna do is save him.
but sometimes they can't be saved no matter how hard you try to hold on, no matter how much you try
I also have floating staircases in my dreams alot !!!, they usually start no where, and lead to no where one time the staircase turned into a slide and I slid down instead.
I have water in my dream alot too. One time I had a dream I was sitting on white granite stairs, and the sky and water was blue, and the water got higher on the stairs, and higher & the waves were crashing, and I wouldn't leave the stairs, so I drowned.
The other day, I had a dream of very blue water and blue skys, I was para-sailing, in the warmest waters I ever swam in....Show more

Do I ever, and it's a dozy.

It's a nested nightmare in which I keep waking up, over and over, only to realize I'm still asleep, dreaming I'm awake. It's very vivid, and I can't tell the difference even when I am fully awake. Darn right spooky. Started more than 20 years ago following a near fatal bout with pneumonia....Show more

I have one dream that comes back to me like once a year. Its the only dream I can ever remember.
I've had it since I was real little.
All I really rememeber of it.. is I'm on a mountain, and I have to walk across this really thin line of rope to save my sister at the other side, so I go to walk it, I fall, but I always wake up before I finish the dream.. so I still dont know what happens....Show more
