I am convinced to this day that had I not woken when I did, I would surely have had a heart attack. Ironically, I ended up in an almost identical situation in real life a few years later & was so scared by it I almost crapped my pants. It amazes me that the dreaming mind will signal physical responses from the body, as though the dream situation is "real." Perhaps it is--who can say, honestly, which world is more real?<BR/><BR/>Other nightmares usually involve me being killed by someone else--stabbed, shot, etc. In one instance I was stabbed in the ear with an icepick. The worst part was that I ran into my mother later, & she was more upset that I'd bought her the wrong dinner rolls than that I was dying. <BR/><BR/>The best thing about my nightmares is that they DEMAND my lucidity--no real effort req'd. It's not hard to pay attention to what's happening when someone's trying to kill you, even if it IS just a dream. As a result, I usually have long descriptions of these dreams with lots of detail. The memory of them remains, as well.Lana Gramlichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06975996208260144558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28221839.post-60737621887465081132007-03-07T05:02:00.000-06:002007-03-07T05:02:00.000-06:00Wowi....thats so kewl...when I am under stress I a...Wowi....thats so kewl...when I am under stress I also get lost of nightmares I also write them down, and its fun to write about them...people just think you are crazy when you say you killed someone in your dreams...whahaha...but we all do it...i mean dream about it.hihi:)Drizelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16746480963316566816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28221839.post-34219779857371914962007-03-07T00:08:00.000-06:002007-03-07T00:08:00.000-06:00let me get back to you, charles. one involves my ...let me get back to you, charles. one involves my fear of clowns, i saw a clown explode, literally, out of a cannon and be disemboweled but my entire family thinks this must be some mad dream, i had it when i was 8. there are several more, but this is a good one for starters.Wayne Allen Salleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17199261942617339556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28221839.post-7587824374284337342007-03-06T23:40:00.000-06:002007-03-06T23:40:00.000-06:00Like your Charles, I've had nightmares since I was...Like your Charles, I've had nightmares since I was very young. And like you I still have them. I write down all that I remember after waking, and most of them become short stories, one is currently the novel I'm working on, called Hypnotize. <BR/>I like my nightmares, they give me inspiration. And inspiration is good, for all art forms.

Their not as scary as real life. Kate, you're not the only one. JR, a lot of mine probably comes from long time reading of horror novels, but that doesn't explain why I had them when I was young, before I discovered horror.Charles Gramlichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02052592247572253641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28221839.post-9195519584082712902007-03-06T23:05:00.000-06:002007-03-06T23:05:00.000-06:00I rarely have bad dreams.

Well, almost any. There are still some eerier ones to keep me going, I guess.Erik Donald Francehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02332500850365598564noreply@blogger.com
