My name is Lucien.
I don't know where to begin. I have been plagued by nightmares for almost 4 months now. I realize I need counseling to help deal with it and without going into needless detail, I am unable to physically get to a counselor's office at this time.
I survived childhood physical, sexual and emotional abuse by my late mother.
I have also survived alcohol and drug dependency and am currently over one year clean and sober.
For the past 4 months I have horrible dreams about my childhood. It seems these dreams intensified both at a time when I was dealing with the infidelity and dishonesty that consumed my relationship (I was not the one who cheated or lied) and again at the one-year anniversary of my sobriety. I am uncertain as to whether or not these are flash backs or dreams. I am almost afraid to sleep anymore and have existed on a maximum of 4 hours of sleep per night for years---although it is far worse now. I have thought of keeping a dream journal but quite frankly putting these dreams down in black and white terrifies me. For one, I am not sure anyone, including myself would believe them. The worst part is that my senses continue to "dream" after I am awake. I can smell her perfume, taste the air in the house, hear the clock ticking in the hall, etc. Sometimes this last for up to 10 minutes after I am physically awake and moving about. When these flash backs occur it seems like it is happening to me for the first time, yet I can predict the outcome. I know what is coming next.
I am extremely frightened. I feel as though I cannot function as I wish to. I have been accepted at Harvard and plan to study pre-med. I want so badly to succeed and am so frightened I will be unable to. I have never before experienced this type of feeling. I did well in school and the other college I have attended.
One point of interest, my first language is French, I learned English when I was about 5 and speak mainly English. I still think and usually dream in French--but these dreams are in English. My mother speaks English in them even though she never became proficient in the language.
There seems to be no pattern to the dreams. They happen nightly. Sometimes they re-occur after I have spent some time awake and other times they do not.
I am frightened and feel very much alone.

I had a dream last night all about my childhood friends pairing up and having sexual intercourse.

The rest of the dream was about me shopping with my brother (I'm an only child) for a book about Ghandi, and then after finding the book was too expensive at Target, we went to the mall. At the mall, my brother had a horrible fight with some other boy in the perfume section. The worker there was so upset that he broke half the store and blamed it on us. We were then promptly arrested, and after that I went on a rediculously important-seeming crusade for justice.

Recently, I've been wanting to get a haircut, because my I don't like the way my hair falls, and it is really long. Last night, this was incorporated into my dream. I remember walking into the hair cutting place and there being only one hairdresser, who was oddly, dressed in a robe. I walked up and sat down and we started talking about how I would like it cut. Then, I asked how much the haircut would be, and she said 110 cents per minute, dropping her robe, revealing her naked body. I began to catch on that she wasn't talking about a haircut, but my dream ended there.

My dream went as follows. I had just had a row with my Aunt and I was sitting on a bench opposite a pond, and behind me was a road and a row of houses. All the colours in this dream were very vivid; they were either neon colours (e.g neon green for the grass) or animated (i.e. just colour with an outline). After the arguement I was sitting on the bench crying. A group of people walked past- I recognised them as people I come into contact with or see every day- family, friends and even a few celebrities. My best friend was among them. They all smiled smuggly at me and walked past, laughing and having fun. Then another of my friends came along and sat next to me and consoled me for what seemed like a vast length of time. He wiped away my tears and told me to be positive etc. Then he got up and went to walk across the road. Just as he was crossing, I said, 'Dan! I...' and I was going to finish it off by saying 'love you' when he was hit by a red van that flashed by. I just sat there horrified, and time just stood still. Any ideas or interpretations of meaning? Thanks.

Screaming Infidelities

Last night I had yet another dream about my boyfriend cheating or showing me he could be cheating. We were at a friend's house, a house we're no longer allowed to go to, because they say they need their privacy. They're a husband and a wife, both in their twenties. I was facing the wife who was sitting on the couch. My boyfriend went up to her, and jokingly grabbed her by the ankles, pulling her legs in the air and put his head between her ankles. To me, it seemed like a sexual jesture and I asked him what he was doing and if he was cheating on me. Then, I awoke.

My second dream was about two hours later, after I stayed up for a few hours and decided to go back to sleep. I was making love to my boyfriend and he was transparent. Then, we stopped and he began to disappear. I said, "You have died, this is your spirit, please come back to me". I started crying in my dream and then I saw my spirit float out of me, and it rolled to one side. I had short hair, which I don't right now, and I disappeared. Then, all of a sudden, I was making love to another man, a man who was solid in shape and color. This man I have never seen before.

I woke up and the dream kind of upset me, because I do not want my boyfriend to die. The first dream upset me, because I know he isn't cheating on me with this woman. I have seen something between them, though, and I questioned my boyfriend. It made him angry, because it was quite ridiculous at the thought. Any ideas?

Dream

I had this deam 2 night's ago.

In a swimming pool beside a town square or pedestrian zone. Then on a ferry to an island. My sister is with me. Seem to be returning to a cottage on island to fetch 2 bicycles which I had left there.

Arrive in island. On a bus with sister going to cottage. Passing ugly built-up areas with buildings in a poor state of repair (or were they in construction?). Told sister that other side of island much more attractive. Arrive at cottage. It is in a country area. Garden covered in snow when we arrive but no snow thereafter. On a bed under a blanket inside cottage I spontaneously give birth to a scorpion/crab. It is heavily armoured and saucer shaped with huge claws and has a tiny baby of it's species with it. In the garden outside, I try to shake them off but they ?cling? to me and seem to recognise me as their ?mother? who will nurture them. I am aware that their bite or sting is poisonous and try to avoid them.

Interpretation?

I have some ideas about interpretation. Last evening when thinking about the day's events I did spontaneously give ?birth? to a thought which was unpleasant and which I did try to shake off. It is still with me today. It concerns an issue at my work place. I do not know where thought came from but it was indeed poisonous and not one to cultivate (reference to garden?). Very destructive. I need to think more positively.

Well my cat awakened me in the middle of the night to feed him, but when i went back 2 sleep i had the most confusing dream. I was at a party at a place that was my house but it was different than my house in real life. All of my friends were there and me and my boyfriends were together for a bit until he left me. So i was with 2 of my guy friends and one of them pulled out alcohol and my brother was like, "ur not going 2 drink that are you?" so i didnt... and then with 2 of my girl friends i went looking for my boyfriend(Ryan)... and we saw him sitting out in his car - WITH ANOTHER GIRL MAKING OUT! so i was upset ran into my bedroom and wouldn't come out. Then when it was tim to get everyone going i went out 2 my boyfriends car but no 1 was in it. Somehow i had the keyes though so me and my friends drove around looking for him, but we didnt find him. so i went back 2 my house and went to sleep. The next day i woke up and my b/f came back to my house and told me we should go 2 the diner for breakfast, so we did and he handed me this piece of paper with very neat script on it that looked like an invitation. But i read it and the very last sentence said, "so i hope you can understand and wish me luck with the next girl" and then i realized he was breakin up with me with a stupid piece of paper and i started bawling. Then he tried to tell me that i was incredably drunk the night before at the party and tried to tell me the horrible things i did that made him break-up with me... BUT i started screaming that i didnt drink a sip of a lcohol or a breathe a puff of weed because i was in my room crying the whole night because i saw him in the car with another girl. ANd i told him to have a greaaat time with the other girl because he was a worthless liar. then i somehow got back 2 my house and that night i went to a crazy party, and my cell phone was ringing, my best Friend called me up and asked where i was and asked 4 directions and stuff.

I dreamt I was in the library where I worked and a gang rushed in looking for me. I tried hiding in the basement where I worked, but it didn't work. So I took the elevator to the 4th floor, then to the 5th floor, then to the 6th floor, then to the attic, then to the roof, where I realized the only way I could escape was to throw myself off the roof to my death.

The Army and Babysitting

First I dreamt last night that I was on a date with a man who had a newborn baby. We were going to the movies. I was attracted to the man and I was having thoughts in my dream about how he didn't really like his wife. Then, he let me hold the baby, but it was squirming, like a pig. He told me that I wasn't holding the child properly and showed me how to put my hand under the baby's head.

In the second dream, I was doing kickboxing in the army with a Sargeant. I was learning and kicking at his hands and face, but not hitting him. He was dressed in camoflauge and so was I. He said, after we were finished, "You did good." Then, we were to hit the showers. I walked through this hallway, through a large, pink shower curtain. I found myself in bathroom with many showers and it was filthy in there. I was watching where I was stepping, afraid to step on something nasty. Below each shower head was a small, a few inches deep, tub. In the tub was dirt, dirty underwear and bras, and other objects. I walked to a random shower, one that looked the least dirty and other girls started coming in. Here's a part you guys will like. **LOL** I undressed and began washing myself down. Other girls undressed, too, each choosing a shower. One girl was so disgusted with the conditions, that she bent down, clothed, and washed the tub off with a wash cloth. Then, in walked two men. One looked in his teens and the other was a dark-skinned man; possibly from the middle east. They were grinning at we girls as we washed. I was intimidated, but I decided to intimidate the younger man watching me intently. With soap on my body, I squeezed my breast and winked at him. He blushed and turned away.

I was rafting down a river with some other people that I have never seen before. We went down some rapids and got down to the end. When we got there, we got caught in a whirlpool. We spun for a while, then escaped. On the edge of the river sat three guys. I talked to them and told them we got caught in a whirlpool. The one on the far left said "A whirlpool? like this?" and I got sucked down into the water. Under there, the water was orange-brown like desert sand and I got chased by a giant worm that looked like The sand worms from the movie Dune. Then I woke up.

Just this morning, I had a horrible dream that I was dying of Anthrax poisioning (don't ask me, I don't know anything about Anthrax), and I was in this commune with everyone else. When there was no longer room in the commune, one of us would be dragged by police into a gas chamber and killed. There were even children there. Although the disease was very contagious, we were still allowed to go out to eat occasionally. We went to get hot dogs (very unusual--I'm a vegetarian) and saw one of my old friends. He was taking orders and saw me. He asked, "How are you?" and I said "I'm DYING of ANTHRAX!!" as if it were humorous. He gave me a strange look, and then laughed. Worse still in the commune was the absence of cigarettes (Yes, I'm trying to quit, I'm sure that's where that came from) but I didn't care since I was still sad over the fact that my family wasn't there. My mom was trying to contract the disease so that she could be there. It was such an awful dream!

I had a dream in which I was at a cottage/house, and the backyard backed onto a lake. When I looked out into the lake, I noticed this girl that I'm friends with was there. I swam out to her, and we began to make out passionatly. Playing in the water. There was a family beside our house/cottage , but we didn't care. She was naked when I swam out to her. I asked her if she wanted to go inside eventually, but she said no. So I went inside for a moment. My mother was there, and she was with her boyfriend. They were having a party in the front of the house, with pretty much all of my friends. I said my hello's , and then I went back into the water to see the girl. We couldn't keep our hands off of eachother. Then some friends swam over to where we were and started hitting on us. They were guys. We then took off, into a blocked off area we were'nt suppose to swim in. She told me it was full of seaweed. I got some in my throat, and I couldn't breathe. I began coughing it up. That's where the dream ended.

t teacher that was in Ms. White?s room the last trimester of 2002. They acted like I had been there forever. So I sat down at the table and started talking. I don?t remember what the conversation was about, but I do know that I never once mentioned the car. Then, the student teacher brought out a big giant Costco sized cake that they all had just made. It looked delicious. They started to decorate the cake with what looked like Roses, but on closer inspection, it was golf balls. I thought nothing of it. I was now laughing, having a good time, and I completely forgot about my car problems?
I woke up?

had a picture of a heap of something or ether and had sparks shooting out of it. The words that explained the light said, LOSS OF VEHICLE INTENALITIES IN, below it gave numbers that were actually changing, 115 SEC. ?Oh crap!? I had to stop the car or my engine was going to fall off. I refused to pull into a nearby parking lot because I didn?t want to walk in the rain.
I kept driving. I was going 60 in a 35 mph zone. Not that it?s a problem seeing as how all the other cars were doing it. Straight ahead I saw a cop turn on his lights and speed after someone. This was good because now I could go even faster and there wouldn?t be any cops to stop me. (96 seconds before loss of vehicle internalities). So I zoomed through cars and didn?t stop for any light or stop sign. What was bad was that I looked back at the light, and it seemed that if I went faster, then the seconds would zip by even faster.
I was five blocks away from the director of drama at Cheney High School, Ms. White. I knew that I just had to get to her house. I drove and drove and turned up the wrong street, Ash, instead of Cedar. I didn?t think a thing of it either. It was starting to get lighter outside, and the rain had stopped. I drove past a lot of old people doing garden work in their front yards. They stared at me as if I were some sort of hooligan that came off the street.
I had five second to get to Ms. Whites house, but I was still a block away. I quickly pulled to the side of the road just as the timer ran out. I expected the worst. Instead of losing it?s engine, the car just died. I didn?t even bother trying to restart it; I knew that it was gone. I stepped out of the car, and one of the old ladies started to chase after me. So I ran as fast as I could to Ms. White?s house. I reached the front door, didn?t bother to knock or anything, and stepped right in.
She was home, along with Brandy, a friend of mine, the studen

The closer I got, the brighter the rear headlamps got. The strange part about my headlamps, were that they were orange. On closer inspection, the rear headlamps were on, yet the actual headlights were off.
I got into the car through the drivers side door, duh, where else would I enter? That?s when I saw that the headlights really were on, I could see the lights being reflected off the Volkswagen Sherocko. The driver of the Sherocko turned around, looked at me for a second, then laughed as he drove away. My guess is that he was laughing because I had left my headlights on.
?Shit? I thought. ?My lights have been on for like 1½ hours! (Good thing my dream body knows how to keep time in my dream world). I was sure that my battery was on the verge of dying. I turned the key at started the ignition. At first, everything seemed perfectly normal. When I put it in gear, I heard a terrible clunking sound coming from under the hood. ?Oh no!? I thought, ?The battery is loose and rolling around the engine!?
As I drove for a minute with this evil clunking sound, I looked at the dash. Sure enough the battery light was on. ?Okay, just keep driving and the alternator will charge the battery back up? was what I kept telling myself. I kept on driving and the clunking got louder and louder.
As I approached the stop sign right next to the Cheney Library I looked over and saw this guy Sterling from work. He was riding a bicycle. I snickered to myself and kept on driving, ignoring the stop sign completely. This was a bad idea cause I merged into really busy traffic. I listened for a second and the clunking had stopped. I looked at the instrument cluster, and the battery light had turned off! I wanted to jump for joy; my car problems had ended? oh was I wrong.
It had just started to downpour outside, which normally wouldn?t be a problem except that a new light had appeared on my dash. It

My dream starts as I am driving down the road to Cheney Washington in my 96? Dodge Neon and everything is completely normal. It was nighttime so my headlights were on. I was close to EWU and parked next to all the houses really close to campus. I got out of the car and started walking to some building or another in order to meet some friends. I think that I went to a building that isn?t really there, but it was in my dream.
The friends? I had met were Savannah Stell and I think Tarah Howard, but I?m not quite sure about that. Anyway, we climbed into Savannahs? van and we drove off.
In the blink of an eye it was daylight and we were driving down division in downtown Spokane. We noticed that the tires were going flat, so we all got out and began changing them. In a snap they were all fixed and we were ready to go. That?s when I noticed that the tire Savannah changed wasn?t done all that well. The tire wasn?t properly fixated onto the metal part of the tire. Half of it was on, but the other half was really far to the center of the metal wheels. It looked like the tire was still a little flat, but amazingly it wasn?t. I pointed out the problem to Savannah. She looked at it and said that it looked fine to her. So I thought, well okay if you say so, and once again we were off.
So, we kept on driving and this is when my vision got weirded out. I was looking through a third-person point of view. I could see everyone in the van, including myself, and an amazing thing was, was that I had picture-in-picture! In the top right-hand corner of my line of sight, I could see the tire that was done really badly, and it was in a tiny picture frame box. Still, even though I had picture-in-picture, it wasn?t very exciting?

I was back in Cheney. And it was nighttime once again. I was walking down the street to get to my car. From far away, the car looked perfectly normal. The closer

Four Snakes

This dream is puzzling. I had a dream that I was in my house in PA. My mom and brother were there. My brother, who is 16, was only about 12 in the dream. There were four snakes in the house and I needed to get them out. The one was a rattle snake, another was a black snake that spit out little dart-like things in your skin, and there were two more regular biting snakes. The rattle snake was the worst and it kept biting me. I had no reaction to any of the bites in the dream, yet I was fearful of these snakes. The black snake spit out the dart-like things into my foot. I would grab them by their tails and try to put them in a box, so I could transport them outdoors. Four snakes were hard to keep in boxes with only a piece of cardboard overtop for a lid. I had my mom hold the rattlesnake's lid down for me, while I put the other ones in boxes. I got the two regular snakes outside; the exact yard I grew up in. I don't remember ever getting the dart-snake outside, but a man was siting in my couch and he looked Arabian. He said he knew what it felt like to get those darts in your skin. The rattlesnake was the worst. When I tried to carry the box out the door, it pushed the lid off and bit me. So, I tried taking it out by it's tail, but it's rattler started moving and it stung me. Little bumps, that looked like mosquito bites, came up on my shoulder and hand. The snake fell to the ground and my brother got out one of those snake-handling poles. He picked the rattler up and I awoke.

Murdering Mother

I dreamt that I opened the closet door (not my closet, though) and inside were a bunch of white sheets and pillows. On the inside wall of the closet, there were flies. Upon those white sheets and pillows was a decaying body of a man in a black & red checkered shirt. In my dream, there was a stench. My head must've reacted when it saw a body and flies, saying that if I saw that in real life, there would be a horrible smell. In my dream, I had a flashback. It was either to another dream or was merely part of that dream. In the flashback, I dreamt my mother was dating a man and he was wearing the black & red checkered shirt. He was hitting her and my mother stabbed him with a knife. She came up to me, told me we needed to hide the body and I agreed. We put him in that closet.

Somehow, the police were there and then when they were gone, I was alone in the house, afraid that the ghost of the man would now haunt me. I think my mom was arrested. I was in court all of a sudden and there was a jury. They said, "Amanda is not guilty and Diane is guilty of first degree murder." Diane is my mother's name. I saw the look on my mother's face as if she was accepting her fate.

I was out of there, outdoors, on a highway. I was walking up a hill with other people. In the distance, I spotted a little girl, yet she was glowing. At once, I recognized her as a ghost. She saw that I saw her and walked up to me. She said she and her granny needed help. A glowing old woman, who I assumed was her granny, walked up to us. We all walked to a house, opened the door and there were stairs, not straight up, but almost spiral-like.

I only remember a little of this dream. My boyfriend and I were told that we would have to be beheaded. We stood in a line, in front of that machine that chops people's heads off (the gillatine [sp]?). I told them I didn't want to die like that.

Ghosts in Prison

I dreamt I was riding around along on a hill, smoking weed out of my glass pipe. I had my silver pouch and I was paranoid, because there was a cop on my trail. So, I pulled over and jumped out of the vehicle. I put my pouch in a hole in the Earth. I also had money and it fell in the hole. I put something to cover it up. Then, the cope came, and said I had weed; although I had none on me. He held out handcuffs, but I told him to wait. I bent down and got my money out of the hole, hiding the pouch. I held out my arms and he put handcuffs on me. I was at the Police Station and I saw myself in a mirror. My hair looked layered on the sides. Someone asked me if I needed glasses and I said I didn't. So, I was given some X-Ray or 3D glasses. They glasses made everything look metallic-color. I asked if they had ghosts. They said, "No, except for the one on September 12th." There were about five people in the cell, men and one woman. I was placed in an empty cell, with a padded bench. The woman was three or four cells in front of me; I could see through the cells. A man joined me in my celll and I asked him if he was leaving soon, because I was scared of being alone and seeing a ghost. The man said he wouldn't be staying long. The cell was dark, and I was scared. The man left, so I closed my eyes, trying to block out the darkness, and slept on the padded bench. I had a dream within a dream that I saw a ghost; an attractive man who was solid, but I could put my hand through his body, as if it was transparent. He said something to me, but I can't remember what.

College Thesis

I dreamt that my boyfriend and I were in the same high school (we're both out of high school and we lived in seperate states our entire childhood). We had to do a college thesis to even get to graduate or go to college. I had my bright orange pencil box, but in it I kept notes for my thesis and paper. I remember seeing my boyfriend work in his paper in the dream. Then, he asked if mine was ready to present the next day. I said, "I barely started it." I started to panic, rummaging through my pencil box, trying to read the notes that were illegible. We were somewhere else when someone said, "Those thesis papers are optional." I sighed with relief and my boyfriend said he wasn't even going to do his.

Squirrel in a Box

We were with our friend, Adam somewhere and he was saying how he was going to be in concert with another band. We went to the concert and a lot of people were there. Adam was on stage, but the band already had a lead singer. Adam was doing sort of background vocals, shouts and screams. It was pretty funny. Then, we were inside somewhere and we received a box. My sister was there and so were a few other people. I think Mom was there, too. We opened the box and there were a bunch of cans of Kool-Aid, but one fell further in the box and we heard a scurrying inside the box. My sister said she knew what it was and she pulled out a squirrel. I told her to be careful, it could bite and they do carry rabies. She acted like she knew what she was doing when the squirrel's tail fell off, grew legs and began walking around. She let the squirrel go and it was looking for its tail. I said, "I know what it needs. It needs that little piece of hairball squirrels carry around with them." So, I picked off some fuzz from the carpet, rolled it into the ball, and the squirrel made a cat-like sound. It ran to the hairball and picked it up; it then walked away.

Every now and then I have these weird, bone chilling dreams.

In one of my dreams, the only one that is still clear to me...
I woke up in the dream, my pillow had splotches of blood on it.
So I wiped my nose, feeling something dripping, and it was blood. I ran to
the bathroom, The blood had stopped, now blood was beginning to poor out
of my mouth. Everytime I wiped blood away, more would pour out, eventually
my nose started bleeding again. My entire face was drenched in blood. My bathroom
sink...was filled to the rim with blood.

I had a dream about dead animals.
I'd be walking or in a car with someone, I don't
know who it was(in the car with me)...
but for some strange reason I was in the car
with them. Every where I would go I would see a dead
squirrel.
In the car, a squirrel was running across the
street and the driver almost hit it, and I started screaming
for him to stop.

Later, Out of The Blue, I was walking through an
alley way, and there were rats and they started chasing
after me, and before I could see if they caught up to me...
I woke up.

I had a dream last night about my boyfriend(Ricky), and my best friend's boyfriend's brother(John), who he lives with. We were over at my best friend's boyfriend's house, and Ricky and I were sitting on the back porch on the ground, and John comes out with a REAL GUN. he's trying to scare my boyfriend, and my boyfriend acts as if that doesn't scare him at all. So then John points it at my head. I get so scared that I run inside.

Had some trouble with the site's server, but it should be ok now. Thanks for your patience. I'm working on another redesign, because I'm already sick of this one.

I was fasting for several days prior to having this dream, which i why i believe to be pertinent-as the mullahs say, allah will hear you just as well regardless of if your belly is full or empty, but if you want to hear allah go to the desert with your stomach empty- but anyway: i was running through a quiet suburban neighborhood, which in an of itself is not strange, but every third house i would stop and nail a dead cat to the door, by it's tail. this went on for sometime, when suddenly stand if front of one door was a little girl, who said "please mister, don't hurt my kitty", but i smacked her in the face and forced her to watch as i nailed her cat to the door of the house i was in front of. I'm not a violent person, but i have been having these dreams for some time and i'm beginning to be disturbed by them, i don't know what to do....

SP
Sleep Paralysis
This is on sleep paralysis. It clears up some questions we all may have when we feel that we're pinned down while sleeping, and that our limbs won't move.
