Nightmares over symbols
« on: Nov 13 2006, 06:07 AM »
OK, I wanted to make a post about something interesting that I think happened thow I'm not really sure about it (its been a long time since I didn't make a post about something like this here). Also, I appologise for the lenghty post as I had alot to say ^^

Well, it probably depends on each case here. In my case, I genearally dream every night and also have very clear and real dreams thow allmost all i have are kind of boring and depressing if I try to remember them here. Anywayz, I allmost never have any kind of nightmares like something to scare me except probably one or two every year. Still, recently it did happen for me to have 2 nightmares in 2 separate nights, one of them being just this night. Still, like I said, its something very rare for me to have a really bad dream, so I thought about trying to understand what casues them when they happen (not that they incomodate me much but I am just curious to know). In the end I think I got an idea about how some of these things might work.

A month and a few weeks ago (I think) I remember having the kind of dream where you just see someone / something scary you aren't expecting suddendly, hear a short scary nightmare song (yes, nightmare songs wheren't invented in games or movies) and wake up. Just a few minutes before going to bed, after my mom upset me with something a little, I thought about making a little joke so I grabbed my red marker and went in the bathroom with it. On one of the walls I've drawn a red skull, broken, full of blood with a dagger in it. Its a drawing I often do when I'm bored and I wasn't thinking anything evil while I did it, just wanted to make a joke to annoy her a little. I've just drawn it like anything else. After I finished that, I went to bed and I remember having a nightmare about something thow I forgot exactly about what after so much time. The next day I quickly made a connection between the two. I thought about the saying that "good brings good and evil brings evil". So I could have dreamed bad after I've made such a scary drawing, also with an red coloured marker. Wouldn't sound too amazing thow as its something I was conciously and willingly drawing and some might say just that the idea or image remained on my mind so thats why i had a scary dream after that.

Anywayz, today I was prooven its even more than just that. Yesterday night I just returned back from the countryside. I was there with my parents for 2 days to fix and do stuff around the house. Yesterday before getting back here I've had my time filled painting a new fence we just made after the older one was broken. I stood around probably 5 hours painting it on both sides and everything. The paint I've used was maroon paint, probably a bit twords red. And of course, after painting for so many hours I did get my hands and clothes painted too. So after I was done, my hands/paws where (and actually still are) full of maroon paint and also a few drops on my clothes.

After all was done, we came back home. I went to bed like alwais when it was late but this night, I didn't actually have a nightmare but a night full of bad dreams. The one i remember best was a dream that was taking place in a small apartment. There where 2 ladies around the age of 25-30 who where talking in a room and both had a boy around the age of 20-22 both. So the two mothers where chatting in the main room and the 2 boys where listening to music and talking too just in the other room but with the door closed. After some time, the mothers realised that there was too quiet in their room and opened the door. Both of the boys where sitting on the bed with everything full of blood after they both cut their own selves and killed theirselves. After that they started screaming randomly. I think I had many dreams of this kind tonight but this is the one I remember best. I wasn't feeling very scared after I woke up thow.

A little interesting problem I had was in the morning when i was half awake. I opened my eyes but was still tired (more then half awake). If I was closing my eyes again my mind was getting relaxed and I was automatically getting something happening in my mind, in todays case something still scary (not something gorry necessary, in dreams scary is usually seeing something you arent excpecting and that is scary in that dream). Also, after this I think that being half awake in the morning doesn't mean not having your physical body & mind fully functioning. It means you didn't come back from the place you are in to dream. Thow this probably means both being in the other place yourself and having your mind not fully functioning (would sound true, as dreaming means having your mind in another place and not having your physical body's mind fully functioning here means being less concious of this place). Anywayz here I'm really not sure.

But anywayz, I woke up eventually and after I got dressed and everything I started wondering about why I had a night full of bad dreams when its something so rare in my case. I thought about what evil things I might have done in the day before but it was a normal day for me. Still I knew i have to have had a source from reality. I let that go untill I saw my hands full of paint again this morning and I understood. The paint on my hand looks exactly like dry blood. If somebody looks from afar now they might even think my hands are full of blood. So is it something so amazing to have nightmares just because you sleep with something that looks like blood on your hands?

It might seem normal, especially in the first case when I have drawn that red skull willingly, so I could have been concious I was drawing something scary (and most importantly what a red skull means as a symbol. Certanly not something nice). But while I painted the fance and got myself dirty with paint I have never for a second compared that to blood or something scary, so I am sure it couldn't have been fully my mind. And if its not the subconcious mind... then can dreams be given after what you did during daythime or how you look while sleeping? They might represent something symbolic if I think about it. In the first case, I've drawn an evil symbol so I got something evil on myself for one night. And in the second case with the paint, thow not willingly, I still had something looking like blood on my hands (if I dont get my hands cleaned I think I will also have more nightmares today). So what do you think?

Scary it is... But what is worse: dreaming your city is infested with zombies and you're the only one normal or dreaming you fell in a dam and drowned to death (feeling the pain as well). I once woke up taking a deep breath and with my heart beatting at scary rates (probably 250 to 300 BPM... Not sure, but was a lot above 200 BPM!). It was right after a dream that I sacrified my humanity (if I have/had any...) for a.... catgirl?! Yes, I did so in the dream... And when I woke up... That feeling... Was like shapeshifting described in horror books...

I had dreams that I was in my city, the sky looked wierd and i had to get out before it was destroyed. I was alwais running end everything and everyone behind me where destroyed (once i dreamed of an acid rain killing everyone and also lava coming over the city). And well the dream with the catgirl sounds really cute ^^ I have dreams I feel as wrong after i wake up too. Actually thest why i say my dreams are depressing probably. When I think about them from here they are not as nice as they probably where while I was dreaming them... not sure why, it probably depends on the mood we are and how we see every dream. Just wish I could dream what I really want to...
