Fucking Nightmares.
    #24010577 - 01/14/17 07:17 PM (7 years, 16 days ago)

So about August/September last year I had a relationship end that was going on for nearly a year. Prior to this I was severely depressed and experienced anxiety which I'll spare why it was, but it was bad enough to disrupt my daily life heavily.

I hadn't been to school in weeks because I was to anxious to actually go. And the first day in about two weeks of avoiding school, I gre me the courage to go, and my year advisor told me I would most likely have to complete a few modules the next year because of how far I had fallen behind. She was rude as all fuck about it even though I tried to explain a rational reason behind it all but she couldn't give a shit.

The bell went for lunch time and I texted my gf if we could go sit somewhere isolated because I was on the verge of crying. As soon as we sat down she started crying and said it couldn't go on anymore, it traumatised me.

Skip a few months to the present. After battling suicidal depression and moderate signs of drug abuse, I've started to get better, I'm not exactly 100% but I consider myself to be better.

Excuse the above paragraphs but my worst issue is nightmares. I can go days without worry about anything at all, and it takes one shitty nightmare about my ex to ruin it everything.

The content of the nightmares are torturing and humiliating, everything that could beat the shit out of my well being happens. My psychologist who I find to be useless and overly textbook sais I can't do much about them, but there has to be something that can help right? I'm seeing a psychiatrist in March who could help me further but what could seriously help reduce them? I have bad insomnia and every now and again take Doxylamine to help me sleep but it increases the chances of having a nightmare so I avoid it. Any considerations? Anything would be helpful.

It seems a lot of us on the Shroomery have sleep disorders or off patterns. I've been having false awakenings and am going to attempt to lucid dream. Maybe you can try too? If you want you can pm me and we can talk about our progress or whatever.

IDK about that kind of thing, I'm more worried about overcoming nightmares than controlling them.

Well not really IMO. You don't always have the choice of having a lucid dream or an unknowing one, and I have rarely had lucid dreams, and when I do there usually short lasting and they have very little content. These nightmares I have are torturous, it can take up to a week for me to recover the emotions they cause. Really I've been thinking about just trying to uproot all of my problems from my subconscious, and maybe that might eliminate them. But I'm more asking the more temporary relief of them.

What's an example of a dream that traumatized you?  What was going on in it?

Well the dreams are always humiliating and there never rational in any sense, and they almost follow the same path every time. I'm with her, we're all cool, talking to each other, hugging kissing and all of the typical romantic shit, and then I'll say something like "I love you", all of a sudden she will start laughing at me, I'll tell her how much her attitude is hurting me but she still keeps laughing at me, and someone like her parents or her friends will come out and tell me to stop harassing her because I'm hurting her feelings, and they always threaten to hurt me or call the police and stuff like that. They never make any logical sense and they always seem to just be there to specifically to bring me down, I'll wake up and all of my shitty emotions come back.

And to goldcaphunter I guess it couldn't hurt.

I say deal with it
they're there for your survival
be happy your pineal gland isn't all calcified out and your wiring all isn't all down to black and white

I find dreams reside if you abstain completely from drugs
when I was like 19 I used to have way crazier nightmares
I mean I still do but only after my body goes through drug withdrawls
withen a year you really shouldn't have either
sometimes they happen just to get your blood circulating

Its funny how some dreams are forgotten as if theyre not important but others are ingrained into my skull. :eek: they must mean something good.

I guess that's true, I mean they could mean something but it just doesn't make much sense on what exactly they mean, just random and unrelated to most of my consciousness.

Start a new happy vibe sleep routine like falling asleep watching funny movies or cartoons. Maybe some "bright" happy visuals before sleep will help you
Maybe some really relaxing sleep music?
Anything to keep you off this frame of mind your in now.
You need to rest with mind going elsewhere.
Best of luck bro!

I know there are reasonable psychological reasons perhaps for this,

but make sure you're getting enough water?

If I am dehydrated I have nightmares all night, usually horrific ones like my guts being torn out by a psycho and I can't wake up, and it feels like it actually might feel.

I drink plenty of water during the day, sometimes too much. I avoid antihistamine sedatives for insomnia because they cause terrible nightmares (Doxylamine).
