Literally a nightmare

[Max PowerParticipant 2721]

I have extremely vivid dreams most nights, always have. It makes sleeping a fun and often bizarre adventure.

Funnily enough, a few nightmares I have had over the years involved me being in a relationship or getting married! Terrifying s~~~, right up there with false imprisonment dreams or being back at school again. I always have a good laugh when I wake up, once the horror subsides.

Just think, a MGTOW can be so averse to a relationship he has nightmares about it, because we all know how s~~~ty they are. Anyone else had similar nightmares (apart from the real thing of course)?

And just fyi, no, the nightmares are not the subconscious result of secretely craving a partner. Been there, done that, quit that hell forever 20 years ago. Life has been awesome ever since.

I had a lot of dreams, most because I take melatonin before bed.

But read about Jung and what he said about the unconscious.

It doesn’t mean that you are craving or anything, the biggest relationship of dreams and your unconscious mind is about how that make you feel about it, so you can connect some dots and understand it better.

Sometimes you find out that you have some deep fears that you didn’t even realized just for taking some time to think about what terrified you in your dreams. Be able do understand and defeat these daemons is what make us stronger.

my nightmares are horrible. usually revolving around a SWAT team crashing through my door and dragging me back to court. Judge F~~~wit sentences me to prison and I am killed in prison, or I am ordered back to being married to my ex, as if nothing ever happened. Somehow the past 9 years meant nothing, and domestic bliss was just supposed to happen. ex c~~~ still treats me like garbage, and she beats and kicks me in the night, just like old times.

sometimes it is the ex, tracking me, and killing me, sometimes it is the Swat team who kills me. i wake up screaming, sweating, rolled up on the floor just all f~~~ed up.

nightmares of being in court again, reliving times i lost, or if i had a complaint and i would lose that petition, pay court costs and lose time with my kids.

i relive the court day where i asked for a lighter child support payment so i could pay down debts was ordered to pay retroactive child support in excess of what i could afford and had to give up my apartment, and a meeting with the c~~~ and my daughter later that day, daughter told me to go away. It was a long 900 mile drive back home, and I had 2 weeks to get rid of my stuff and I moved into a tent for 5 months until found a better job.

I took two 100mg Indica caramel chewies before I went to sleep one night last week after slamming 11 beers.

I had the most insane dream that I joined the Norwegian black metal band Dimmu Borgir on vocals.

And we were on tour & right before a show there was a fan VIP meet & greet and Ceaser & Maurice from the movie Planet of the Apes were backstage and wanted to get pics with me and have me sign some stuff.

Then after the show, the porn chick Riley Reid was in my dressing room professing her love for me and I was like ‘WTF?! You’ve had over a thousand dicks in you. . .And you did a 15 guy blow bang last week for Lethal Hardcore Productions’ But I let her hang and live on my tour bus for the rest of the tour.

(Note: I have no idea how amidst a dream, I was able to get the band’s management company to negotiate me having my own tour bus while the rest of the band and road crew were all packed into another one)

Anyway. . .The dream kept getting weirder until I took off to skydive. And got out of a Cessna Caravan at 12,000 feet and when it came time to pull, I reached back and didn’t have a pilot chute. I immediately went to reach for my reserve handle and didn’t have one either. I was in free fall heading towards death.

Then right when I hit the ground, I woke up with my heart racing on the verge of a heart attack, sweating and looked around.

I couldn’t believe I was still alive and it was just a dream.

When I got up, I pulled my skydiving gear out of a gear bag and checked to make sure my pilot chute and reserve handle were still there.

I’ve had some f~~~ed up nightmares myself. As Solid recommends…Carl Jung is the best for understanding dreams and symbols.

Yeah, about nightmares. This one is about free-fall from the top, bouncing all the way to the bottom getting smashed into pulp. I hate that dream.

I rarely remember my dreams, but I had one so profound a few months ago. I was in the basement living room (it’s fixed, it isn’t your typical dingy basement) walking across the room. Everything was normal except for the floor. The tile floor turned into a swamp and I had to hop on gator heads like stepping stones while there were venomous snakes all around. One snake bit me on the finger and the pain felt so real.
