With a noose. It was 2:45 after I woke up from the nightmare and I couldn't get back to sleep.

It's one thing to dream that your loved ones have evil personalities, but, incredibly, it was like I was someone else. I dreamt all sorts of other awful things with it, but I won't post them here. The sickest part is, I hung her in my bathroom, went to work, came home, and took a shower as she continued to hang right next to me. What the fuck is wrong with me? Seriously? Wy can't I shake this fear of myself?

At one point, I just stood next to her and watched her hanging with her bloodshot eyes staring back at me, until I finally woke up, sweating. Please help.

Omg hon that's a terrifying dream hope you're ok

Natisse said:

Gee, thank you. I'm expecting people to tell me a sick creep.

Do you think certain medications could affect dreams? I just realized that could be it--I'm on muscle relaxers for a while before a surgery next month, and I'd be quite relieved if that triggered this madness. I had absolutely no remorse in my dream, whatsoever. I'm afraid of myself.

Hope things are good where you are, Nat.

Maybe you really did hang her and you're dreaming you started this thread.

I hope I'm in her will, then. We have the same shoe size and her collection is to die for.

INSATIABLE said:

Nightmares stem from anxieties and worries in your self-conscious.

I think you might be worried about fucking up your friendship with her, and that brought on the dream. Don't worry - you're not ill or twisted - you're brain is just venting its worries in the most extreme way possible, where you effectively kill her and you are to blame. It's not real.

INSATIABLE said:

Oh, fuck.

INSATIABLE said:

you're NOT a sick creep for dreaming this at all dreams can be very symbolic and take on meanings as individual as the dreamer... only you can really unlock the true meaning, hon

as for the medication, bluntly I can't see why they couldn't have some sort of effect... but I know nothing so if that's what you're thinking it is, check it out

I dreamed not that long ago that I stabbed one of my best friends. Right after that I tried to take her to the hospital but they wouldn't take her in, so I carried her to another hospital and she just kept getting more and more pale on the way. It was by far the most horrible dream I've ever had and I can't even remember why I stabbed her.

Since I - nor you, I'm sure - would ever do anything like that in real life, I'm sure the dream is a sign of guilt. We feel like we have hurt the person in question emotionally in real life, and in our dreams our guilt becomes so intense that it is represented by physical harm. At least that was the case for me.

INSATIABLE said:

Well, at least you possess empathy in the dreamworld.

Completely morbid, isn't it.

SureThing said:

Probably because we're being shown the images of Hussien's head in that noose about a million times a day. You heard about that little boy and how he hung himself after that, didn't you?

Spookymuffin said:

Hey, thanks for the serious post on this. I'm glad I started this thread--it's made me feel a bit better. What you're saying is quite accurate actually; I could really do many things to treat her better. It could be simple as that.

What keeps bothering me is how casual I was. I feel like such a monster. My stomach's in knots.

I too was thinking that was probably the reason why she "chose" that particular method in the dream. We're all a bit shellshocked by Hussein's hanging, I'm sure even those who thought it was justified.

Hey, no worries - I once dreamt that I was fucking a pussy that turned black and rotten and started to stink, and I liked it even more. That made me wake up feeling dirty! At the time I was a virgin, and I think it was all down to anxiety about fucking. Thankfully the reality was slightly different.

retina said:

Retina, thank you. I wish I would have shown some sort of remorse during the dream. Attempting to save her life afterward would have made much more sense than the carelessness and lack of emotion I displayed. Your dream sounded horrid as well--our subconscious can a frightening existence.

retina said:

Yeah, it's weird to see all that on tv and online. Almost like it's a movie or something.

I always dream about things I see on TV though, whether it's just a fleeting image that can become the subject of a whole dream, or something more obvious like whatever the top story is about. Everything always ends up in my dreams. Even dumb stuff like Paris Hilton or whoever is in the news the most at that time.

minneapolisgenius said:

I did.

Though I've refused to watch the footage or read any articles in relation, that could have been a trigger. Sure.

INSATIABLE said:

But you must have seen, even if you didn't want to, that image of him being led to the noose. It's on the news non-stop it seems.

minneapolisgenius said:

I haven't seen anything I thought he was still alive

Spookymuffin said:

Jesus fucking Christ. My apologies.


It only gets better. *







*horrid emoticon, innit?

minneapolisgenius said:

Just for a fraction. I close my eyes or walk out of the room. I'm on a news/media hiatus this month, and it feels glorious.

Natisse said:

Wow! You must be typing from under a rock!



No, he's pretty much dead. They showed pics of his body afterward as well.

minneapolisgenius said:

I don't get to watch TV... I should really read a newspaper more often

INSATIABLE said:

I try to do this all the time. It's easier here in Holland than it is in the U.S. where I feel bombarded by "news" all the time. You know, like what Lindsay Lohan bought while shopping the other day and all that important stuff.

As twisted as it may sound

I wish I could have a dream of that type towards one relationship

would show me I was on the road to closure and healing



Hope you don't feel to bad anmore bout your dream hun
