Why do you often have terrible dreams that you wake up from? This is the fifth night in a row that I've been having the same nightmare.

I was 19 years old and had the same nightmare over and over for a year. There was nothing remarkable in this dream - I was standing in the room, talking to my mother, and suddenly, out of nowhere, a small black dot appeared. It began to grow and grow until it filled almost the entire room. She pressed me against the wall, I began to suffocate and immediately woke up.

I didn't tell anyone about this dream. I was scared. I tried to find an explanation for this in the dream books, but there was sheer nonsense. Sleep tormented me. I woke up completely exhausted both mentally and physically. I dreamed about him from time to time certain days. I marked them in the calendar with red circles. After two or three months, I realized that I only had a dream on the 6th, 15th and 24th of the month. This somehow eased my suffering - at least I was ready for them. As I said, I had a nightmare for about a year, then it stopped as abruptly as it began. I was happy. Finally, I could live a full life again.

Two years later, the nightmare returned. He became more realistic. The black dot grew in the same way in the room, absorbing everything around. Now I have some unconscious fear. I screamed in my sleep and tried to leave the room, but there were no doors in it. Mom just disappeared from sleep. She died a year ago in an accident. Now I am left alone with my fear. I began to have a nightmare not three days a month, but almost every day. I started to go crazy.

One day I realized that I could no longer carry it in myself, and went to the doctor. He listened to me carefully, wrote down something in his papers, gave me a prescription with some pills and sent me home. I immediately went to the pharmacy, hoping that the pills would help. When I got home, I locked myself in my room, took two pills and went to bed. I didn't have a nightmare. He didn't dream of me for a whole week! I soared in spirit. At the second appointment with the doctor, I wanted to sincerely thank him for his help. But when I came to the reception, I was met by some elderly lady. When asked where my doctor had gone, she replied that he had an accident yesterday and that he was no longer alive.

That night, I had another nightmare. This time, the black dot nearly crushed me to death. I woke up with my father shaking me by the shoulder. He woke up from my screams.

The days of torment dragged on again. I didn't know what to do. I took pills, but they did not help. One day, succumbing to weakness, I told my father everything. My father sincerely sympathized with me and promised to take me to a good clinic. But that night, the nightmares stopped again. This went on for two weeks, until grief burst into my life again - my father died. He was stabbed to death by some drunken thugs. And the nightmares are back.

Then I realized something. As soon as I tell about a nightmare to one of the people, I stop dreaming about it, but that person dies. Now I knew how to get rid of it. I began to tell it to those whom I hated - this relieved me of torment for a while. But people paid for it with their lives. It was like I got a real Death Note.

But I'm so tired... I want to end it all at once, and I know how.

I told you about my nightmare. Today I will sleep peacefully.

Hello! My name is Luda. I am 18 years old. For the fifth night I have the same nightmare, but with different people. I study and live in a hostel. She started dating a boy and began to spend the night with him. 24 hours I am with him and his neighbors in the room. We do everything together. His neighbors, Andryusha and Vova, became my family. I loved them very much and they loved me. Five days ago, I had my first nightmare involving them.
Large meadow with green grass. Nothing but grass. On the one hand there is a dense forest, and on the other - a cliff. The time is late afternoon as the sun sets. In the middle of the clearing is a large black tub. I'm standing in front of the bath. I'm naked. And in front of me are Yura (my young man), Andryusha and Vova. They are wearing black suits with red ties. Yura comes up to me and, pulling my hair, throws me into the bathroom. And the water is cold, even icy. The boys just stand and watch. Then he starts to drown me in this bath. When I'm already choking, I wake up.
The next day the nightmare is the same, but Andryusha is already drowning me. At first, he hugs me tightly, strokes my head, and then throws me into the bathroom and starts drowning me. When I choke, I wake up.
The next night, Vova drowns me. He goes around the bathroom. It turns out like this, the boys are standing, then I'm naked, then the bathroom, and then Vova. He grabs her by the shoulders and throws her into the bathroom. Then everything repeats the same. Each of them drowns me in different ways.
On the fourth day I had a nightmare at ten o'clock in the morning. Didn't sleep at night. Yura and I spent the night in my room, and closer to nine, when the boys had to leave, I moved into their room, because I really wanted to sleep. I fell asleep. Same nightmare. The circle is repeated. Yura drowned me. The boys wanted to wake me up because I was crying in my sleep and choking. When I woke up, I realized that I was terribly thirsty. The mouth is very dry.
Now it's time to go to bed, and I'm scared. I'm afraid to fall asleep. I don't want to go through all this again. But since I didn't get enough sleep, I had to lie down. I think I fell asleep quickly. And again. The same nightmare. Andryusha drowns. They alternate. One day Yura drowns me, the other - Andryusha, and the third - Vova. Only this time it's different. I felt how he stroked my hair, how he inhaled their scent, how he smiled. I could even smell his perfume, even his warmth. I tried to talk to him, cried, screamed, begged not to do it, and he just stroked his head. Then he pushes me away, I fall into the bathroom and he starts to drown. I woke up in a cold sweat. She didn't even wake up, she blew up. It was very difficult to breathe and my heart was pounding terribly. I immediately panicked when I saw the boys in the room. Started crying. My mouth was very dry and my whole body ached. After about a minute, I realized that this was a dream. And ran into the corridor to smoke. Shakes terribly. I'm hysterical. Although I understand that this is just a nightmare, I am terribly scared. I'm afraid to fall asleep. They are so realistic. I'm afraid it will get worse. If this time I felt everything, then I don’t want to know what will happen next. I'm afraid I'll go to bed and suffocate in my sleep. I start to panic from the rustles, from various sounds, just afraid of everything. All thoughts are filled with only this. Maybe I've gone crazy? Maybe you need to see a doctor? I'm very scared... Please help...

Hello! I hope for your help on my question, since I did not find situations like mine here.

The fact is that for 4 years I periodically have nightmares. The plots are repeated the same, there are three of them in total.

In the first, my teeth crumble and I spit them out.

In the second, I go to the door of my apartment and find that it is open or broken, and I am very scared, because I understand that someone is behind the door. Someone very scary, he represents for me the embodiment of something the most terrible, and as if this horror is coming and coming at me, at this moment I scream, and my husband wakes me up as a rule. My husband says in the morning that I screamed or moaned, howled, he is also afraid for me, calms me down. i wake up with wet hands, heartbeat from these nightmares.

But sometimes there is a 3rd plot, this is the worst thing for me: the fact is that I usually realize that I am sleeping in a dream, so I start screaming to wake up, and sometimes I don’t wake up, but fall into sleep paralysis. that is, I have the feeling that I woke up from a nightmare, but in fact I again immediately fall into a dream, and it is very, very real. For example, I feel that my husband is sleeping nearby, but at the door I feel the same dangerous horror, I start screaming, and my husband covers my mouth with his palm and says: "You had a dream, no one is here." I start to break out in my sleep, I want to run away, but I can’t. because of such dreams, it generally seems to me that I will soon wake up gray-haired.

It is worth adding that my dad also has constant nightmares, but until recently I did not know about this, only recently I found out that he had the same old abandoned house in his nightmares. Sometimes he also screams at night. Maybe this is a hereditary deviation of the psyche, and you should not worry? I won’t say that I’m very afraid of these dreams in reality, that is, I don’t have fears of falling asleep, I simply take them for granted (except for sleep paralysis, this dream is the worst! I think that it is he who is able to shake my psyche ).

I apologize for the excessive detail, I don’t know what information can be useful for you to answer ... I would like to ask: do I need a face-to-face visit to any specialist, or are my worries in vain? Thank you in advance for your reply!
