IamjustsayN, I never had a nightmare that woke me up from my sleep resulting in screams and tears. Last night I went to bed and took pain medication for my shoulder and it was really hard to get to sleep. The medication makes me feel drowsy but I am fully alert. I was reading a book to help me get to sleep but I couldn’t get to sleep no matter what I did. It was 2:30 in the morning and my boyfriend finally came home from work and I told him about my struggles trying to get to bed and he laid with me until I fell asleep. As soon as I went to sleep I had a horrible nightmare that I couldn’t seem to wake myself up from. Usually when I wake up I see the red numbers from my alarm clock and the light that appears from underneath my door and that told me I was awake. I kept waking up from my dream realizing I was still in my dream. Since I had the dream yesterday its hard to put together everything I dreamt about but I remember it being like an exorcist like dream and I was the monster. After many attempts of trying to wake up, I was still stuck in my nightmare. I remember saying in my sleep, “ I don’t want to be a demon!”
And then, I woke up to saying the word “Demon” I was so frighten from the dream I had. I yelled my boyfriends name over and over again and he ran to the room to ask me what was wrong… I told him that I had a bad dream like a child would telling their parents. He told me “its just a dream” and that I should go back to sleep. I explained to him it wasn’t just a dream, it was a nightmare. It felt more like a night terror. It shocked me to the point were I was in tears because I feared the dream so badly that I couldn’t get myself to go back to the dark room alone. That has never happened to me like that before. IamjustsayN that is some crazy $%^* and that has never happened to before! I told my friends and all they said was, at least it was just a dream…thank god!
