Unusually for me lately, I fell asleep fairly quickly tonight but got woken by a terrifying dream. I dreamt I was in bed, in the same position I fell asleep in and woke up in. I could sense a presence laying over me, he put his arms around me as though to cuddle but soon I realised he meant to hurt me.
His hands were around my neck trying to cut of my airway then I could feel a prodding in my abdomen, close to where I had my operation. It seemed to take all my strength to wake myself up and it left me quite shaky so I had to get out of bed again.
Does anyone else have dreams that scare them like this?

Dreams and nightmares
Sex God
Sassy i had a long time in ICU and the meds did silly things in my head - i feel for you - i still suffer nightmares about the most obscure things

Not these days but sometimes I wake up feeling as though I have been restrained all night and it leaves me with an uneasy feeling, which can last well into the day.
Hope you've managed to get back to a peaceful sleep by the time I'm writing this.
PS Hope it was nothing to do with late evening phonecalls!!

Not at all hunni. Was lovely to chat to you both and as soon as I'm able to drive again, I'll be making a visit for lunch
That restrained feeling you had is exactly how I felt when I woke up. It's scary isn't it?
I don't dream that much at all, although when I do, they tend to be lucid dreams. When I was younger I always had lucid dreams - which was bloody cool!
I do recall that the last dream I had involved people dying around me, it wasn't scary but when I awoke I did think "what the hell was all that about".
Hopefully your dream will be a one off and it'll be all back to nice dreams from now on.

I suffer really bad nighmares, very vilolent ones, always have done, and the worst thng is, when I wake and go back to sleep, they carry on where they left off.
The best thing to do is get up, have a cup of warm milk or do something to take your mind of it all. That's what I had to do last night

I get this all the time- 'sleep paralysis'
I hate these dreams- I'm half awake, well my mind is, but my body is asleep, and i'm kinda drifting into sleep and dreams but still aware of everything in the room around me
I first got this when i had glandular fever then had post viral fatigue, and it tends to happen to people when their sleep pattern is mucked up.
It's also common when you're in/ just out of hospital, again, your sleeping routine is all mucked up.
It really is horrible, terrifying, when i get it, thankfully the 'thing' is never on my chest- it's just in the room, and it's so hard trying to scream out to den to waken me up- it takes all my effort.
I know i'm not asleep cos if i've just drifted off on the sofa, i can still hear the tv word for word, i can still see den etc, but i'm getting the weird scary dream part too- yikes!

I get that a lot and yes it's very scary :shock: You try scream but nothing comes out but you know you have to keep trying to wake yourself up. That's what was happening to me last night
My sleep pattern has been shot to pieces for so long between working nights and hospital and not slept right since. How come I can't remember the nice dreams where I'm shagging George Clooney for all he's worth?

Hi
If you've been through any major surgery, your body has been under the most enormous strain - we underestimate the shock to the body of what surgery actual does (because surgery is so common!). I imagine that all sorts of emotional and mental stresses may have combined with the physical stresses of it all. And yes, medication etc takes a long time to work its way fully out of the body. I am sure (and hope for you) that in time as your body and mind fully recover, your nights will be more peaceful. x
My worst nightmares have alwys been around times of huge stress (both physical and mental!). Good luck.
