[QUOTE="kibbitz, post: 3410118, member: 3723"] Been busy with course material, and I just noticed all this, so let's see... chakken98, Well, I'm thankful that my nightmares come only every now and then. My nightmares generally involve me in some sort of miserable situation and I am not able to distinguish it from real life until I wake up from it, so it may reflect some insecurity or inner fear I may be having about something at that time. I guess it may be a good idea to keep a log of these in future... The thing I find odd is that I'm not aware of anything (at least when I remembered that nightmare) that remotely ties into that, unlike a few cases in the past where I can see a connection somewhere. Olgar, Well, I feel like banging my head on the wall, haven't gotten to doing it yet :p It has been incredibly horrifying at times though... Torm, Well, I'm not sure. I think it's the former specific to the "rough time in my life" bit. I'm not sure how I'd tell if it's the latter at all... GlassJaw, I think so too, but I did give myself to calm down and relax, and I've not been troubled by it again. I guess it's just a random occurence. Ostlander, I've heard of Dr Phil, but I've not heard or seen him :p My place of employment doesn't really offer this, so it's going to be out of my own pocket, and I doubt I can really afford a visit. As to the questions you've posted, 1. Some, sleep patterns have been screwy somewhat recently since I had to wake up quite a bit earlier to attend a recent course and have not been able to adjust well enough. 2. Not really, but have been mostly ill for the last two months and lagging behind work (partly due to sheer load, partly due to illness). 3. Don't think so... 4. Migraines for some time during the times I was ill... okay now, I think... Thanks for sharing, I had something along those lines too but no nightmares then, just horribly low mood and motivation... Simplicity, Well, do you mean recurring in the sense that I get the same ones again and again or recurring as in I get them now and then? For me, they're fairly rare but when they do come, it's horribly intense and I am not able to sleep for a while after I wake. Most of the time, I just idle online after that to find something to take my mind of it. Your tricks sound interesting, but I'm not sure how I'm supposed to roll over while sleeping :confused: I occasionally run a fictional scenario in my head when I go to bed. I then fall asleep after a while. I think my nightmares usually happen when I just go straight to sleep. Heard about lucid dreaming, but never been able to put it into effect. [/QUOTE]
