There`s no explaination for the vivid dreams nightterrors

Kjelete said:

If something bad happens somewhere, like a massacre for example, nightterrors and sleep-paralysis are usually reported in a big scale. They say 1 in 3 people have experienced it based on difficulties in their enviroment also in most countries. Most doctors will say that vivid nightmares when awake is due to mentall illness like scizophrenia. I haven`t really denied that possibility because I can see that most patients who experienced it, has glazy eyes.

But, what is not known is why you experience these nightmares when awake. Some say it`s an adrenaline-dump right before you awaken, I think that is due to the nature of the nightmare, it scares you so the body excrete it. The feeling of heaviness in bed, is usually explained as sleep-paralysis, to prevent you from moving when dreaming.

Why are you awake when this happen, that`s the real question. People see shadows in front of the bed and in door-ways, floating faces moving towards you, they crack teeths also from the intensity of the dream.

I`ve been reflecting over dreams myself a little, and I know that when you dream, you only observe it, you don`t really think about the dream. But when you have nighterrors it`s a little different because you`re awake. What`s your opinion on the subject?

Dreams are one thing and sleep paralysis is another. Not being able move while able to view the room is a scary situation. Additionally, there seems to be a realm present.One may see shadows , feel heaviness in the chest or feel darkness and despair all while one is fighting to wake up!
As a fellow past sufferer, i have come to the conclusion that I am actually in complete control. It was my mind that gave in to all of this trickery. One only need to take control of the situation. Here is what I did , and why I no longer suffer from sleep paralysis.
1) I do not sleep on my back. This can cause oxygen deprivation if your tongue shifts to the back of your throat.
2) If I found myself in a sleep paralysis situation, I fought through to wake up rather than give in to the dream state. Unfortunately, this does require a ton of energy because you realize you are in sleep paralysis and pushing through to wake up is quite a challenge.
3) And those nasty entities can easily be delt with by a simple rebuke in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth .
4) Lastly I refused to be scared. There is no need to feed darkness , darkness.

My thoughts on the matter.

I used to suffer from night terrors. During a doctor’s appointment, he found that I had problems with blood pressure and sugar. Once I started on blood pressure medication and improved my diet, the night terrors went away. That doesn’t mean that it is always medical, and evil spirits can be involved in some cases.

Most doctors do not say that. Night terrors, sleep paralysis, hypnogogic and hypnopompic hallucinations are really common.

This is where the myths of succubi and incubi come from.

This is not true. Lucid dreaming is really common.

Sleep paralysis occurs when we awaken when our body is paralysed (as a normal part of the sleep cycle) to stop us acting out our dreams.

Another situation where this goes wrong is sleep walking.

People who are susceptible to such dreams are likely triggered into having them when they read or hear about horrible events.

I think theres a difference between dream states or imaginings due to stress or trauma. These are usually vague. Though it may seem real at the time. The realness fades and there is a question mark. Its usually irratic, confusing, dreadful or disturbing in some negative way.

I think night terrors come under some sort of dream state that appears real. But can quickly be dispelled as a disturbance rather than anything real.

From what I understand if someone has an out of people experience where it seems they are seeing things from their body (eyes). Like figures or faces. They will usually remember and have a clear recollection. It will usually be an identfiable figure or face. Or linked to them in some way such as an unknown relative.

But the main difference is there is no ambiguity. To the experiencer its not a dream like state. Or a delusional state which is fragmented and its rarely terrifying. Its usually peaceful or enlightening.

But I am not sure if there is any connection. Because for me any dream like state or imaginings about terror are themselves a strange phenomen. The whole area of the mind is interesting and unknown. Whether these strange dream like states are connecting to some other dimension and the negative experiences are fragments of this realm.
