<p>I just want to know if any of you had nightmares too. also I'm remembering some of mine, and for cathartic and probably mildly histrionic reasons I'm going to share one.</p>
<p>one of my worst ones:</p>
<p>Its pitch dark, and I walk down the hallway, and turn to the bathroom, and I find my brother there, who is the sink on his back with his legs and head dangling over the sides. </p>
<p>He whispers to me that he's there for punishment and that I have to leave, but I don't want to leave without him. The situation frightens me. I urgently plead with him to get out of sink but he won't. </p>
<p>Then no sooner does my mom, tall and wild, come around the corner, scolding him violently, and taking him in one swoop from the sink and placing him on her shoulders.</p>
<p>I yell in protest, but then to my horror she twists his legs around backwards snapping them, and then I lose it and cry and swear, and I think he was crying too, and it hurt so much. I was so enraged and powerless.</p>
<p>When I told my mom the next morning she was devastated. The dream was, of course, just my worst fear realized, my own parent doing unspeakable parenting, not any reflection of my mom's parenting at all. Not knowing this, the dream disturbed her greatly. I only learned the reason for it when my brother came up with it one day when he was like 9 (we actually had repeated dreams of this type - this was just one of the earliest and most terrifying ones I had).</p>
<p>Mine are all centered around helplessness. Invisible beings chasing me around, me being unable to retaliate in any form (in all of my dreams, I am unable to punch anything, for example).</p>
<p>Mine have involved getting lost or being unable to keep up with, being taken from, or losing a group. I think it stems from a deep desire to be a part of something, but feeling like I’m not. I was homeschooled and always felt isolated from everyone else. I only had one friend as a child and didn’t belong to any groups. Even after I started joining them I always felt like a detached observer. I still often find that I feel like an outsider.</p>
<p>Walking down a long stairwell. Tripping over the gleaming steps as I walk down to history class. History teacher says OH SHUCKS!!! You have blood on your face. I run down the stairway like a crazy maniac yelling at the top of my lungs. Go into the parking lot. Notice alot of people staring at me like I belong in some type of mental hospital. I go back inside and my history teacher’s like look at your test scores. DAMMNNNNN!!! a 75, teacher throws test away and calls me a failure lol. This is all a dream by the way.</p>
<p>I’ve had reoccurring dreams of teachers killing me. Basically, I’d be walking into class, and suddenly, I’d be trapped in the classroom, and my teacher (it’s usually my History teacher) will end up chasing me until I fall, and he’ll kill me. </p>
<p>I don’t understand why I have these dreams, I have a really good relationship with my History teacher.</p>
<p>…but he has a striking resemblance to Ted Bundy…</p>
It’s like something out of Harry Potter, honestly.</p>
