Nightmares

I wouldn't say that I'm prone to nightmares. However, I should be because of the many things that I make myself undergo and write. In high school, it wasn't at all a problem. Nightmares came very rarely. Any nightmare that I had would simply involve me trying to run away from something, but that was it. I figured I wouldn't really be experiencing nightmares at all.

Lately, though, nightmares have starte dto make a rise every now and then. These nightmares were completely different from any nightmares I've had in high school. Sometimes, I would find myself being bombarded by the negative comments of friends and people I look up to. They would all tell me I am certain to fail. They all tell me that my dreams are hopeless, and that I should just give up. My skills in these dreams deteriorate. In the end, I'm stuck, and I can't do absolutely anything to get out of it. When I wake up from these dreams, I only feel anguish. However, it's only a matter of time before I get back to work on what I want to do. Other dreams that I have also happen to be about very sociopathic or psychotic people. People who try to find every possible way to make my life as miserable as possible. People who desire my attention more than ever and would do absolutely 'anything' to get me. It's a scary thought. Sure, one day, I do hope to become famous. However, not to the point that people want to go to great lengths to even get my attention. When I wake up from these dreams, I make sure to look around. I look at my phone to make sure that everything's okay. This is to all make sure because everytime, these dreams feel so vivid, I might end up finding myself in a reality of it. I don't seek for that, but hopefully, such a thing never happens.

Nightmares I've had before couldn't really compare to what I have now. At times, I do remember in high school getting startled awake. It's interesting how nightmares can also wake you up in an instant without anything else to wake up you like an alarm clock or the sun's rays.

I was very interested on the topic of nightmares when a friend of mine told me about his reoccuring nightmare. He told me that his dream was about his teeth constantly falling out. I went on to research about this, and I found a video about very common nightmares explained. Teeth falling out usually means that there's a sense of helplessness. Sometimes, these nightmares also have more than one meaning. Although, I'm not exactly sure how the meanings are gathered, but it makes sense that a person's situation definitely shows why that nightmare must be happening.

Nightmares have always followed humans for such a long time. It's amazing to think that the human mind can bring up these images in a state where they are only stuck in their minds. I might just write about nightmares again in a later post if I can dive myself more into looking for info about them.
