NWR: When will these dreams stop?!

N.C.DoubleYou · July 2009

So ever since DH and I moved into our new home, I have been having weird, slightly troubling dreams.....okay, maybe slightly troubling is putting lightly. These dreams are graphic, morbid, and exhausting. I think it has something to do with the house, as other weird things have been happening since move in. DH thinks I'm nuts. My diet hasn't changed, nothing too dramatic has happened in our lives lately...I can't put my finger on anything in particular. Has anyone experienced anything like this? Has anyone actually seen anyone for something like this? I'm so tired!!!!! **Yawn**

There's only 1 explanation - your house is haunted.

mwhitson14 · July 2009

I've always had very graphic and morbid dreams in my parent's house, they all but stopped when I went off to college. I have night terrors, but I don't know why they stop when I move elsewhere. It's really odd.A house haunting is a possible explanation, if you believe in that sort of stuff.

I think I have to agree with sunflower.

I had weird dreams/troubles sleep when I first moved in to my new place. It went away after a while (3 months?) Do you have curtains up in the bedroom yet? Light shining in on my room always gives me crazy dreams. Your body probably needs to adapt to the new noises too.

I get night terrors as well as weird dreams. When I had my condo, I often dreamt that people were talking to me. That's the only place it's ever happened, and I often woke up feeling it had really happened. Oddly, it was often dead relatives...

BecW2be · July 2009

What sort of other weird things have been happening?

N.C.DoubleYou · July 2009

I don't normally believe in "hauntings", but since moving in here, I have been hearing A LOT of strange noises. Like I swear I hear my son laughing in his crib when I put him down for a nap, every time I take a shower when I'm home alone it sounds like there's a group of people in the front room walking around with boots on the hardwood, and there's a loud pounding noise that comes randomly from the attic. We've had someone come check for rodents but they say nothing is up there and that for an attic, it's super clean. I don't know.....maybe I do need to get used to the home but it's been 9 months now.

There's an eHow on removing spirits from your house. Seehttp://www.ehow.com/how_2228496_remove-haunted-spirits.html

BecW2be · July 2009

Yikes! I used to be skeptic too, until my last house. Are you rennovating at all?

jessjo04 · July 2009

My dads house was haunted when they gutted and re-did the kitchen. Nothing before, nothing since. Guess the crazy old ghost lady liked how the kitchen turned out.

N.C.DoubleYou · July 2009

Nope. No renovating. As weird as it sounds, I'm okay if there are "sprits" here. They haven't done anything mean or malicious. I just would like to get a full night's sleep without dreaming of something gruesome!

N.C.DoubleYou · July 2009

ac - it's weird how they say that spirits can manifest on your inner anger. I had never heard that before....I wonder if I'm angry...inwardly? Is that a word....I don't think so....

BecW2be · July 2009

I believe it. I ripped out a bathroom and completely redid it from the ground up in my old house and that's when things went haywire. NC, maybe you can say something out loud before you go to sleep and it will help? "I don't want bad dreams tonight. Please leave me alone." Couldn't hurt...

Pirata13 · July 2009

moose--when you lived at the condo, did you feel safe there or was there anything about it that made you feel uneasy/unsafe? Just wondered since the dreams were mostly dead relatives, if maybe they were "watching over you" or trying to make you feel more safe? My dad dreams about both his deceased parents. When he dreams about mu grandpap. it's always like it was in real life--sitting and talking, working on the house, etc. Where when it is my grandmother, they interact and talk, but she always has to "go back". Like she knows it's just a visit but she's checking in.

N.C.DoubleYou · July 2009

I think I might try that tonight.....Michael will most def think I'm a nut case, but whatever. He already married me

wadingmoose · July 2009

I felt safe there actually. It was the condo I bought after my divorce and I'm not sure if that had anything to do with it or not. Sometimes I'd wake up feeling like they really needed me to know something but I didn't know what it was.I have learned that for the first few months, my ex husband used to drive by occasionally. I also dated at least one guy who admitted to somewhat stalker-ish behaviour as well.

kwilson02 · July 2009

I've had the most terrifying night terrors since I was as little as 5 years old. I still remember a dream from when I was 5. I don't think I have ever really had a good dream. They've never went away really.

wadingmoose · July 2009

If I remember right, it was also right around my ex-husband remarrying and my grandmother dying that the "dreams" seemed to peak. They weren't much of dreams though, I'd just wake up feeling like someone had been there and they were trying to talk to me.

wadingmoose · July 2009

Me too kwilson. I had a dream that there was a demon in my closet. And not a cute, fuzzy demon like a kid my dream of... no, we're talking ugly and reptilian. That and I once woke up firmly believing there was a portal on my wall. Not that I knew what a portal to anything at that time was, but I vividly remember a black swirling vortex on the wall.Due to the house we were in at the time, I would've had to have been under 7 years old.

BecW2be · July 2009

I woke up one morning and my Ex was standing at the foot of my bed. I wish I'd had a dream warning me of it! That was the day I changed locks and threatened that no one would ever find the body if he ever did that again. It terrified theshit out of me.

kwilson02 · July 2009

Yeah the dream I remember from when I was 5, was my house was burning down and so was my neighbors (where my best friend lived). My dad tried to save my sis who was trapped upstairs. Long story short, my sis didn't get out and she burned to death along with my best friend. Those are my dreams. People usually die, usually people I know, sometimes people I dont know. My FI always says my dreams remind him of the nightmare on elm street movies, kinda true haha.Moose, FI had weird dreams like you when he was little too, mine were and still are just morbid.

N.C.DoubleYou · July 2009

I can't even talk about what mine entail. It's too much to even think about.....It's pretty scary though and a little traumatizing. I just hope they go away soon!!

wadingmoose · July 2009

My more recent dreams involve snakes being dumped on me, people hiding in my house, people breaking into my house, giant cartoon turtles (seriously) gophers, giant spiders, etc etc etc.I also have a lot where I wake up panicked and I don't remember a thing.

J&K10910 · July 2009

This whole thread freaked me out and gave me goosebumps.I had a period of time during my freshman year of college when I was having really vivid, morbid, horrifying dreams. I would honestly wake up in tears, drenched in sweat, terrified to go back to sleep. They all involved things like me killing someone (usually people I knew), me dying, someone trying to kill me, etc. I did a little research and self diagnosed myself with having REM rebound nightmares. I took a weekend to do nothing but sleep and relax and they went away.Basically I was so sleep deprived that my REM sleep was trying extra to be long and good when I did sleep, or something. Somehow that supposedly causes these horrific dreams.

Button5807 · July 2009

i can't explain the laughing son but I have experienced the attic noises and the shower thing, turned out to be a loose shingle and pipe noises, respectively.

kissybee · July 2009

I get nightmares about natural disasters when I'm stressed out. And when I'm in a new place, I tend to sleep walk (which was awkward when I went backpacking and was in a new hostel every couple of days...) If you're hearing strange noises in the day, you're probably either still hearing them at night, or you're still thinking of them. Either way, once you get used to the new noises (and smells and shadows) of the house, your brain will calm down a bit.

Pirata13 · July 2009

Holy crap, some of you girls have some scary a$$ dreams! I would be freaking out too. Bec, that whole ex at the foot of your bed is FREAKY (made more freaky by the fact it was real, not a dream). I had an ex like that too. That when we broke up I told a couple people who I could trust that if anything happened to me, they knew whose name to give to the police. I still had major anxiety recently that he will show up at the wedding (I feel like if he did, it wouldn't be good). But I've really worked on not thinking like that. But scary shiit. My grandfather (deceased) made it clear to me via a third party that he knew I forgot to lock my apartment door sometimes (usually trash nights) and that I needed to stop doing that. My concerns about said ex made me concious enough after that to make sure it was done. I don't know that since then I have forgotten to check and doublecheck the lock.

katiewhompus · July 2009

sh*t Bec, that would freaky scary :(I had a dream last night that my chiller (a mechanical part) at work broke. I didn't want to get it fixed because I thought it would cost too much, and then all of my fish tanks filled with black liquid and the guy who fixed them was like "oh the chiller only costs ten bucks."I go to work today...f*cking chiller was broken! Now my store gets to pay a lovely $2k for a replacement...grr stupid dream.
