How to get ridd off nightmares...help...

Can you buy Nyqul where you live?

Everytime you have a nightmare, in your dream, tell yourself to hit yourself with your shoulder, and then you will and then you'll wake up. Or just don't sleep, like me.

Actually, I'd advise against the Nyquil - at least in "recreational" dosages. Some cough syrups contain Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide, or DXM, for short. In addition to beng a cough supressant, at higher doses DXM works as a dissociative anesthetic, like ketamine or PCP, except it's much less enjoyable.

One time, after drinking about 8 oz. of Robo Max, I was convinced that I could communicate telepathically with the engine of a diesel truck parked along the highway, right before I was transported to a world of dislogic that looked like the Utah badlands, except with more lizard warriors.

For more info, just throw "DXM FAQ" into Google. There's a wealth of knowledge out there.

Oh, and about the drinking cough syrup to get high thing: I was 18 and out of real drugs. Forgive me.

Sorry this doesn't help you with your nightmares. Try writing them down, and acting them out using hand puppets.

Willtupper.. is your Nyquil obsession got something to do with chugging it down like Robitussin? therefore getting high?-- like [b][URL=http://www.erowid.org/chemicals/dxm/dxm.shtml]DXM?[/URL] [/b]

No, Wesley Snack. My Nyquil thing is about taking the dead horse, throwing it to the ground, beating the crap out of it's dead carcass, picking up the crap that I beat out of it's dead carcass, throwing that on top of the dead horse, climbing up to the top ropes, jumping off, doing a flying elbow on the dead horse, eating a Slim Jim, then picking up the dead horse and dancing with it, singing "I'm a pretty lady, I'm a pretty lady" in a falsetto girly voice, then throwing the dead horse on the ground again and beating it some more.

It's about me not knowing when to let a joke go. Basically.

Don't do drugs!

NyQuil seriously is bad. I took some one time, just a regular dosage to get to sleep because I was sick and instead I spent the rest of the night curled up in a little ball covered in a cold sweat and flipping the fuck out. It sucked, really bad. It was about the same way I felt when I took X, except with the X it passed after 10 minutes and I had an awesome night. No such luck with the NyQuil. =\

here's how i've gotten rid of nightmares...and i've had some bad ones...after you have a nightmare write it down. for some reason if you trap it between the covers of a notebook it won't come back again. of course i had recurrent nightmares, so i'd just have a new one later after that. but i noticed that sometimes writing the dreams down meant that the next one occurred less quickly...

if you can, after you write down the dream, look to see if there are at least recurring elements. nightmares are usually your subconscious' way of trying to clue you in to something that you're not recognizing consciously. often recognizing what your body or brain is trying to tell you will make nightmares stop.

of course, dont' eat spicy food before bed. it sounds like an old wives' tale but it's true.

if none of that helps, take steps to reduce stress. i have terrible nightmares that just happen b/c my mind is trying to process the stress it went through during the day. you may want to try talking with a therapist if the problem continues or worsens.

i don't remember my dreams or nightmares, or maybe i choose not to. i am a god of the bland. sorry for the lack of help, wish i could give you more.

Why is it that the gimp from pulp fiction some how is in all my nightmarer. Either it being a starring role or just a walk-on cameo he is always there. it is really starting to get annoying.

i think all dreams and nightmares serve a definite purpose. if you'd resolve the problem in your everyday life, then the nightmares would cease.
writing it down is a great idea... you'll be able to better analyze it later.

"am i the man who dreams he is a butterfly, or the butterfly who dreams he is a man?"

this may possibly be the single most disturbing thing i've read on this forum yet. sweet.

I wish I had nightmares on a more regular basis (or even dreams for that matter.) they give me a strange inspiration for nothing in particular.

Suck a whole baby through a garden hose. Gurgle
Rinse and repeat.

swavroc, you've got a good point, but i had nightmares way before i started smoking...usually w/ me it's because of stress.

Try to find Falme Forte in the homeopathic section of your better supermarkets and drug stores. Goes down easy, actually works and tastes better than valernian root.

man i cant remember the last time i had a nightmare...no help just bragging...

The last nightmare I had was about 2 years ago. I ended up jolting awake, while yelling at the top of my lungs.

It was like 7am, and there was someone asleep in the next room.

whoo, that rocked.

i have nightmares regularly . . . because i am psychologically imbalanced, lucidly deranged, apathetically morose and becasue i am incomplete.

I think that describes 90% of the people I know.

My therapist is always interested in my dreams, and always asks the same questions: what happened to you while you were awake. In many instances, what befell me during the waking day manifested itself in my dreams. Awful and, sadly, I do not wrestle alligators for a living.

I've tried that approach before, but I've never encountered a 600 year old Japanese Cowboy riding a giant koala through a post apocalyptic Chicago, 1:24 the original size, while a sumo wrestler tunnels his way through the earth in an attempt to find the perfect peanut.

I mean, seriously. That one just came out of nowhere.

That actually sounds like it has absolutely no basis in reality whatsoever. Could it have been a Scenic Cruiser Bus, though. I mean, those mothers are B I G big.

...thank ya people...now i can sleep...i wrote my nightmares down and then teared them apart and threw away...it is like throwing away my dreams,the bad ones,it felt great...so again thank ya all for giving my sleep back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i agree i've had quite a couple horrible dreams myself, but sometiems you just wake up exillerated. or am i the only one who sometimes wakes up from a nightmare, heart punding, feeling like theres no gravity and ready to just jump outta the bed and run aroudn the fucking block, and enjoys it? well a bit, sometimes i do hate them though

you're welcome karkamusi.

that whole sumo wrestler peanut thing sounds like its meaning is, no more gradissimo burritos before bed.

but i do think that nightmares, especially recurring ones, have a definite meaning.

LMAO. Oh man, I've had a couple like that. Always good for when you're swapping stories.
I can't remember the last time I had a nightmare. Well, sorta. My version of a nightmare is where, in my dream, I step up to the urinal, whip my junk out, and start to go. It's about that time I wake up with a jolt, try desperately not to piss myself while I search for my keys so I don't lock myself out as I rush down the hall to the bathroom. Now THAT is a nightmare, especially at 4 in the morning.

i rmemeber once i was tellin my friends about a nightmare i had, we were sittin on the street must of been 1 in the morning talking right. and im tellin them and it was a pretty fucking scary story right, and i keep on gettin the feeling someoens standing behind me ( i was hearing the odd noise behind me too) so im tlaking and gettin a stronger sense of osmethign behind me and i wasnt freaked, but i was in a alert state. so i quickly turn aroudn and theres this fucking dog standing there who goes nuts and starts barking the second i see it! fuckign scared the crap out of me!!! the other night too (not too long ago) me and my buddy were out paintballin and walkign home, and all of a sudden this dog jumps out from behind a car and i fucking freak and it starts barking and i almost shot it with the gun lol, then the master showed up and asked up to chase it but i ran towards it with a kicking motion and it ran away

The worst nightmare I've ever had was a vivid one that consisted of me wandering through... somewhere, it didn't matter, but the entire time I was wandering, I was gritting my teeth, harder then is safe. So much it hurt, and while I was doing that, I knew I was doing it in real life, and if I didn't stop then I might wake up with blood stains on the pillow. But I just couldn't stop gritting my teeth, in such a way that I knew I was nearly bending them out of position, in the dream.

Yeah, my teeth felt really fucking wierd when I woke up.

I've had that dream. And you struggle to unclench your jaw but it won't.
Then you wake up and your body is half-slopped off the bed, your face digging into the carpet.
Meh.
