Whats my dream meant to mean i get chased by 2 entities in a dark half way where i get out into a forrest of the abbadonde house i hide behind a bush but i wasnt alone in the dream my best frend was there we both were running away but he went a different way in the end one of the entities tries to kill me or kills me after finding me a last hope that my frend is still alive was all i was thinking befor the end

My mom was placed in a 3 month coma following losing her arm and nearly her life in a catastrophic car accident. She said she was in a constant cycle of nightmares and says the coma was more traumatic than the wreck, she remembers less about the wreck than the coma, and I believe her. A regular nightmare can put a pall over you for a week, i can't imagine constantly for months.

I had a recurring nightmare as a child (think I was 8 years old) that I think encapsulates the point in the video about "confronting monsters" in a nightmare: I was walking up a stone, narrow staircase (like I was in a tower) such that I could not see much beyond what was in front of me. Then a "monster" would appear before me (like Frankenstein or Dracula from black and white movies), and I would retreat and move back downstairs so I would end up in a dark basement. While I could not see much in that dark setting, I felt being surrounded by various monsters and woke up terrified. Eventually, after having this dream numerous times, I thought of turning on a light in that room. Once the light came on and I could see everything clearly, the room full of monsters started dancing around like it was a party. Instead of fear, the mood shifted immediately to happiness and instead of wanting to escape I was enjoying the experience. As an middle aged adult (46) this dream still seems profound to me in that fear is something to be confronted. Instead of presuming the worst case scenario, perhaps turning on a light to the situation (see things clearly) can show that what appears to be initially scary could actually end up being a fun experience. Once again, thanks Eternalised for another thought provoking experience!

Smoke bud daily got nothing at all against it but it’s because weed blocks you from getting REM sleep which is where you have majority if not all dreams

I have had recurring nightmares, night terrors, lucid dreams, and even lucid nightmares on multiple occasions. While i associate a lot of it with trauma, as I do suffer from c-PTSD, i always felt like dreams while not always pleasant were always meaningful. It's like a small universe in your mind, a way for you to speak with yourself, in the deepest and most intimate way possible. While it may not stop the nightmares, I found that loving yourself, giving yourself the acceptance, forgiveness and compassion that you crave from others goes a long way in helping you weather the storm. Be strong, it can get better

Having nightmares was a frequent and unpleasant thing for me. But once I learned to live the nightmare as if it weren't happening, nightmares became extremely interesting. Registering them the moment I wake up helps to soften even more the strong emotions experienced when I was unconscious. I have been doing this and have started to use my own nightmares as literary material for fantastic short stories. What bothers me now is not having nightmares.

One recurring patterns in my dreams is that I always find myself in old hotels or old buildings (mainly hotels) and there are always people from different time periods there participating in whatever is happening in the dream.

As an active lucid dreamer for me entire life, finally reading some of Jung’s work in the past couple years has really helped me make sense of it all. I didn’t know it as active imagination, I called it wake induced lucid dreaming. I do it almost every night. The thoughts and conversations with my own psyche eventually become visual and start developing storylines, usually within 10-20 minutes depending. If you practice this I believe you all can do it as well. Most of the time you’ll be lucid, since you just closed your eyes not long ago after all.

I will never forget this prophetic dream. On a Wednesday night about 15 yrs ago, I had a dream that my good friend said, " I have something to show you." she brought me to a casket containing my ex-boyfriend, who I hadn't seen in years. That morning I told my friend about the dream, as we worked together. Two days later, on Friday, I found out he passed away. Had I not told my friend that morning, no one would have believed me.

As someone avoiding my own nightmares and having been up for well over 24 hours....I appreciate this perspective dive into the mind. Most of my nightmares are about being abandoned, left all alone with just my own company.

I’ve been looking for somewhere to share this true story of mine. Bit lengthy but hopefully should be interesting to some: I ran (drove my car) away from my abusive fathers home in late 2020, come next January I was working just about every waking hour. Maybe for the last week or 2 leading up to one fateful night, I was getting this very frequent reoccurring dream; they could happen every time I would fall asleep in the space of minutes of each other. It was of me falling asleep at the wheel. I would wake up at just the last moment before I would drive fully off course Not only was I waking up in my nightmare, but I would wake up in real life as well. It was so vivid, the transition to reality was so seemless, and given the intensity of the situation without even thinking I would have this immediate almost involuntary reaction of trying to slam the brakes and correct the car back on track - only to realise after each near death experience with real emotions and the bodily reaction, that I had just dreamt that whole scenario, again and again and again. Next thing you know, that nightmare became reality in the exact same way I had dreamt of it countless times leading up to it. Was heading straight into a rail, woke up last second, reacted the same way, but this time the car was actually in motion and the car had indeed been totalled. Made me question every dream or nightmare I could recall. Needless to say I have paid upmost attention to every dream and nightmare since that incident. Kudos to those who made it to the end lol. Stay safe everyone

I heard of a story where this man went into a surgery and the nurses gave him the drug to paralyze him but never gave him the numbing medication. So he was awake during 20 minutes of the surgery feeling every slice the doctor made on him. When they realized he was still awake and feeling everything they gave him lots of drugs to “forget” what had happened to prevent consequences. The guy had nightmares about it for 3 days before he took his own life. He had no idea this was an actual thing he endured but instead a horrible dream.

I never really have nightmares involving me anymore. Its always about something really bad happening to someone I care about and I can’t do anything to help them.

Outstanding!!! I really enjoyed that! Thank-you for posting!

i love your videos man, they’re the perfect videos to have in my airpods while i work, keep making them and keep having fun ❤

I have nightmares all the time. I have no idea why, but I’ve had them since I was little. Of course I’ve had some good dreams as well, but most are bad. Back then they were recurring and nothing necessarily “scary” happened, it was more like psychological horror and anxiety-inducing. When I got older, they started turning into demonic/ghostly stuff, or my fears/trauma. I’ve grown so used to it that it doesn’t bother me. I don’t wake up from them, and when I wake up the next day, I don’t think anything of it, even if it was the most eldritch thing I’d ever seen lol

Uhh.. wow. Thank you! This is THE quintessential breakdown of nightmares and paralysis. Never has there been a better and truer explanation. I have had god awful sleep paralysis for 30 + years and it’s only now starting to slowly diminish.

I have only had one truly frightening nightmare that re-occurred several times in my youth. Walking down a street alone I would look back and see a slender man in the distance. Every time I would glance back again he would be closer to me until I looked back again and he was running for me. In my panic a pipe would open up in the ground and I would slide down it belly first. This pipe would lead to my old home where I would walk up the stairs fearing the slender man would shortly follow me. In the first room up the stairs I would see my aunt lying on a bed with her stomach and chest open as a creature would pull out her guts and intestines. I would be horrified and frozen until the creature’s neck would snap towards my direction and I would close the door in fear I was next. As soon as the door closed the bathroom door on the 2nd level would upon up across the hall from where I was standing. An ugly witchy hag would be levitating slowly towards me. I tried to move again but I was completely frozen this time. I could not move my muscles as she approached. At this point I knew I was dreaming and I closed my eyes saying to myself “Wake up I am dreaming” but I would open my eyes and she was still closer. She was cackling like she knew I could not do anything. I could not even wake myself to leave. Her hair was down in front of her face. When she got to me she grabbed me and when I saw her horrifying face I woke up.

I am no dream interpreter, but I sense a common theme of feeling threatened by feminine characters. Did you ever at some point of your life experience some form of abuse or intimidation from a female? If so, you have a trauma that is now extending into your awake life. You see your aunty but but not your mother. That could imply either one of these characters who traumatised you was either your aunty or mother. If you had a good relationship with your aunty, the scene where a creature is taking out her guts could be an extension of the treat you feel directed towards yourself

And also, the slender-man chasing you, and other monstrosities seem to suggest whatever the threat is, it is one that is still present hence you are not able to attach a specific image on it. You had experienced the character(s) at some earlier point in your life, and have not encountered them again for a while, but know they are out there still. There is however a part of you that wants to confront this fear and move on. It seems to say ”let us accept this and move on with our life” That is why the personified fear is chasing you in these dreams. That part of your personality is calling you to confront it. Recognise it. Acknowledge its presence. The creatures are chasing you but never hurting you directly.

As always great theme, because of your art displayed in earlier videos i got acquainted with painters as Beksinski and just purchased a reproduction of one canvas today 🙏

I only have three types of nightmares now. 1. I’m being suddenly abandoned/rejected by someone I completely trust. 2. Someone I love has died. 3. I’ve killed someone, don’t remember doing it, and I’m about to go to prison. I guess those are my only real fears at this age. Abandonment, dying loved ones, and making an absent minded mistake that I can’t undo.

The most terrifying nightmares to me are recurring. I am often in a city I don't remember doing things that any normal person would do with some things just being palpably off. Some places have random standing water that shouldn't be there. People occupy buildings unfit for activity in droves and don't seem to care about the never pleasant weather. Certain places shrouded in darkness, some of the residents find too much comfort and everything feels like danger. No one is ever harmed. Just the constant feeling of being watched and followed, by entities I can't ever quite fully see and knowing where I am has to have some bad shit going on in the background messes with me. And I hate the way I feel waking up wondering if what I've seen has any type of meaning or if I'm just experiencing a mental break who knows. But I hate whatever city I go to in those nightmares.

I had a nightmare tonight, and it left me pretty shaken up. I don’t usually dream, so it was shocking to me that I had a nightmare, especially one so gruesome and left me feeling emotionally suffocated. This video popped up on my KZread feed shortly after. Everything always makes sense.

As long as I can remember I have had very vivid nightmares and dreams and I can remember them extremely well. This video makes me wanna try to apply the stuff you said to my dreams

When I heard you talk about the ego, id, and super ego, I came to a realization of a dream I had many years ago, and I believe I understand at surface level what it was telling me. I remember walking down a small hallway with someone else. I was leading ahead only slightly, and seen at the end of this small hallway was a vault door that was slightly open. Peaking inside, I seen what looked like a morgue. Dead bodies everywhere, blood all over. And a man in the corner with his back to me, preoccupied with something. I was instantly terrified, and he then turns towards me and started running. All I remember is running away from him. I believe my ego and super ego had come across the id and weren't very happy about this. The id is usually associated with the evil. A sort of devil on our shoulders. I know mine is corrupt in many ways, but I try not to listen to that voice.

The "id" also represents the child - childlike, or infantile, immature behavior. Needy, impatient, demanding, impulsive, recklessly playful, irresponsible.... Naughty perhaps, but not necessarily "bad".

Nightmares and sleep paralysis have plagued me since childhood. Since my father took his life, my nightmares have become traumatic. They affect my emotions when I'm awake. One recurring nightmare I try to save my father but he kills himself, time keeps repeating itself and I always fail to save him. I know he would be very sad to know that his death haunts me constantly

It is to everyones benefit that you are shining a torch on these much more powerful inner works than the outer work that came from ego, negativity. It struck me as such waste of energy.

thanks for shedding some light on my life long night terrors...

Great job I would surely like to pick your brain. Got me hooked on the first video I saw of yours. Great work... ...

I had a nightmare then series of lucid dreams which proved to be very therapeutic and purging. I think the events in the nightmare, signified how I felt about my life psychologically and spiritually. For example, experiencing sleep paralysis and a dream about suffering locked in syndrome, after being drained of blood has quite a simple explanation to me. I felt stuck and paralysed in life, due to my energy being drained. I felt helpless and at the mercy of life. At the time I was actually suffering from anaemia. The following lucid dreams were about taking back my power with the help of others, releasing pain and trauma, and learning unconditional love.

I'm absolutely speechless. The section on the Terrible Mother Archetype really hit something deep in me. Seeing that made me realize that THAT is the elusive pattern that has haunted me my whole life. All my negative dreams are related to the Terrible Mother. Another form of the Terrible Mother that is shocking to me is the Hindu goddess Kali. The patterns and presences I feel in my dreams are absolutely Kali's work. My worst dreams are awful. I actually think I'm traveling to another dimension. Sometimes, when I'm going through some anxiety in my life, I will close my eyes and awake as myself, as my current age, but in the situation I was in let's say, 10 years ago. The thought of going back to a life I grew out of is terrifying to me and has been a big driving force in reaching for success in whatever ways I could achieve it. I confronted my demons, especially Kali and gained an understanding of them. Now, these dreams have disappeared and I feel confident to walk into the future. It is TRULY LIBERATING. Thank you for your amazing videos! I eagerly look forward to your new content!

I hade a night paralysis moment and saw an old woman sitting on my chest smiling. Say what you want but I began to pray. She started to twitch and shake til she disappeared. She then appeared by the side of my bed. I promise you that I just couldn't move but I was wide awake. Terrifying.

Didn’t appreciate how quickly the video breezed by reoccurring nightmares. I had the same nightmare for over a decade as a child. A tall thin scraggly man with long thin black hair would come outof a card board box in the apartment I lived in as a kid. He would pop out and tell me I had 30 seconds to hide. If he found me he said I would die. I would run down the hall go to the left room and hide under the bed. Each time he would lift the bed sheet and see me and then I’m transfer into another dream. I’m telling you this happened every night for over a decade. My reoccurring nightmares now don’t follow such a rigid routine. They do although have current themes. Mainly me saving my dogs life from extreme situations. Gunfire, sinking ships, coyotes, etc. I’m always saving her life, another reoccurring dream is flying off the rails of a roller coaster. Another is being stalked by sharks in various ocean situations. I call it hardcore nightmares because they are terrifying but I’m so used to it now that it doesn’t disturb me so much. I just try to find the meaning

My most meaningful dreams have always started as nightmares Excellent video!

Loved your exploration of trauma and nightmares. I experience nightmares only 3 or 4 times per year at this point, and I appreciate your points about PTSD from 17:41 onwards. Healing our unconscious trauma in a wakeful state makes such a significant impact on our dreamscape - I've noticed this healing firsthand, and also in client journeys. Healing is paramount for anybody who suffers from chronic nightmares - well said.

Every normal situation becomes a nightmare as the worst possibility happens, or it shouldn't be scary yet, I wake up screaming. Trying to re-write the dreams so I get control of them is.... not doing much. I'm not exactly sure what to do. Do you have any thoughts about this?

I get followed and can never get away no matter how hard i try to hide or run, i usually end up getting killed in a brutal manner and then somehow i am once again back in the chase, to then get killed again, head chopped off, impaled on a fence, bee attack, spear through chest, usually i die multiple times each night. Depending on how much it scares me I can wake up but when I fall asleep again for some reason i am being chased by the same things instead of being in a new dream, it can be exhausting I seem to always be running from something or someone, i do enjoy it but it can be tiring and stressful Also when i die a lot of the time i see myself from a grusome 3rd person view and when i wake up i can feel the pain on my physical body where i was hit/hurt

i have always had extremely vivid dreams and i somehow have been able to remember almost every single dream i’ve ever had including nightmares. a lot of my nightmares are pretty traumatizing usually having to deal with abandonment, betrayal or extreme embarrassment and they’re never recurring (but i have had some that will be continuations of dreams i had ten plus years ago) so idk it’s pretty crazy to find out some people have nightmares about doing a presentation

You probably live a relatively boring real life so that your dreams are to compensate on what you haven’t done! Get out into the world and adventure what you don’t know!

this is a great channel You interpret and communicate Jung very well.

I really appreciate the Crime and Punishment dream recap and explanation. I didn't quite understand it on my listen of the book.

The common types of dreams I have include feeling trapped/running away and being caught and loved ones in danger, dying, or have died. Also, the ocean appears in my dreams sometimes because it terrifies me.

I've always had this one nightmare since I was a kid. I'd be stuck in this room and there would be one door to leave. Every time I touched the door I would freeze up and see a smiling face off to the right of my perififreal vision. I've had it enough to were when it usually starts I immediately get terrified in the dream because I know what happens when I touch the door.

I dream almost every night, having night terrors and sleep paralysis for the past 12 months since being involved in a home invasion, while i was asleep, a man in a balaclava ran at me and i woke up as he grabbed me. Experiencing sleep paralysis most nights since. Id wish it on no one. Im aware enough when they are happening now that i scream at myself to wake up, but its an excruciating terror scream. We are so vulrunable while we sleep, its such a difficult thing to try and "cure"

I still vividly remember a nightmare I had at 4 years old that felt very real. I spent the night with my grandmother and in the dream I woke up in the middle of the night to almost a pitch black room and I got up out of bed, walked over to my grandmother's closet which had a hanging mirror on it, what I saw has never left me, looked a scaley goblin with horns and a huge grin looking back at me and it was the same height as me. I woke up absolutely terrified and screaming and my grandmother tried comforting me. All throughout my life that memory has remained and still spooks me.

Have very bizarre vivid dreams often, and they can get quite horrific, but don’t effect me like similar dreams would have when I was a kid.

I experience the same thing as you , my sleep paralysis would happen so often that I learned how to wake up from it , after that I have to stay wake for a few minutes if not I’ll fall back into the paralysis. I never look around I keep my eyes closed and try to move my body to wake up.

This was very interesting to watch, I suffer from sleep paralysis. Sometimes its multiple times a month for months then it stops for months. In my dream I am laying in bed and I feel this thing on top of me pinning my arms down and holding my head sideways screaming into my ear and all I can hear is TV static. I was terrified at first but I got so use to it I would try to break its grasp. I have constant nightmares that don't scare me anymore they are always recurring dreams and I'm always running away from Zombies ( was scared of them as a kid ) After watching this video, my dreams I think are starting to make sense. I thank you for this.

I loved this video as I love all your videos but this one is so special . I have lots of nightmares . I liked the story of that woman around the end of the video who became aware of lucid dreaming and decided to face the running shadow and befrienended him .

My worst experience with this was 1 year ago when I was fresh out of the marines, I hadn’t been having dreams, but out of nowhere I’m sleeping in my bed and I’m forced into a hellish scape and I see one of my old friends from the marines, he had blown his brains out with his rifle 2 years before, and it was horrible, he was still in the same state I had seen him in last, his Kevlar was hanging off his head with 2 holes in it with his brains hanging out of the left side of his head. It hurt to have to see again, so I begged for forgiveness telling him that he shouldn’t have done what he had did and I was always going to be there for him, and his speech was a disgusting gurgle, but he said something along the lines of you’ll join me soon enough Rook, soon you’ll look just like me. It scared the fuck out of me I had no idea what he was talking about I felt fine, never had I thought I’d ever kill myself. Before I could be consumed by the dark fog that was halfway up my body I was yanked away. It was my uncle dragging me away, he died in a fiery accident in 2016 at the age of 21 and I never got to see his face again, but he pulled me to face him and these are the words he said that stuck with me. There are going to be things in this world that are unfair and unjust, but they will never break you, your body is a temple that has been disciplined over the years, your will is stronger than that of the thoughts you may have. I saw his face and it was just like I remembered, there was my uncle looked fit as a fiddle and it brought me to tears since I knew he didn’t look that way anymore, I kept saying his name and saying “I miss you”. The last thing he had said was something I had said when I had been shot a few years back “And with my dying breaths, I become a Phoenix and I am born again” I was then awake my eyes red and my pillow soaked with tears, I got up and asked myself multiple times what the fuck that was all about. I still don’t know, but I don’t think I want to know.

Great Video as always ❤

Nightmares make me feel good It replays scary moments in my life & to me it feels good I feel a “vibe” going back in time

The nightmare that scared me the most, probably because i was young, was basically a never ending black room with one little lightbulb suspended in the middle over a slide (like one of those ladder slides for children). If i walked too far from the bulb i could still see it afar but i could never leave. There was a man with no face chasing me around the room and all I could do is try to escape from him by sliding down the slide or going under, went on for the whole night.

its always a good day when eternalised posts

my nightmares are the only thing that bring me inspiration. whether it's a push to go on or a helping hand with my art. today, i had a nightmare that i believe struck a thirst for life back into me. it sounds silly but i firmly believe the nightmare i had is making me shun the desire to end my life. it's so hard to explain, but everything clicks in my head. here this video is now, the same day. i'll watch this and take it as a sign.

In the early 2000's, i was in state prison as a young man in my 20's. I had a recurring nightmare of escaping prison. It was quite exhilarating & a welcome change from the monotony & constant "on guard" mindset i had adapted to survive. The nightmare was, i would eventually "wake up" to find myself either free or in a dystopian, sadistic prison. Then, once i had "awoken" either in relief that my incarceration was a nightmare, or in great disappointment that my escape from prison was a dream & i found myself yet again in an even more dystopian, sadistic prison. This could go on for 3 or 4 false "waking up" scenarios. It got to the point where when i would actually wake up in state prison, i was relieved that the rollercoaster ride of freedom/sadistic incarceration was over & i found myself in my familiar cell, with no hope of escape or immediate freedom but also relieved to find myself in a prison i had become accustomed to the monotony & familiar dangerous daily ongoings. I still think sometimes i must have been sliding through the multiverse experiencing different realities due to the prison psyche meds i had been given to aid in sleeping...

I still remember my scariest dreams even decades later.

I remember wanting to do a research paper on dreams in a psychology class in college.. The professor said " well Freud kinda did that before and ( basically lead him nowhere)". Kinda discouraged me to learn more about the dream process and the function of dreams.

This is literally the greatest Channel on KZread.

I feel like i don't have nightmares anymore. Maybe it's the fact that I read and listen to so much horror. Things can get stressful, but I am amused or excited at the same time.

I had some of the worst nightmares growing up everyday because my dad forced me to watch scary movies with him and my sister. Haunted me for 2 decade. Now I don’t have them at all

when i was very young ( around 4-5) I had reoccuring night terrors almost every single night. the imagery you used at ( 10:07 ) with the drawing of the owls and the big eyed cats all staring at the back of that sleeping man REALLy hit close to home as this is essentially what my nightmare consisted of. i remember them vividly, as i often woke up quietly crying, paralyzed with fear, trying not make a sound or move or else the "Owl" would kill me instantly. I had this feeling of being stared at on my back. an intense and uncomfortable tingling sensation of being watched. the culprit was a blackened out silhuette of an owl with HUGE red eyes and the tiniest slit pupils. its stare was pure hatred. daggers in my back, too afraid to ever turn around and face it. i am legitimately still traumatized by that dream that i must've had for at least a few months and across 2 different houses. my mom had to take me to a therapist/ spirit healer (????) where she apparently hypnotized me. my mom was not allowed inside in our session, and oddly enough i don't remember it ever happening. ever since then i never had that dream again. but it still haunts me and I still don't understand the meaning of it... i was just a young kid with no significant worries, my life was good... what would cause such a HUGE surge of negative emotions within my subconcious?

I believe in evil spirits, like demons for example. So that would be my guess, especially because as I have grown in faith it seems like I've been experiencing progressively more intense, vivid, and distressing dreams and even a greater degree of difficultiy in waking life.

I truly believe that nightmares and dreams tell a lot about a person, and they are so very fascinating to me. If I attempted to break down all my dreams and nightmares, this commnet would be much too long. This is probably something I must write down in a journal, or only share with those genuinely interested.
