^^ It's interesting that you say focus on how you feel in your dreams. This made me think about my dreams.
The thing is, I would have these extremely graphic/violent/weird dreams, but I never feel anything when I'm dreaming. It's AFTER I wake up then I think back and say "wow that is just beyond messed up."
I don't know when these "nightmares" started, but I think it was sometime in High School, during a time when I was having many problems, along with my family.
But I have dreamed of extremely "disturbing" things that many people probably don't even dream of. For example, there was one dream where I saw a man publicly executed (decapitated), after that his body was still twitching about. And I felt nothing during the dream, it felt "normal" to me, like an everyday occurrence. Another dream that I had was I saw a pig getting butchered alive and then thrown in an oven or something. Again I felt nothing.
Recently I just had another dream where I was standing beside my window in my room. And I looked outside the window, and there were tons and tons of bugs/mosquitoes flying outside my window trying to enter my room. But I felt absolutely nothing, I wasn't scared, I didn't panic at all, I didn't feel threatened. But it was always after I wake up that I would feel extremely uncomfortable that I would dream of something like that.
Do you people or the original poster ever had violent/graphic dreams like I do once in awhile?  |
