 Can anyone relate to this?
Okay, this first started when I was 13 and I remember the first time like it was yesterday. I remember that I was dreaming I was walking down the street with a friend, it was dark out, then, all of a sudden, I feel and hear this enormous wind blowing all around and right through me. Next thing I remember, I was lying in bed, and I felt this horrifyingly evil presence in the room with me. I felt like I was awake but half stuck in this surreal nightmare. It was truly terrifying. I had to will myself to wake up. When I did I could barely move, my heart was pounding and every muscle in my body was tensed up. Over the years (I'm now 33) it has continued and has gotten worse. It always happens midway through a dream, this wind falls around me, I'm lying in bed I can see everything, the dresser, the window, but that underlying terror is always there. In some instances, whatever this presence is that's in the room anally rapes me. And then, before it ends, I wake up, too terrified to move or breath. I have lost many a night's sleep over this and cannot understand for the life of me what causes these godawful dreams. I now live with my boyfriend, and am more than grateful to have him there when I wake up from these nightmares, or whatever they are. I have told my doctor about it some years ago, but I was much too embarrassed to go into full detail about what sometimes happens. I'm at a complete loss as to what this is, and I was wondering if there was anyone else out there who has had similar experiences. Is it something I'm eating or not eating? I hear spicy food can sometimes cause nightmares, but this is far removed from a nightmare, and I can sometimes eat something as bland as eggs and it still happens.
Any advice or stories you could share would be great.
Thank you.
