Dream made me sick

[Al Today]

Lately, I've been have many dreams of a cleansing nature and/or perhaps as an awakening to myself and/or surroundings. Afterward I would ponder a given dream and begin to understand what was meant. Tonight was different. One dream event was so twisted, sick, and vile I have been shaking and physically ill all morning. I can understand dreams can bring up items from deep within to the surface. But this has left me physically shaken. This was so sick and twisted against how I feel about things I dare not even discuss the events. I feel as if I am staring fear in the eye as I write.

Has anyone else had illness put upon them from a dream? I know this will pass, but this is almost traumatizing...

And then, two nights ago I had another strange dream. A dream within a dream.

In the dream there was "something" in the bedroom. I tried to speak but could not. What I mean was I knew I was in a dream and knew something was stopping me from communicating a warning out of the dream. Some kind of consciousness wall so to speak. I then woke up to see my wife loading her gun. I picked up my weapon and told her to call the cops. This scared the hell out of my wife because I was saying to call the cops in my sleep. She promptly woke me up outta that two(2) level dream. Weird. Seems like I recognized the dreamstate and was trying to have an awake state at the same time.

Oh, I've also been having those alien invasion dreams again.
And... another recurring dream where I'm in some school, but always lost.

What bothers me is that they are almost lucid like and "feel" so real. Things coming to a head? The wave closing in? Something I ate? I just gotta ride through the storm and try to understand, or let it go.
Sorry for this rant but I just had to get this out.
Makes me wonder what comes next?

I can remember a dream where someone tried to put their illness on me but I have experienced this in person also. In my case it didn't work because I recognized something in the dream that seemed artificial or just not right, even for dream state. I have had dreams which try to steer me in the wrong direction or stimulate fear or other negative attitudes or feelings. Are you feeling better now? I usually deduce that dreams of this nature are some kind of Psychic attack or attempts by the predator to gain control or keep it. I'm sorry you are not well.

Dream sickness? No, but as of yesterday, my dream was one
of several where I appeared in a scene, and was frantically
fighting off "something", my fists and feet flying (in bed) and
at the climax, woke up a semi-awaking state realizing I was
close to beating up my spouse due only to the closeness and
proximity to me.

I have NO IDEA why/what I was fighting in my sleeping state,
but due to the semi-awaking state, I vaguely/eeriely recall seeing
something veiled behind the scenes, but lost most of the details
because I quickly fell back into a deep slumber.

I was deeply annoyed at the whole episode, but mostly conerned
about hurting or harming my spouse due to flying arms and legs
while in this sort of sleeping state of my(?) predator. This is not the
first time I have had these episodes, as I have found bruises on myself
as well as on my spouse legs at least 2 or 3 times in at least 6 month
intervals so far. It is creepy and somewhat scary to realize one's body
can be the very animated actor, in the dreamscape...

I'm sorry you are not well.

Thank you opossum. The more I can think on this subject the more the "sickness" leaves. Like they say, there is good, there is bad, and there is the perception of what makes good & bad. My first post I talk of sick & twisted. To others it would not be. I am shocked that the dream was so "real" and the emotional shock state that ensued. So the drama unfolds on what I perceive versus what is.

Hi Al.

Some time back, I've awakened with memories of dreams that have had similar effects on me. I've also remembered dreaming of dreaming. I never figured out why or what any of it was about, but I did finally come to two conclusions: 1) Most of the time, the visuals weren't as important as what emotions were coming up and being processed. For example: a "sick and twisted" dream can mean that emotions related to buried perceptions of how "sick and twisted" the world is may be coming un-entombed in the psyche, so-to-speak. 2) The likelihood that these kinds of dreams may actually be more frequent than I suspect, but that on the occasions where I remember them, it's because my awareness was floating around in that transition state between sleep and wakefulness for some reason.

The best way I've found to make unpleasant visuals disappear on command is to simply try to look at them directly in the mind's eye. That technique seems to work to stop thought loops too. :) I don't know about feelings of sickness though, but I'd suggest to take it easy.

As I think, I am coming to see this is what is happening. The visuals are minor to the emotions and the reasons for them that come forth.
Thanks Bud

I also know about alien invasion dreams. I have had them since I was a child. They are aweful. I hate those dreams. The fear that is in it. (but I do not know how you persieve those dreams).

The worst of them all is that I look up to the sky and I see the sky filled with flying objects of an aliens origin. Then I know that the time has come, invasion. Take over by aliens.
I have had this dream since I was a child and the dream comes back so now and then, but I am always again a child when I dream this. But the weirdest is I feel right awake in those dreams. They seem more real than real life. So intens (that can also be the reason of why they feel so very real, just the intensity of the dream).

I always saw a short of connection between those alien invasion dreams and intruders coming into the house dreams. Both seems violations and are very scary. I just thought that those dreams are some warning.
As I child I also dreams about people coming into the house. Waking up and seeing strangers in my bedroom. Very scarry.
Now I always dubble check the lockers on the door to be sure no one can get in. If I forget to check, the fear becomes real in my dreams, and people break into the house. My biggest fears always become real in my dreams. I know this, but it is hard to overcome your fears.

I hope you find the right meaning of your dreams, so they can teach you something about yourself and your life.

best wishes
Sandra

During one if my stays at a monastery, a female retreat partner had a very strong nightmare, and when she asked the Ajahn about it, he said that often certain memories and experiences or processes get repressed until we are subconsciously comfortable with going through the thoughts to purge them. It is possible that this sickness and vicious emotional state came about because you are becoming sufficiently relaxed within, allowing yourself to finally explore these issues in a safer environment.

I can't recall waking up sick from dreaming before. The closest incident is one in which I told my ex --or to be more accurate his characteropathic roommate/girlfriend-- that I was over him. I woke up then, and my right eyebrow would not stop twitching for 20 minutes. Mysterious stuff, the mind-body connection.

Hi Al

I can certainly relate to this experience and have unfortunately had about half a dozen of these dreams in the last 18 months or so. My own take on these experiences are that they are some kind of 'interference' from the 4D STS gang although I could be wrong about this and have also pondered the possibility that they may be experiences from past lives or even an amalgamation of the worst aspects of different lives.

As you say, they leave you feeling traumatised, disgusted and in my own case, just in a state of shock and fear that my own mind could even encounter images and scenario's of such a horrific nature. As Bud mentions, whilst the images may be horrible, it's the distinctive 'flavour' and emotions of the dream that leave such a sense of illness afterwards. I don't know if you'll agree but upon awaking from these experiences, you can't even say that you've had a really bad dream. It just feels like so much more, an entirely different phenomenon.

If it's any consolation, I've found that the feeling of illness and distress after these dreams certainly disipate with time and whilst I have these 'dreams' every few months, they seem to be getting less powerful and I am generally more equipped to deal with them. Personally, they seem to occur also in periods when I've been slack in the work, complacent and not doing EE etc.

I hope you can stay strong at this time and you'll be in my thoughts

I've had dreams like this, where you know you're dreaming but can't wake up due to some evil presence. It helped me to keep the bedroom cool/cold, and being determined in my knowledge of this being MY dream, and gradually taking control over it and waking up.

I got to be sick about two dreams that just blew me away.

I'm not sure I've ever had a dream at that level of intensity, but have had ones that have left me physically/emotionally shaken, even occasionally waking up crying.
Its possible you are seeing some part of yourself that had been in charge for some time....which is no longer in charge (so much). A self destructive side perhaps?

I know food can bring these types of dreams out, so may be best to double check nothing bad is sneaking in/causing inflammation.

One other possibility is that there is something 'in the air' because my dreams have been pretty chaotic recently (not exactly direct 'fighting' but close). A few nights ago I dreamt of being chased (alien invasion style) along with many others by a massive worm (like the film Tremors) that came through walls and up through the ground.
I woke up feeling very annoyed with myself for running (running dreams where something I had for years as a kid/teenager), and thought of the book Dune where they ride the sand worms. And for once in my life I fell back to sleep and right back to the dream, and between myself and a friend we captured the worm/harnessed it and rode on its back!

Hope you are feeling better Al.

Yep, this has been an emotional release of accepting what I think won't happen versus what can happen. This follows the line that All is Possible.

This was a shock confronting judgmental bias. There are many thing on this BBM I do not agree with and obviously I'm not as accepting of what is (can be) and am not as open minded as I thought. Even perhaps this shock may be of preparatory nature that if indeed many "worlds" do merge, what another Al (or something) does won't freak out this Al, to a lesser extent anyway.

Perhaps this was a merging - in so far as you rejected (literally physically) that path? It may explain the previous dream within a dream (it reminded me of when Laura talked about the eclipsing of reality). Our position in the universe requires a choice, and rejection of certain paths are part of that.
You have to be able to see the path (to some extent) to reject it though.

I'd take these dreams as a good thing, but if they persist check your diet for inflammatory things.
