Plagued by terrible nightmares I created a program for myself to overcome them (and it helped, but that's another story). I'd just used some self-hypnosis to hopefully help myself handle nightmares better and then ended it listening to Demon Slayer while still in an altered state of consciousness (btw, I'd later sing this song to a little girl troubled by nightmares and she said it helped).

But right after I put on the radio while I got ready for bed and the first song to come on (that they hadn't played in years) was Witches by Switchblade Symphony!

...Your dreams are filled
With blood and gore
Now they're right outside your door
They're gonna get you

A spider's love bite
May find you tonight
Monsters, they eat
Your kind of meat

And they're moving as far as they can
And as fast as they can
Now it's getting hot, hot
Now it's getting hot, hot
Run for water
Now it's getting too hot
Nee, nee, nee, nee, nee, nee, ha ha ha

It felt as if my nightmares were letting me know they weren't going to give up without a fight. I shuddered as I wondered what independent existence my nightmares might have (contributed to a poem I'd later make which I've shared on LL before but the LL search engine can't find it), and if they could make a song come on the radio then what else could they do?

But instead of staying awake all night as I thought of doing I instead quoted Emily Dickinson (a poem that helped me through a traumatic event before) in preparation for defiantly going to sleep:

An awful tempest mashed the air,
The clouds were gaunt and few;
A black, as of a spectre's cloak,
Hid heaven and earth from view.

The creatures chuckled on the roofs
And whistled in the air,
And shook their fists and gnashed their teeth,
And swung their frenzied hair.

The morning lit, the birds arose;
The monster's faded eyes
Turned slowly to his native coast,
And peace was Paradise!

And as soon as I fell asleep I was in a weird, disturbing dream where I was partially in my room, partially somewhere else, and hearing frightening voices talking to me but I couldn't make sense out of what was being said (though I felt like it SHOULD make sense). And then I realized I was asleep but got scared that a burglar had broken in and was slowly coming to my sleeping form. Yet as I realized it was a dream (I asked myself "Am I dreaming?") I used an act of will--though this did take some effort--to pull up the sun until the sun was shining in everywhere. Encouraged, I continued to make changes, and fairly soon I was skating in the bike lane by the beach. I think the dream went into something else from that point, but it was no longer a nightmare.

Encouraged, I continued to work to overcome it and I eventually did.

I was visiting family in Texas again when they then presented me with a guy I'd never met while at a public restaurant saying we were to be married so I could finally stop shirking my duties and crap out babies for the family. As they watched me closely I pretended to be excited and everyone celebrated. Then saying how excited I was I excused myself, sneaked away, and caught the first train back to California while they prepared the wedding.

I have a lot of nightmares. I think most of my 'regular' dreams would be considered nightmares to a lot of people. I'd have to think about what the worst ones are but the first one that pops into mind was the one where I was eating someone's face. What made it so bad was that it seemed real, I could actually taste the face chunks AND I liked it.

When I was a child I actually saw a scene like this on my farmer relatives' yard but it didn't traumuatize me enough to give me nightmares.

I very seldom have nightmares. Nothing scary to share.

The creepiest dreams I've had were: seeing a kid I know on the verge of dying an atrocious death by being drowned in a basin with a sort of green glue (but I was able to save him); seeing myself disfigured with holes in my skin or extreme wrinkles; seeing a pit of hell in the subway with people burning in it; and having to stab/kill people/zombies.

Last night I dreamed that a policeman dressed in a pink robe (it actually looked hilarious, in a creepy sort of way) was running after me and wanted to do me harm but I don't remember feeling too scared, I just ran away and hid in a sort of restaurant behind the checkout and told people not to tell the dude I was there. He didn't find me. Yay.

Ever since I was a small child I've had dreams of a horde of vampires (later they became zombies, at least most of the time). They were monstrous, not sexy in the least. This is pretty much what they're like:

And recalling childhood...this scene (I was 10 when I saw it on TV) gave me the most horrid nightmares that had me waking up screaming for weeks after I saw it (as the headless witch was after me and shrieking heads kept telling the witch where to find me):
