Caelix,

There are viral videos on the net that can look real but they are not. I am sorry you got curious and ended up getting triggered badly. Remember, this is your own mind and you need to take care of it so that means making decisions to not expose yourself to things that might leave your mind confused and frightened. When you do struggle the way you are describing you can make choices about what is actually a danger to you verses something that has nothing to do with you and isn't something you have to worry about personally. Having bad dreams is simply because your mind doesn't know what to do with what it was exposed to. It's important that you don't just assume that means you need to continue being frightened or that you are in some kind of danger. Also, when it comes to this 3am time that you struggle, well, this is a very common time when a person experiences rem sleep and dreams. This is something "fiction" writers have used as some kind of bewitching hour, it's important to pay attention to that one word, "fiction". You have more power than you think when it comes to believing and making choices to not get involved with things that are meant to scare people.
Thanks for this!
