...I've had enough of them my overcooked mind delirious from the meaningless day accumulates energy from me from my memories from my undone and overdone neverdone maybedone wish I done and done...mixes it all together while I lay...weak I have no defences while I sleep!

dreamland is the infinite pit the ultimate sky it's not me who decides to fall into it. ..where the biggest lizards come for me



I have proved to myself that my body does not need to rest!...it's my mind that collides with fatigue first... it manages me.

1000 times more happens to me when I sleep I avoid it because of this all I want is to rest damn it!

amplified personal haunting... phantoms breathe on my neck demons sit on my chest...same old routine

it's nothing new...sculptors spent hours depicting it...



we covered our structures with gargoyles to protect us watch over us they never sleep!



it's pretty nasty stuff...to experience..the true nightmares...virtual soul beatings in the fantasy land



but it's just a bad dream...

apparently

Difference. As george Watsky says, "The difference is in the differences."

You have nightmares - those dreams that reach out and grip you in fear...in terror. The average nightmare is our inability to face our darker sides. It's our fears personified, amplified, and brought to life.

Then you have night terrors. These are recourring, CHRONIC, nightmares. There is almost always a chemical or mental imbalance at the source of these, and typically the only way to avoid them is dreamer empowerment and/or medication. Regardless, these still exube the same inner shadows that drive the average nightmare. They recur because our imbal;ances prevent us form overcoming the monster head on. What was amplified is now obsessively resurrected every night. It's a battle, but it can be one...or at least survived.

Then there is...the non-human dreams. Those dreams where we must tread the difinition very cautiously, not allowing ourselves to give credit where it isn't due. Angels, demons, spirits, and any other beings you might choose to (or to not) believe in can access the dreaming realm. Religions and cultures across the globe, from eras back onward, give note to the dream as a place where inspiration, revelation, epiphany, and in some cases assault of the spirit can occur. But we must make sure every plausible alternitive is dis-proven before we make the statement that someone has been visited by any sort of being. Remember - hell and heaven are almost never (and by that I mean more than 99% of the time) actually the places depicted.

The best defense against nightmares is self empowerment. Study up on lucid dreaming and dream visualization. Seek counselling for the traumas that haunt you (for only when we grow in peace can we truly control the every aspect of our dream). Love yourself; even in non-human dreams, most of what you see relates to you the dreamer.

Oh, and the "demon sitting on your chest" was a depiction classically given to the experience of sleep paralysis, where we panic in our sleep over being unable to move so our subconscious tried to put a face to the fear.
