So as I've mentioned on some other parts of the forum I've been having some issues with my sister. Over the several weeks or so I've started having horrible nightmares. I have a history of nightmares but these are terrifyingly realistic. Often I know I am dreaming and still can't wake up. All of the nightmare involve my sister. She's either trying to kill me or violently rip me apart like a doll. Sometimes she chases me, sometimes she tries to kill or attach my fiancé. Other times she tries to turn my mother against me and they both start comin after me.

She is he major cause of stress in my life. I'm happy in my home life, and I'm getting married on Saturday. Any ideas as to what these dreams could mean or why I might be having them?

This sounds like a really stressful situation with your sister and I'm very sorry to hear that it's manifesting itself over to your dreams

I understand what you mean by "I know I am dreaming and still can't wake up". I have this too sometime if something is really bothering me and it can feel quite unsettling.

I think that there is a lot that you are going through emotionally with your sister, that you have possibly not processed, it's almost as if you can't escape her. I think that the part that you can't escape is - what is it that your sister does, that jeopardises your wellbeing or happiness, in some shape or form? Sometimes we don't even know, hence why they come out in dreams. It could even be something as simple as needing a bit of space or your own time from her.

I hope you are able to find some peaceful rest soon

i get terrible nightmares, and my life in real life has been a living nightmare too i have to say. i could go on and on about things that have happened to me that are unbelievable and people around me are afraid to be near me sometimes. they think i am bad luck i think. my nightmares while i'm seeping are horrid and i can't tell if they are real or not. sometimes when i wake up i have to go through it and realize it was a dream. your sister could be causing you nightmares because at some time she scared you in real life, it doesn't have to be anything really really scarry, just something like when you were a kid when things were more scarier that you got over already in your conscious life that you never solved in your real life. i don't know but that may be something to do with it.

You fear your family is going to reject you when you get married. This what the dreams are about.

I know my family isn't going to reject me. They all love my fiancé and are excited we are getting married. I do feel like I can't escape my sister. She and I are identical twins and she always kind of followed me around even though we are total opposites of each other. She moved away from home around 7 years ago (to another state) and had a really hard time making friends. She started morphing herself to mimic me and made friend. I accidentally blew her cover when I went to visit her and when he friends realized she's been pretending to be someone else they quit speaking to her.

Now several years later I moved from the US to Europe and it seems like she's taken the distance between us to mean she can morph into me without me blowing her cover. It's very 'single white female'. She's going pretty far with it. I have tons of tattoos...she just went and got a big tattoo even though she always said she hated them. I dyed my hair pink, she dyed her hair pink...she always hated my music and now it's her favorite and so on and so forth. It's super super irritating. I'm wondering if this is why I am having these dreams.

Hi Anxiousvalkyrie,

I believe your analysis of the situation in your last post is quite correct. Your sister annoys you very much and that may be the reason for your nightmares.

I too have been having really horrible nightmares for months now, and I can't say if they are real or not. In my case, my pdoc told me it must be a side effect of the SSRI's antidepressants I'm taking. I don't know if you're taking those, too.

Anyway, all the best for your marriage!
