This dream scared me

Last night I ended up passing out because I was really tired and I was sleeping just fine and than suddenly I was dreaming and I haven't been able to dream in quite awhile. It's been months since I've remembered any of my dreams.

This is what I remember: I opened the door and suddenly the door opened by itself and I stepped back feeling frightened. Than suddenly inside the dream something attacked me and pushed me down on the ground and wouldn't get off of me. I couldn't see whatever was attacking me, it was invisible and this happened for quite awhile. I even tried to wake myself up too.

Than I finally woke up from my dream feeling frightened, looking all around me. Actually felt as if it actually happened for real. That's what truly frightened me the most. Not usually the superstitious type, when I looked at the clock it was 3:25. I ended up shrugging it off in the end. It did take me awhile to go back to bed though.

This dreamed was so real to me and vivid. All my nightmares are usually vivid.

That sounds like a terrifying dream. I hate that frightened feeling when you wake up from a bad dream. I always feel so vulnerable.
I hope you are able to have an okay day otherwise.

Some thing in real life may be holding you down, or you may feel you are holding yourself down for some reason. Unable to go through the door.

Hi Amethyst_Stargazer,
I used to be just like you...not recalling many of my dreams and those I did were always waking me up with my heart thumping. For the last several years...they are completely gone. So how did I do this?

I learnt to listen to myself. I learned to meditate and then use my higher self to assist me in my dream interpretations. This then lead me to facing myself in the spiritual mirror so to speak.

I will happily assist you with your dream. What I have learnt from my dreams is that nothing is in a dream by chance. EVERYTHING in a dream has meaning for us, if only we are to notice it.

Therefore, if you would kindly answer the questions below, to the best of your recall, I will then provide you with an interpretation of your dream as if it was mine.

Additionally, if you have a second "Scary" dream you would like me to assist you with, then please also include this. I have learnt that the "Scary" dreams are usually the most profound learning dreams.

So here's what I want you to do...

Tell me the number of scenes in each dream. THEN, FOR EACH SCENE I want you to tell me the following:

Location:
I want you to look in your mind, as the observer, in the following directions and tell me what you see:
1. To your left.
2. To your right.
3. In front of you.
4. Behind you.
5. Above you.
6. Below you.

It’s all right if you can’t recall much. Simply tell me what you see and make sure I know what direction it is from you the dreamer. In my interpretation, you’ll see how this is a symbol itself.

When you are describing what you see, tell me in as much detail as you can recall about it. So things I am very interested in is what are walls, doors, windows, stairs, tables, etc. made of, age/style, colour, etc. The same goes for anything outside. You’ll see in my interpretations how all of this tells us lots about ourselves.

Lighting:
1. Tell me what the lighting was like, i.e. bright, dull, black, cloudy etc.
2. Then tell me where the light was coming from.
3. Can you tell the time of day or season?
Lighting is important in a dream because it’s a symbol of vibrational state. I’ll explain this during my interpretation for you.

Objects:
If there are any objects in a dream scene, then tell me about them as follows:
1. Shape, size, colour and what they were made of.
2. Where the object is in the dream relative to you, i.e. left, right, etc.

I’ve found objects in dreams are usually symbols of things we first need to concentrate on spiritually. I’ll explain this in the interpretation if you had any objects in any of the scenes.

People:
For each person in a dream scene I want you to do the following:
1. Describe them to me in as much detail as you can recall. This includes age, gender, clothes, colour of the clothes, what the clothes were made of.
2. Tell me where they were in the dream scene relative to you, i.e. left, right, below, etc.
3. Tell me if they were lying down, sitting, standing, walking, etc.
4. Tell me what they did with you. Don’t skip the details. Simply tell me exactly what happened.
5. If there are any conversations or thoughts between you and the person or others, then tell me EXACTLY WHAT WAS SAID. This is important.
6. If there were others you couldn’t see but felt, then let me know where you felt they were in a scene relative to you the dreamer, i.e. left, right, etc.

Animals. Etc.:
If there were any animals, insects, birds, reptiles, fish or whatever in any of the scenes, then tell me. Describe them in as great as detail as you can recall. Also let me know where they were in the dream scene relative to you, i.e. left, right, etc. Then let me know of any thoughts that passed between you and them.

Thoughts/Feelings:
This is a very important part of every dream scene. Take your time, go back and tell me the following for each scene:
1. What was your first thought/feeling as the dream scene began.
2. Tell me of any thoughts/feeling changes as the dream scene progressed and let me know where in the scene this occurred.
3. Tell me your last thought/feeling as the dream ended.

So, if you put in the effort to reply to the best of your ability, I think you might be surprised by how much learning there is in a dream scene.

With kind regards,
Guy
