Last night was nice. For ome strange reason I was living in Spain . I had a nice bunglaow house.
Then mum came to visit. She was staying in a nearby hotel but wanted to come and see me. She was in her mid 30s (I know this because she was wearing an awful black raincoat that she lived in at that time due to her thyroid going wrong and her thinking the coat made her look slim..) and best of all she had my little brother John with her. She was healthy and happy and he was as shy as ever but grinning..
Last night.. I was having a nightmare, and I started to wake up from it... but then I felt like someone was next to me.. then I felt pressure like someone stepping on the right side next to me then to the left... walking over me... then I felt like the bottom half of my body started to float upwards. It was so scary! It took me a while to fall back asleep after that.. IDK if it was some form of sleep paralysis. I did not open my eyes because I was afraid of what I'd hallucinate.. and I was afraid to try to scream in case whatever it was didn't know I was there I know it's not real, but it just feels so real in the moment.
Then last night, I know I was running around in my dream a lot.. but then there was this part with a giant grizzly bear going right for me. It scared me enough to will myself awake.. and my heart was racing IRL for a while afterward.
I get a lot more sleep troubles when my health is out of whack... UGH!

I had a good dream... to start with. There was everything in technicolour and I felt so happy. But then the room burst into red and everyone was screaming. It was awful and I felt so scared, yet I didn't wake up screaming: I woke up slowly. But it was a truly horrible dream.
The other day... I had a few dreams... I only remember pieces.
In one part, I was in a town, and there were snakes all over the place.. I started to run away and tell people, but apparently they were all gone by the time I tried to get them to look. But then there was another snake that was this strange yellow-ish color with some black on it, and it looked more like something you'd see in the ocean... it was coming at me, so I started to run because I wasn't sure if it was venomous or not lol then later I was researching it in my dream, and all of a sudden I saw a fish tank with this 'snake' in it, and it was called a 'glow worm.' It was literally glowing in the fish tank with water, and it was pretty big... so it was a weird sea creature that wasn't actually a worm or a snake... something my brain made up.
Another part... I was looking out a window in what was supposed to be my house (my dream houses are always nothing like any houses I live in lol) and there was this inflatable giant dinosaur character... but then the air machine was sucking up and chopping leaves all over the place, and it started to get clogged and the dinosaur started to flap around all over the place.
That's all I remember

It was not initially a dream but it will be in the back of my mind as I dream. I once read a story about a couple of people in the US who were out in the wilds in winter and needed shelter. They came across a deserted shack and were able to enter and light a fire. They had the lovely warm fire going and settled to rest. They did not realise that lots of rattlesnakes were hibernating there and they were roused by the warmth. They were terrified as the snakes moved around them so stayed resting without moving. As the fire went out and the room cooled the snakes whent back to their hidey holes for hibernation. The men were then able to leave. I don't remember where I read it but it sounds plausable because I know that many snakes overwinter in large groups. It sounds terrifying.
Have any of you over there come across this sort of thing?

I read that story too, but it had a different ending. It was just one guy, and he ran through the snakes. then came back, bolted the door and burned the shack down.
You mentioned snakes and I remembered a dream I just had. I have quite a few snakes out back and I have been seeing them a lot lately and i think it caused my dream about them. In my dream everyone was getting bit by them but no one was getting ill. And for some reason they wouldn't bite me. It certainly was strange but next time I am back there I am sure I will be paying close attention to my surroundings...

Of course we all know what snake dreams are symbolic of.

I guess not, but I did grow up in south FL... doesn't really get cold there lol

I had no idea...
In dreams, snakes can be primal, sexual creatures, but also oppressors. They can, in venomous snakes, represent death by stealth. They can, however, also mean rebirth through the shedding of one's skin or relate to health and spiritual problems. And according to Freud, they may even represent the phallus.

I seemed to remember the shack being burnt down but was not sure so I didn't mention it. It may be the same story, just my memory.
I once dreamed I was being attacked by a snake. It was coiled around my leg, and threatening to bite. I couldn't work out if I should attack it or leave it alone and prey.

Thats a pretty scary situation.
As a kid I often dreamed about snakes or bats out to get me.
I can't help thinking it was due to my catholic upbringing. I don't know how often I was told the Adam and Eve story at school. It was a real favourite for the nuns.
I'd forgotten you were educated by nuns, a_muppet: so were my dad and his sister is rural Ireland. My aunt has many tales to tell about those nuns.
I always hear of horror stories regarding nuns and teaching. I have never experienced it myself, thankfully.
I used to provide free nhs care to nuns, there was a nunnery near where I worked. They were not very pleasant people to be perfectly frank.
The only one I liked was a devoted flatterer, she would always praise me for my looks, and I mean always. Never did I see her without her passing kind comment on my face, she never liked to mention bodies in any way lol.
We used to enjoy a laugh over that as she was profoundly blind. She was the only nun I ever heard laugh. They might smile with their mouths, but it never lit up in their eyes. But in fairness, what did they ever have to smile about?

We have a catholic school in town but it isn't somewhere that I have ever been. Nuns are so rare here, at least out in the countryside, that people would probably stare as they passed. I may have seen one or two over the years, in town, but they are rare as hen's teeth.

Still Lincolnshire is a heart of Methodism.
Nunneries are closing down. A quick glance in google shows:
2015: 20 Carmelite monasteries in Britain (15 in England, four in Scotland and one in Wales) 2022: 15 Carmelite monasteries in Britain (11 in England, three in Scotland and one in Wales)
The nunnery I knew in Hastings was demolished in 2000

Yes, I came across one in Loughborough, closeby a patient I visited. It closed down some while ago now. Having just glanced on the internet it seems the convent may have re-opened in a more suitable building.The old building was listed and deemed unsuitable (I suspect expensive to run).
The night before... I had a dream that I was having a kind of angry conversation with my SO over something that happened a long time ago lol I woke up feeling upset and kind of mad as usual as if it happened.
Then last night.. I had a dream where I was with my parents and brother, and we were riding places on some weird motorized bikes and car-type things. They looked futuristic and kind of strange to me. At one point, my brother and dad went off on their own to try to get something from someone who stole it from them... and then my brother called on the phone, and he was hysterical saying the cops were coming and that he killed 12 people to survive. I don't remember if something happened to my dad or not. I felt upset and woke up a few hours early... took a while to fall back asleep.
My SO has been giving me saffron supplements before bed the last few nights, so IDK if they are making me have dreams that make me upset or what? He read it helps with depression and PMS-symptoms (I get very depressed and anxious with PMS, so I might have PMDD or something), but the dreams are kind of depressing lol

I'm going to keep taking it and see if the dreams continue ;p You have to take it for at least a week straight, but really an entire month before a difference can be felt.
I already have weird dreams pretty regularly.. or ones that wake me up because they scare me or stress me out lol might just be my brain is broken.
