So I made this for people to post their Help & Questions about Dreams, Lingering Dreams, Recurring Dreams, Dreams and Lingering Feelings or Emotions, etc.
So here's for all of us who want to talk about dreams that disturb, perplex, mystify, stupefy, and titilate us to question the state of dreaming and the subconcious interpretations of our daily lives.
Try to post them all here only, and the other GSGers will try to accomodate to your questions and help needs.
Post only dream related questions or advice here from now on.
This includes:
Nightmares,
Spiritual or occult-related dreams,
Sleep paralysis/ Night Hag phenomenon,
Lucid Dreaming,
Altered states of consciousness,
and also Astral Projection.

I'll start with one of my own from a dream I had last night and can't shake.
A lot of my dreams disturb me. A lot of them stick with me after I've tried to rationalize it-- and some of my nightmares haunt me for years, to tell you the truth.
So speaking from the Girl Who Has Strange Dreams, I'm here to tell you that I had a really strange one last night.
In my dream, which I don't remember now, I guess there were these creatures in it-- they could've been ghosts or spirits, I'm really not sure. But I've never had the feeling I had last night, and it took me several hours to get back to sleep, and it's bothering me again now.
I woke myself from this nightmare that I had because of the strangest feeling I had. I've never in my life had an actual paranoid delusional episode, and I had one last night. I literally felt like these creatures were watching me. Up close, from almost every angle. It is the most eerie sensation I've ever had, and, like I said, it woke me from my nightmare.
It was like their eyes were invasive, or abrasive, nearly reaching into my skin. It was so creepy. Totally bizarre.
The only thing that kept me near a remote iota of calm (let me tell you, I was freaking out) was keeping the hot, stuffy blanket tucked all around my head and being right up close to my boyfriend-- and he couldn't be asleep. I had to keep him awake because I felt like something might try to attack me if he fell asleep. Like these things that were watching me would actually try to harm me. I'm staying awake because I don't want to go back into the bedroom because of that taint, or resonance, of being watched.
Like I said, paranoid delusion... I think.
Has anyone ever had an experience like this? Does anyone have a supernatural, paranormal, or even a mundane suggestion to give me?

Okay, I have a friend who's been having some weird dreams for the past week or so, and she's getting freaked out by them. I'll post it in her own words, and would appreciate some feedback.
Me- How do they go?
Her- like...hmm ok it's like a normal school day durring homeroom but i notice that adam was really quiet and i go ask him whats wrong then he just hugs me and starts crying all over my shoulder
Me- And that's it?
Her- well like i said, the ending is different every time..but always including the details from the night before
Me- What're the variations?
Her- well...last night for an example it stopped when i was just telling him it'd be ok but the night before it stopped when he hugged me
I'll appreciate any help that I'm given.

Maybe she is concerned for this Adam person, or feels somehow responsible for his feelings.

Well sometimes I have dreams I'm falling, and then I wake up, and it still feels I'm falling, and then it stops, like I wasn't already on the bed. What is this?

This dream I had about two weeks ago still gives me the creeps. I had it while I was on vacation. I'm not sure if someone was trying to control me subconsciously or what was going on. Background....I tend to tell myself a story so I relax and fall asleep but about a month back I felt like a human radio and a male voice absolutely refused to leave my head when I told all the voices to leave. He left after I gave him a mental death glare.
Anyway, I dreamed that I was in the efficiency waiting for everyone to be ready to go somewhere. I saw a mist in one corner of the living room/dining room and knew it was a spirit. I however couldn't get a name so my friend went over to ask the spirit what it's name was. For some very strange reason the spirit was female and named Milk. My curiosity satisfied, I headed back down the hall to the room I was sharing with my friend and brother's girlfriend and nearly walked into a guy. I can't really remember what he looked like except he was about 6 ft and skinny. I knew he had followed me towards the living room and he scared me. I knew I was dreaming and willed myself to wake up. He said something in the same male voice that refused to get out of my head the one night. I basically told him that I wasn't scared of him and that I was going to wake up. I woke up right after that.
I'm very curious as to what exactly happened to me in my dream. I also don't know if this'll help but I dream in color whenever I do dream...like the normal color you see things as.

You did exactly the right thing for your situation. Those that intrude upon your unwilling mind in dreaming or in waking are no friends to you. If there hasn't been an open invitation, then none can expect open hospitality.

Hopexox3 Well sometimes I have dreams I'm falling, and then I wake up, and it still feels I'm falling, and then it stops, like I wasn't already on the bed. What is this? Sounds like either a sleep-induced delirium or vertigo.

I can't remember a time when I didn't have nightmares for an entire week. Every time I fall asleep I have them. I'm convinced I don't even reach REM sleep before I have a nightmare, because sometimes I have a nightmare in less then an hour when I try to nap. They usually have a bunch of different things, and I remember them all after I wake up. Most are entirely realistic. neutral I've gotten used to them, but for the worse ones I usually just stop sleeping for a few days to ensure they won't continue (They have done that before)...
It's not healthy but hey, for-sure way to stop the nightmares xd
Common ones: Falling, zombies, and losing someone. Some deal with losing a child. (Which is really weird, I don't even have kids yet it's the same kid over and over, never seen him before in my entire life. I was having this dream ever since I was fourteen, too.)

The last part... clearly your subconcious has issues with situations that are out of your control. I have zombie dreams quite frequently.

About a week ago, my old spirit guide entered my dream. I stopped talking to him because he changed and I couldn't trust him. In this dream, he looked sickly and almost completely different than he first did when we began communicating... but it was still him, only tainted.
It was like in the dream, we were both these idealized personifications of our seperateness. I was far more motherly, careful, detail-oriented, focused on a more domestic path etc... and he was far more distracted, less caring, more chaotic, and generally letting himself get spirited away on this path that left him more hollow.
I'm not quite sure what to make of it.

I had a dream a couple nights ago that really was kinda weird. I dreamed that I could walk through walls unless there was something on the other side, blocking my entry. It felt so cool and natural that when I woke up, I almost tried to walk through my door! lol What does it mean?

I think it means that your mind is telling you that you either need to let go of some sort of boundary that seems perfectly grounded in reality in your waking mind.... Have faith and try the impossible or illogical, as it were... metaphorically speaking, of course.
Or you have let go of some sort of boundary that your mind has made.

I wish I could help answer some of your questions, though I really have no good answers as I don't understand my own dreams myself.
A question I do have is this:
Does anyone else have total control over themselves in dreams? In my dreams & nightmares I can:
A: Tell that I am dreaming.
B: Interact with those who are in my dream i.e:
My mom is scared in my dream, I walk up to her and tell her it's okay, because its my dream and we'll both wake up and it will be okay.
C: If it's a nightmare I can't handle, I shake my head in my dream and immediately wake up.
C stems from my childhood, I had reoccurring nightmares WITH an introduction. I would be standing in a long tunnel. Lit by torches on the walls, the floor, ceiling and walls all stone. I would hear a loud, demonic(?) disembodied voice say "Brandi, welcome to your nightmare." -Evil Laugh- and I would get tunnel vision and shoot forward down this tunnel. I would then be standing infront of this....thing...I can only explain it as the keeper of my nightmares, kind of....devil looking thing sitting in a stone throne. After this my nightmare would then start...whatever it may be.
Eventually I would wake myself up as soon as I noticed I was in the hallway- by shaking my head.
I no longer have this introduction to my nightmares, but I can still shake my head in ANY dream, at my own will- to wake up.
Any words on this?
