How often do you have nightmares? And do you remember them?

I have nightmares about beeing chased with a knife and/or beeing stabbed. Or I have nightmares about the sea and tsunamis. I understand the first thing, because I had a traumatic close-to-death encounter with a guy who tried to stab me and Thani. But I don't think about that situation when I am awake. It only comes back in dreams. The thing about the sea is a mystery to me (rhymes, lol)
Is there anyone who has nightmares? And how often do you have them? And what can be done against having nightmares?

To be honest, since I remeber, I don't usually had nightmares, I think that I only had like more than 5 nightmares in my whole life, the one that I just remember is the time that I dream that I die and suddenly I was a ghost, the scary part for me is that I could actually see myself lay donw on a bed and see my familiars around me and praying, men, I don't think that I'm going to forget that one

lol, the only dream I had that I actually died in was a pretty great dream as odd as that sounds. well, aside from the fact I was dead within the first minute of it.

oh gosh. well, when I was young I usually had re-ocurring nightmares, but the sweet dreams never repeated lol. I actually had 2 of those dreams a few years back even. of course, I rather laugh at them now lol.

I think I'll tell these one post at a time, the ones I can remember anyways. they're pretty crazy, as most of my dreams are lol. I'll start off with the short one, which makes my fearlessness of spiders seem weird now.

this one happened when I was 3 and 4, with some seldom repeats when I was 5 and 6. I was wearing my favorite peach silk pajamas with the lace on it. I go into my parents bedroom, and I'm running my hand over the bed spread (which was yellow lace). suddenly, I see this HUGE black spider at the end with a rectangular muzzle type mouth (lol, how realistic) that's jagged like teeth. it has large red glowing eyes. I turned to run, and the lace on my sleeve catches on the bed spread (I think that might be impossible in reality). the spider crawls slowly towards my hand hissing (lol, snake in a spider costume?). I'm tugging, panicing, and crying but I can't get free. and then right before its hideous fangs sink into my wrist, I jolt awake.

it seems rather stupid to me now, but it was terrifying as a small child.

All I know is not to eat cheese before going to bed, and writing down your worries on a apiece of paper, and then putting that paper under your pillow before nodding off :P that's supposed to help beat nightmares! I usually have them about once or twice a month, and they're usually not that scary, lol.
The scariest one I've ever had was about ducks as zombies, and it actually had horror music in the dream too! You know like in horror films? Now I think of it, that was an awesome dream x3

But it was even stranger when I was about 4 or 5, possibly even 6. When I fell asleep, no matter what dream it was, the first thing I saw at the start of every dream or nightmare was seeing me, lying on the bed, like myself looking at myself... if that makes sense. And then my body floats to the ceiling, which reminds me of that film 'The Exorcist' :/ and then my dream begins properly! It's really, really weird...

I don't have nightmares often, though, I only have them when I have a bunch of stress going on in my life. As for remembering, I don't have a big memory on nightmares. But one thing is strange; I ALWAYS have this dream before going into a new grade. I am at my old elementary school, and I am just swinging on a swing set, the setting is winter. All of a sudden, these huge fuzzy white yetis come and chase me. >.> I never had it this year, when I came into 9th grade. It's just weird. What I do before bed, every night, just read a good book!

I still remember the worst nightmare I had very clearly.. Dinosaurs had returned to Earth and came REALLY close to my house one night, but I survived through it because the dinosaur ate someone else on another building... Next day it was sunny and I was going to visit one of my pals when I dinosaur started chasing me.. I managed to escape for a while but I was foolish enough to go read a newspaper with some other guys and the dinosaur came back... In the end there was a hill and near it had a forest and I jumped but I lost my senses.. When I got back into my senses I was just under the dinosaur and I closed my eyes and it ate me.

:cry:

I used to have these 2 nightmares as a cub that happened so much that I gave them names :)
'The Needle of Light' and 'The Floating Boxes'

The Needle of Light dream was weird as it was some kind of multi-layered platform floating in eternal space, I would view myself in 3rd person from a distance and I needed to get to the top of the platform to the 'needle of light' in a time limit of some kind, the time limit was never enough and it always ran out. When it did the whole platform would just fall into oblivion.. lol, yeah, that was a weird one :)

The Floating Boxes dream was just plain scary, I was on a conveyor belt that was leading into a hugh crushing machine/incinerator thing that was covered in spikes, once again this was floating in eternal space, and there were these 'floating boxes' roaming around in this space. If I remember correctly, I got asked incredibly hard questions and every time I got one wrong - which was every question - the conveyor belt would move closer and closer to the crushing machine.. Yeah, that was creepy :disgust:

I haven't had either of those dreams for a few years now though :) It's odd because I kinda want to have them again, lol.

I don't have nightmares a lot but when I do have them they're usually very bloody and violent. o.0 Like my most recent nightmare involved me being a sniper and shooting everyone I could see and running away from the police. *should stop watching so much GTA on YT* >.>
And then in another one I was in a knife fight with some random guy... :ehh2: Amazing what my mind thinks up while I'm in bed lol. You think maybe I need to see a therapist? XD
When I was a cubby I used to have horrible falling dreams, like falling off of tall buildings and stuff. And everytime before I went splat on the ground I would suddenly wake up. In another nightmare about bees I remember waking up with my pillow drenched in sweat and the sheets all over the place. 0.0 Another time I actually screamed out loud lol. And several times I've woken up with tears all over my face. :(
And of course.... I've had those retarded "went to school in my underwear" dreams almost every year before the start of school >_>
