Q: Heyy Everyone!
i keep getting a similar dream. it dosent happen if ive been sleeping soundly, just if i wake up and take a nap. ive gotten in twice in the same week.
the first time i woke up in the morning but i was still in bed. i was thinking about the boy ive beeen hanging out with lately and i realized i think im bored with him. i couldnt think of any fun moments together that we still had sparks. then i fell asleep. but i didnt know i was sleeping, i thought i was still awake. i felt like i couldnt move my body at all, and my heart started racing and it was hard to breathe. it felt like there was a thin wooden board going accross my whole room, starting from the edge of my bed and it was holding me down. i could only open one eye a tiny bit, and i could see my mom standing over me saying "i dont know if she can save herself. we may need to take her to the doctor." i got so scared then, my neck started to burn up. trying to break free i started wiggling my toes and stroking the wooden board until finally i woke up and could move. i jumped out of bed almost shaking i was so scared. this was twords the begining of the week.
yesterday (saturday) i had it again. (after i ended things with the boy.). i had woken up and gone into the other room to watch TV. i was all comfy under the blankets just resting. i didnt think i fell asleep. i felt like i couldnt move again. the back of my neck got hot and it was difficult to breathe. then i saw myself slipping from the bed, from lack of oxygen. then a horn sounded. while the horn was going, there was no air and i could get back in bed but when it stopped i started falling off again. then i hear my mom in the background telling my little brother to stop blowing the horn. finally i woke up.
i told my mom about these, and she said it was anxiety. she asked me what im anxious about. lately ive been thinking it could have been the boy ive been hanging out with. the second time i fell asleep, i was thinking about how sad he looked after i ended things between us.
so my questions are:
1. what does everything in the dream represent (in your opinion).
2. how do i know what im anxious about?
3. how do i fix this and make the dreams go away?
thanks so much!!
and help would be great, thanks!
