Wierd Dream
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!

Maybe give some free advice about: Spirituality?
This is referred to as Sleep Paralysis, it has been studied by many sleep clinics and doctors. It is a stage right before REM sleep and is quite common. Though disturbing, they have little or nothing to do with what has been suggested by your mother, or the previous poster. Your recollections of it are classic, right down to believing there is someone in the room, a lot of people mistake them for alien visitations. Do a search, Sleep Paralysis and while you are at it, look up Lucid Dreaming.
The Boy friend is another matter, while boredom is not a reason to do anything but go out and have some fun, (if your mother tossed her children out the door once she got bored with them, you would have been gone long ago). But the fact that you, as it seems to me, can speak so nonchalantly about breaking up with him, I'd say that answers that question.

Interesting, I've never heard of this happening before.
I think that you feel restircted by this realtionship, and you feel the urge to break free from it.
Dreams are a way in which we see our true inner desires, our inner truths. These dreams could be a way to tell you that you don't want to be in this realtionship anymore. Except you don't feel you're able to and that you need to have help to get you through it.
If you think that you're anxious about something, look down deep within yourself till you come to the place where this anxiety is coming from and then try and figure out when it started and the best place to begin would be to think back to the day which these dreams began on and what you were doing before. Was it when you realsied that you and your boyfriend don't have any chemistry between the two of you??
I can't think of what you're neck burning means, but I did find this on the web:
"Burning
To see something burning, indicates that you are experiencing some intense emotions and/or passionate sexual feelings. There is some situation or issue that you can no longer avoid and ignore. Alternatively, it may suggests that you need to take time off for yourself and relax."
The best way to stop these from happening is to do what you need to do and I think that you know what I'm talking about. I know that this may not be what you want to hear, but it's the only way in which I can think of to stop these dreams.
I hope this helped,

you might be having a sort of panic attack in your sleep or something? oddly enough, i had that happen to me lastnight. i woke up and my pillow was wet from my crying in my sleep and when i woke up it felt like there was an elephant sitting on my chest!!!
my mom was all concerned and stuff. but yeah. this isnt really advice, but youre not alone. i know how you feel! so could i interest you in some sympathy or perhaps a sarcastic comment? except i really cant think of a sarcastic comment for this one...lol

I totally understand what you are going through. Almost everyone has this. You obviously have something on your mind when your sleeping which forms this strange dream. I'm thinking you like the boy and dont know what to do so you feel like you cant move.. Then when you "dumped" him you felt bad and went right back to where you started. A.K.A. the guilt trip!
Try to think about better thoughts before you go to sleep and also try to clear things up with this boy. Maybe even tell him about the dreams [if akward dont bother haha]
hope this helps
