I don't think there's another topic for this ; If there is, sorry lol.

Anyhoo, this is just something I was wondering while at work the other day.

I was thinking about my dreamcatcher, and how it doesn't filter nightmares. But mum says I used to have these really bad nightmares. Night terrors. Apparently I haven't had them since getting the dreamcatcher, so I figure it only filters the worst dreams.

Yeah, I do believe that dreamcatchers work. Even if it's only a mental reassurance.

But yeah, I'm just curious if anyone else has or used to have night terrors. The type of nightmare that you can't wake up from, no matter how hard you try. And that no one else can wake you from. You have to ride them to the end. You know what I mean?

I used to have frequent ones when I was little, but I'm fine now.

Oof, is that like a lucid nightmare? Like, you know it's a dream and instead of doing things you like, bad things keep happening to you? I really can't say if I've had that..

Night terrors are non-dreams. They occur at the deepest levels of sleep so there isn't really any dreaming involved. Rather, it's just a sensation of fear and anxiety while unconcious.

I personally have only had a handfull of night terrors. I may have one every few years.

I use to have the really bad dreams you cant wake from. I would be having a bad nightmare, then i dream i woke up just to still be in another nightmare and so on.

Oh.. hm..

[iLLViLLAiN]

I used to have one everytime I fell asleep on this one CD I made. It's all so very odd.

[iNSOMNiAC]

I've had 'em before, nasty things..I still get one or two every few months or so. xX I have a dream catcher, but it doesn't seem to be working so well. D=

[spinningcannon]

Hm... I've read up on night terrors, but I've never had any myself, thank God. I've only had some real terrible nightmares... but I luckily have a knack for escaping from them, albeit mostly through luck!
Supposedly, night terrors can also cause you to only wake up "halfway"-- where you're conscious but can't move, and other related nasty situations. I can't imagine what that would be like! Has anyone experienced that?

Oh... and while we're at it, dreamcatchers never worked for me, either. Maybe our Maren friends have ways of getting by precautions like that, you never know...!

I had those when I was younger. In that dreams, three human-like monsters was always killing my mother and wanted to do the same to me, and I couldn't wake up until I reach the highest spot in a dream (a tall tower surrounded with spiral staircases). I could hardly reach it, coz that monsters were too quick x_x I was running, and running, and running, always leaving a dream in the last moment. Thanks God, I never see those nowadays

That sounds a little more like a nightmare. If it was a night terror, you shouldn't even be able to remember it. But hey, I'm no expert so who knows.

[Wizeman1213]

I used to have bad dreams all the time. I got so desperate that I had to do a prayer every night to rid myself of them. It actually worked too, much like a dreamcatcher.

[Roam]

I've had only one before, and it'll hopefully be a feeling I never relive.

[Foofums]

Mmm... I only have them when I have to sleep in complete darkness/silence. Any nightmares that follow usually have me choking and not being able to see, or I just don't fall asleep at all, I just keep my eyes shut. I'm really afraid of the dark.

Hope that was relevant.

[Sierra]

I never had night terrors, but apparently my brother used to. He doesn't anymore tho. ^^

[^_^ Go Dreamer]

I use to have bad nightmares frequently when I was little! Now I dream alot, but once in a blue moon I get a nightmare. ^_^

[The wise Kitsune]

Im not sure if it was a Night terror,but I had a nightmare when I fell off the second story of a Gameworks (a huuuuge arcade) and it was dark and Industrial looking,in my Dream and in real life. Ever since then I have been afraid of heights. But I got a dream catcher like 2-3 years ago and I havent had a Nightmare since.

[Koji_Tsunami]

I can only think of two or three Nightmares I've ever had.
Sure, there're dreams where bad stuff happens, but I've never been actually scared by it since I was like, nine.

Night Terrors, I haven't had since age two.

[Sako]

I get them usually monthly, or bi-weekly. BTW, I thought this topic was abouy a Soul Calibur 3 character.

[d3vilcat]

Mmmmmmmm; Night terrors *snore*

[Mythic]

I've only been able to remember one night terror. I experienced it when I was in, like, second grade and it was freaky !

[IDontKnow]

I've usually been so tired, I haven't gotten any as of late.
I had them a lot before the fall semester began for my college... no good at all. I really think it's the person since I've had dreamcatchers and they have done nothing for me (mostly because I don't believe in that sort of thing I think).

[Phantom Rin]

I just wish I could have nightmares in general as I never remembered getting any. A lot of weird and odd dreams but, nothing that scared me. Probably because I'm hard to scare in real life and don't worry about things much. Not even when I was younger or else it would've probably stuck to my mind.

[TORiAS_the_fallen]

Yes... But I've adjusted.
