I keep having the same dream that is so real it scares me

[brumic26]

Every so often in the middle of the night I guess I dream that I die. It feels so real though. In the middle of the night , I seem to wake up just as I feel my spirt leave my body. My spirt starts to float in the air & I get so scared , I try to tell my husband but, can't do anything because I'm dead. I can't control any movement or make a noise, I'm so scared I will not be able to get back into my body & panic. Then after a min. or two it seems like I feel myself take a breath & then wake up crying.
It's the same thing most the time though. I start to die & want my husband to save me before I do but, can't.
This last week the dream was very bad. When I started to float, I started moving faster & faster & went far away to a black place for a min.
After this last time, I keep feeling like I am going to die, All day everyday since & I am scared more then I can say. I love life so this is very hard for me
Can anyone please help me figure this out & why it keeps happening
Thank you

Hi,
Relax this is a normal dream! It is called "Sleep Paralysis" The reason for the dream is the sleeping position you adopt when you go to sleep. Normally it happens when you go to sleep on your back and after some time breathing becomes difficult. However it can be caused by going to sleep in an embrace.

Then after a min. or two it seems like I feel myself take a breath & then wake up crying.

As you can see from the above quote it is to do with breathing.
Here is how the dream works: we all fear death and the subconscious uses the idea to frighten you asleep - ever so gently!
Next time you have the dream think of what you read here. In the dream try to move your eye lid or finger and you will soon wake up. On waking check your sleeping position.
I'm sure now that you know about the cause it will happen less and less.
Cheers Wolfjk

Hi,
If it was a death dream it would mean that a problem of your life will be solved.But it seems more like an Out of Body experience, you can search for OBE in the net.
This time if you were scared whisper these two short prayers several times:
The dawn)
In the name of God, the beneficent, the Merciful.

1. Say: I seek refuge in the Lord of the dawn.
2. From the evil of what He has created,
3. And from the evil of the utterly dark night when he comes,
4. And from the evil of those who blow on knots,
5. And from the evil of the envious when he envies.


(The men)
In the name of God, the beneficent, the Merciful.
1. Say: I seek refuge in the Lord of men,
2. The king of men,
3. The God of men,
4. From the evil of the whisperings of the slinking (Satan),
5. Who whispers into the hearts of men,
6. From among the jinn and the men.
