Please help-recurring nightmare

[fundi6]

I have a party at my house. When the men go I show them out of the front door. one of the men that I appear to know smothers me with hugs and kisses in a friendly manner, but one of the other men that I don't know strangles me so hard I can't breathe or make a sound. The pain is horrific, I panic and lose my vision blacking out and fear he will kill me. I cannot alert anyone for help as my voice is paralysed. When I wake up my neck really hurts and I can still feel where his hands were around my neck and I just can't settle back to sleep.

If anyone can help me with this I would be really grateful. These dreams seem to happen early on in sleep (within the first 2 hours). I wake panicking and am unable to go back to sleep and feel upset all day.

The physical pain that occurs is more common than most people realise; it is psychosomatically induced often through profound fear. The dream seems to indicate that in your social life there is someone, most likely a male, with whom you feel close to but who blows hot and cold, a feature that disturbs you and possibly quite considerably.

Hi,
This is an other version on a sleep oaralysis dream. Your dream is trying to wake you up by frightening you with the idea that you can't move or can't shout.
The reason for the dreams is obvious! Your neck and head are in a bad position and that cause you neckache and breathlessness. In fact your dream is caused by your neck problem.
Try to change your pillows or mattress.
