Nightmare has me scared to sleep...Help!

[PaisleyButterfly]

Hello all

So last night I had a nightmare that I have thought about countless times today and now I am literally dreading going to bed for fear of having it again.

In the dream I am walking through an apt complex and I have 2 girls with me (about my same age). One is white and the other is Asian. We go into an apartment and after being in there for a few minutes decide to leave. But when we go to open the door it won't budge. So we go to the double window next to it and try to open it. It also doesn't open so we try to bust it out. We keep slamming into it and I at one point push both hands against the glass and it seems as if it opened because my hands are extended past the window pane. But instead the window just bulges out and looks like I am pressing my hands against saran wrap (sp?). I continue pushing and it finally bust open and I feel as if I am being sucked out and down towards hell. But somehow the Asian girl who is with me gets pulled down instead and she is screaming as it happens. There is a huge dark hole below the window and I screeching and moaning sound coming from it and then it closes up and me and the other girl climb out of the window and run. A little while later I remember thinking to myself that it must not have been after me but after the other girl...So I decide to go into another apartment and close the door. I know there was someone else w/ me, but not sure who. Kinda think it was my mom but not certain. Anyways, I go to open the door and the same thing happens again. I once again go to the window and push and push again to no avail. After a few minutes the window burst open and I am being sucked out again and I hanging on and looking down into the hole and starting to be pulled down and that is when I wake up. I was scared half to death when I woke and my heart was racing terribly. I laid there til I went back to sleep, to only have the dream all over again and wake up with the same feeling. I don't know where the dream left off the second time.

If anyone can offer up any ideas, I would appreciate. I have had nightmares but none that have ever scared me as badly


Thanks

i am not an expert but i know that when we dream its our consciences way of dealing through real life problems. i have heard that when you have dreams of being trapped or confined it mean that in life there is something that you maybe are being pushed into by someone else. are you in a situation that you dont want to be in or doing something you dont want to do? as far as being sucked into hell i think it has something to do with being forced into something you dont want to do and to you its going to have a bad outcome? hope that helps

If it was my dream, I would think the two women with you are also you. You are pushing against a window as if you are trying to break free but then it opens to an abyss, a dark great unknown. Do you have something in your waking life that makes you feel trapped but you feel like you have no other options? Nightmares are terrifying but can provide us a great insight into our subconscious. I wish you the best of luck.
