There are so many different nightmares that I've had... I'll start with this one:

So in my nightmare I find myself in some kind of sewer. It's really dark and it smells of metal and raw meat. I can kind of see what's around me. There's rusted walls and the "sewer water" that I'm standing in is actually blood. It's up to my waist and I'm trying to find my way out of this sewer. I look up and see that the walls go as high as I can see. The walls are made out of rusty metal and metal fence. On the sides of the sewer I can see mutilated and rotten bodies and body parts which are bleeding into the blood that I'm walking through. The air is hot and heavy and I finally find an open rusty metal barred door. I climb in (the entrance is maybe half my size) and I'm in a small cavity in the wall that i can barely fit my shoulders in. then I start to climb up the metal fence and I climb higher and higher. I don't care where it goes, as long as I'm out of that sewer. When I get to the top I see a hallway on the other side of the cramped cavity. I see two or three people walk by and they're in black suits. I scream at them hysterically asking them to get me out. They turn and look at me and just stare at me. They're not even trying to help me and I'm covered in blood and dirt....

That's all I remember... I assure you my other dreams are just as bad or worse... Why can't I just have a nice dream about sunny beaches??

I usually wonder that myself.. I never have had a good dream i also have bad dreams about my sisters or being in a messed up bloody or murderous surrounding .end of the world like scenarios. I think people who have nightmares constantly are people who have issues with trust and control.also people who have suffered some sort of traumatic event in thier life. One thing did help me once that stopped my bad dreams for a little while. one was trying to be more healthy eating healthier. Im a vegan so the meat thing your dreaming i can only say killing is killing im not trying to make anyone vegan but im just saying that its seriously that simple i was a meat eater and one day i had an epiphany about life and death and how i personally felt i didn't have the right to kill animals why would i want to make something feel helpless most of its life then have it butchered so i can have a piece of flesh next to my beans and rice? anyways..lol I know im not like most people maybe we all feel this way. you know isolated we can only bond with people as much as we allow them too. when your real life personal fears grow they manifest themselves in nightmares. extreme ones you must be an artist cause your dreams sound very creative like one. i am an artist and i have some vivid weirdness and horrid things happen in my dreams from being stalked by some insane violent man who uses an axe to cut my head off from behind when i fall to my knees tired from running to being in a world after the nuke. writing down your dreams in a journal helps not drinking alcohol for a while helps. maybe even if your on some meds occasionally side effects cause nightmares.. depending on how much of an effect they have on you is really relevant to how you can get better or try to get a better rest. your mind is doing overtime.. even in your sleep. take it easy and relax we all have similar fears. life is full of many dangers but we all have a bond to each other and those we love even if its a pet take care hope i helped in some way.. i know what your going through.. i woke up with a nightmare again for the first time in about 2 years of finally not having them.. Ive had nightmares since i was a baby. 2 years of peace and bam I flippin nightmare and here i am new to this but its pretty cool. hey humans who can truly fully explain them..lol

I usually meditate before I got to bed, and I think of something positive I am going to do to improve my life or someone I know.

i know what you mean i have the same problem. id like some advise on this too, although im not allways sleeping when it happens either. evernight before i go to bed im kept awake by these i guess u call them daymares?its allway violent, vivid and paralyzing, i cant seem to stop them. its one after another for hours. i try fighting it by trying to stop the bad things from happening, but i cant.

I really, really feel for you. I'm going through the same thing and have all my life. Even my good dreams are confusing and scary at best... I frequently have bizarre dreams and in the waking hours will mistake them for real memories. It's very scary and confusing... Your thread really hit home with me, because I had a dream almost identical to the one you had... Except it was out in the open, and there was a hill I had to get over... but in trying to get over the hill, I had to also crawl over human flesh... but if I swam around, I had to swim in the ocean which was filled up to nearly the surface with human flesh and internal organs... and the water was mostly blood. It was very, very creepy.
