Hi i need a nightmare to be explained, im a 21 years old and this is the only nightmare i ever had or at least remembered, the weird thing is that i saw it twice in two defferent ways and two defferent times (approxemately 1 month between them). the first dream goes like this, im driving my car in my small village in a street that i know and that really exists after 3-5 seconds of driving i see a ghost or a monster i didnt know what that creature exactly is but he was exteremly scary and very tall, he was like 15 meters away and i just drove through him and continue my driving, now my car was full, me and another 4 people i only recognized the one who was setting near to me (driver seat) he was my cousin and it was dark, like after 2:00 AM (the streets was tottaly empty). in that dream i didnt wake up i slept tell the morning. the second dream exactly like the first one but in this one the driver was my cousin its also was my car same street and time i was setting beside him i saw the monster and told my cousin just to drive throgh him but he got scared and hit the brake very strong till the car stopped right in front of that creepy creature i tried to get to the gas pedal but i couldnt i looked at the creature closely and then i woke up. any ideas guys, tnx in advance for possible helpers.
Did the monster scare you when you looked at it, in the second dream? Is that what caused you to wake up? To me, it seems like it's a calling to face your 'inner demons'. Are you quitting smoking, Dietary issues, etc?
Yeah the monster scare the hell out of me and thats the reason for the wake up and about the smoking, diet or so, no i dont smoke and im in a great shape (no need for diet), and theres nothing bothers me really i just going to start goin to the university in 3 months.
I used to see the same figure in my dreams. It is representative of a traumatic memory from childhood that we wish not to remember (in my opinion, the memory of the earliest dream). Most likely the instinctive and primitive urges which we have judged incompatible with the ego, therefore repressed out of consciousness. I describe it as a shadow monster. A vague threatening figure with no real consistency in his outline. The first time I remember seeing him, he was roughly 7 feet tall and was outside my front door trying to get in. I remember running to the door and locking it. Then I felt he was going to try and get in the side door, so I ran over to it and locked it just before he got there. I could feel his presence just on the other side of the door. Years after that, I saw him again only this time he had grown in size. I was standing on the lawn looking at the house that had country-like cellar doors on the outside. The shadow beast was now roughly the size of the house and was reaching through the cellar doors trying to find me. I was in disbelief staring at the situation. Years later, I managed to face and deal with this presence in my dreams. After finding it in a cabin on a mountain, I felt the anxiety and left. Later, I retraced my steps back to the cabin where I entered with renewed confidence. Upon entering, I thought "Everything in this room, I claim for my own." I saw and felt the dark energy dissipate and dissolve while an energizing feeling came over me (think Quickening from Highlander) also called Individuation in psychology. Jung calls it something of an alchemical process. After I woke up, I could recall the memory I had long forgotten. I personally believe it was my first dream, the moment the sexual impulse was revealed to my consciousness (somewhere around 4 yrs old). It was a somewhat personal memory (which is why it was repressed), so I don't care to tell it. I never had anything threatening chase me in my dreams after that. Years later, I saw the shadow thing again. This time he was at the beginning of a dream. I won't go into detail the whole dream, but basically it started out in a pitch black space. A small square-shaped tunnel was in front of me about head height, light coming from its exit. In order to crawl through the tunnel, I had to step over a small rectangular pool. I looked down and saw it was full of dark shadowy water. A voice spoke to me from behind me, "There's something down there." Curiously, I took a long deep gaze into the pool to see the outline of a thin gremlin-like creature swimming around making gurgling noises. I immediately shuddered away from the horrid thing and continued through the tunnel. I'm 100% sure it was the same figure from the earlier dreams, although it had shrunk in size/power and I was looking down at it, evidence of my superiority over it. Well, not much I can advise but try to accept the threatening figure. It's main purpose for chasing you is to get you to recognize its existence and accept it as a part of yourself. Good luck to you.
