A lot of my dreams have to do with real world problems or subconscious things that I’m holding in. I’ve already experience sleep paralysis and that was something I’ll never forget. It just really sucks because people have their dreams to escape and mine are usually based off work and home/ power struggle/ things were I have no voice, situations were I’m helpless.
Just awoke from a night mare ten minutes ago" my heart rate is very high, I can't take this stuff anymore it's been over 30 years since I started having these night terrors" they seem to be getting worse, hell I'm setting here on a toilet crying my eyes out and I am a very big man. For some reason I am always dreaming about those people in my family who have already passed away. One time I was having a night terror and I actually experienced a heart attack! I awoke from the night mare and I was rushed to the hospital" and after a couple of EKGs" they told me that I certainly had already had a heart attack" and if I were to go home that I was going to die. Try to understand something like that happening when you are just 28 years old' sorry for bothering everyone with my problem.
I can understand your pain. I experience them so bad sometimes as well they make me cry and I myself am a 26 year old man. People who haven't been through it can't understand how vivid they are and once you come back it leaves you with a chill up your spine the entire day. I hope we all one day are able to get passed this because it is indeed terrifying.
@The Perfect Otaku AJ Man I don't know if hardly getting any sleep at all is considered being better! But I am still alive and kicking only by the grace of God , my heart has been given more problems, I have to go back and get some more lab work done to find out the status, but I am trying to hold off until I can get some life insurance, before getting the final diagnosis. But I will let you know how it turns out.
i have bpd and am finishing my psych degree, and i had no idea that there was a connection between nightmares and bpd. i felt chills when you described the possible topics of bpd nightmares - falling, incomplete tasks, shame, and being chased - because those are ALWAYS somehow integrated into any dream or nightmare I've ever had. and then the nightmare disorder! i would call those long, vivid dreams of trying to avoid danger "sleep comas" because even if i woke up, i would immediately be too anxious to /not/ finish the dream, and i would go back to sleep. i would end up actually waking up around 4pm - and the nightmare is usually still not resolved by then. thank you so much for making this video! your descriptions were spot on and have helped me immensely
Nightmares, vivid distressing dreams, terrors, panic, since I was a kid and Sleep paralysis. Dreaming of traumas and hidden meanings in my dreams of violence and losing things that mean something to me, fear of sleeping because I never knew when the evil shadow demon was coming in my sleep to kill me... BPD is recently my diagnosis... And I always knew these things weren't normal. This video made sense of my life.
I have dreams that people I love are dying next to me or that I must kill them. There are points in my dream where I realize it’s not real but no matter how hard I try the dream keeps going I assume it’s real. I often have to brutally kill other people to survive... it feels so real and terrifying. I am so scared to fall asleep
When I used to have bad dreams as a kid, I would reach that same point of realization. What worked for me was, at that exact point when you realize it’s a dream, clinch your eyes shut tight as you can and then open them a second or two after. It used to do the trick for me. Funny thing is, after a little while of doing this trick, it’s as if my brain caught on that I was able to wake myself this way and tried to stop me by making it less affective, what worked right away once started to only work after a couple or a few tries. Though sometimes when I clinch my eyes in my dream, I stop “seeing” whatever it was, from what I can remember at the time of typing this anyways. All the best!
I used to have nightmares or dreams that would get weird. Now I just have bad dreams about people I’ve cared for, screwing me over. Usually with others I’ve cared for.
Wow! This is very informative and useful to know! I have had nightmares and night terrors since a little girl. I would have dreams of hands grabbing me:/ By the age of 15, four different adult men had molested me. I am now 63. When I have had night terrors I am unable to speak and even when I try and scream no sound comes out. I'm thankful these bad dreams are not as frequent, but when my 12 year old grandson was living here, he told me that I had nightmares and he tried unsuccessfully to wake me up. He told me I sounded terrified:/
Every time I’m experiencing something I swear he posts a video of exactly what I’m dealing with. I’ve been having nightmares lately that have been affecting my moods for the entire next day. I had a nightmare 3 days ago and have not been able to shake this feeling from this nightmare since. I feel strange and not like myself, I feel that I’m still in this dream. I don’t know how else to explain it but i feel very off or foreign. I’m not sure if this is related but I just want to feel normal again.
I had no idea my bpd could be the cause of these bad Dreams. It all makes a lot more sense. It's a shame that we deal with trauma as a child/teen and then we have to deal with more pain in our adult lives due to that trauma. I hope everyone can get help ❤️ Edit: This doesn't help with nightmares but ASMR has helped me fall asleep and go back to sleep after nightmares. Hope this helps someone
Watching this after I woke up from a nightmare at 4 am. It has gotten to a point where I might wake up and immediately start crying and most of the time when I fall asleep again, the dream continues or I get one that's even worse. I often decide to just stay awake because the sleep that I would get would make me feel even more exhausted, so here I am, at 5 am.
This happened to me and it was a nested dream. I kept waking up to find that I didn’t actually wake up and then tried to wake up again when I wasn’t actually waking up. This happened multiple times. When I tried to stop waking up, telling myself that someone would wake me up eventually, I had a pretty normal dream about a video game I used to play and then was woken up by my sister with a call from my parents. Somehow I knew it was real life, and not just another dream.
this just happened to me 🥺 I dreamt I was lost and left my phone at home, and I finally got back, then I woke up and checked my phone and some scary guy had took selfies of him on my phone, and I was like wtf, I swear I was awake and my eyes were moving a lot but I couldn’t move, then I wake wake up and check my phone and nothings there
Great video. Experiencing extreme nightmares which disturb me for days later. I know they're nightmares, but I feel tormented for days. I can waken & tell myself it's a nightmare. If I fall asleep again, I go back into the nightmare. Extremely unpleasant. I do have MDD, BPD with BP features & anxiety. I see a psychologist. Thanks again.
Dr Fox you are a sweetheart ! I giggled when you used the emoji to apologise for mispronouncing a word.... I wake up a lot in the night so I keep these self help videos on 24/7 so any anxiety is quickly alleviated . Rock on Dr. Fox !
this is showing me a whole side of bpd and is explaining so much of what happens to me. i’ve been having nightmares for the past two weeks. can’t stop thinking about ‘screenshots’ from the dreams. thank you for your help!
My mom passed away about 6 months ago. I’ve been dealing with it alright (able to suppress a lot of the bad memories/thoughts) but my little brother on the other hand has been having nightmares about her every night. I hope I can use this knowledge to help him.
Don’t supress anythin hun I suppressed my whole past well the severe part of it , I blocked it all out an forgot about it somehow but it came back 10 yrs later were I ended up having a severe breakdown an ending up gettin sectioned
I have vivid nightmares every night, most of the time the locations are the same but the circumstances vary. I am myself and able to make decisions for myself, but unable to effect the dream itself. Lately I haven't been able to wake up until my sleep self is killed by whatever is chasing me that time. Last night it was a serial killer who made me play hide and seek. Once I am awake, I am disoriented for at least an hour. Sometimes I'll vomit from the sheer stress. I used to enjoy them and find the nightmares thrilling. But now that I'm unable to wake up on my own, it's a lot scarier.
I have been diagnosed with BPD and I remember having frequent terrifying nightmares since childhood and it's still happening. In the last week or so I have about 3 terrifying sleep paralysis hallucinatory nightmares. Sometimes I am woken up by 'nobody' tapping me awake, or I hear and see things that are not there you'll be surprised that even if your eyes are closed you are able to 'see' , i can even feel tactile hallucinations during sleep paralysis. Sometimes I can feel myself getting choked or having nails digging into my skin. I can hear ghastly voices talking to me while having sleep paralysis. Perhaps these nightmares are spiritual in nature.
@@donnekasteadman2983 Listening to King James Bible audio while I am sleeping and falling asleep really helps me and I still do it and recently bought a 62 cd set of Alexander Scourby reading the KJV. I bought a wonder Bible with a little speaker too and I use that too even during the day or walking around and it helps and I learn quite alit about the Bible and even where to locate things in there easier Also, praying before bed. When my parents were able they would pray for me I remember and they would put annointing oil (olive oil I think) on my forehead and above my bed and the doorposts and window and pray for Jesus to help me and dispatch angels to help me. FreeavBible. com website is great in my opinion because they have the audio matched up with words onscreen and it's really nice. The Bible is on here too (youtube) and I have it complete and in order in a playlist and also phone apps can work good too. Especially the ones that let you download it so you can use it even with no available internet. Please pray before bed too in Jesus Christ Holy name and if you are not currently please believe on Jesus Christ and his death, burial and resurrection. He came so we could be forgiven of our sins and have eternal life with Jesus in Heaven. Jesus lived a sinless life and was born of a virgin named Mary and gave his life for us on the cross in our place and is coming again soon in the clouds on a white horse as a righteous judge🙏 God bless you Donneka my friend. I will be praying for in Jesus name
it's been months that my dreams transformed into nightmares. i really don't know what to do, i feel the nightmare like i was really in it. like once, ive been killed and then i woke up with my stomach extremely hot, like the sword in my dreams really touched my stomach.
Im here cause I wake up at 2am with recurring nightmares thst havnt gone away from my childhood. Its the same figures or characters that make there way into my dreams, evil things that stalk me and drive me to a point of murder and madness. Killing dogs and blood baths, I wake up sometimes crying thinking im an evil person when I cant even kill a lizard.
I deeply appreciate your videos. Each one has been so helpful for both my husband and I; they have allowed us to have wonderful conversations on handling my BPD. Thank you so very much for delivering the information in a clear and compassionate manner.
Thank you for making this, I have lots of waking up during the night where I just feel anxious. Taking me a pretty good time to get to sleep again... And being diagnosed BPD, a week ago. With PTSD and several more things it all seems to come together now. How severe ones mental state can do so much damage in so many ways.
It is 2:21 AM. I'm dreamed about punching my crush's boyfriend to the ground and yet lost interest for her at all. But I haven't kill him yet, and it make me uneasy. It is terrifying to feel the real emotion's of a dream impacting life even though we knew it wasn't real.
Thank you for this video. I do nightmares that are not about monsters or what, but random situations that happened or could happen my life, it inculdes sensations of loneliness, shame, embarassement, violence, being chased by a toxic girl I use to know,.. they wake me up shaking in my bed, fighting with my pillow. When I wake up I'm shoked, the dreams were so intense, It takes me hours to cool down.
A lot of my dreams are always nightmares...usually involves demonic things..evil spirits, killers, sometimes I have dreams of mass shootings and they happen so much to the point I do get scared to sleep. Does this mean anything?
I’ve been dreaming of all those negative things too, for Instance I saw my grandmother in hell facing down the devil , and then another dream was my school turning into horrific monsters and slaying each other in a field , and rest are survival dreams which killers , demons , my family, and apocalyptic disasters all attempt to kill me . All these I cannot forget because I’ve lived through it 1000 + times seen it repeat for years and and gave me ptsd which impairs my ability to function so I’m always nervous and suffer from anxiety because for me they’re way to real and i honestly feel cursed because I can’t recall a handful of good dreams all Ik is nightmares
I have had nightmares my entire life. Seasons of fear to go to bed and fear of sleeping. Sometimes you can’t wake up. Most of the time in danger, but I can’t get anyone to understand we have to leave and escape. Lots of times I wake up and am terrified. It’s all I can do to move and rush to turn a light on (1/2 the time I’ve fallen asleep on the couch.) I’m 65. At 55 diagnosed with Bipolar type 2. At 57 with ADD. I had to retire early. 2-3 years ago New intrusive memories began forcing themselves to the surface. 15 months ago diagnosed with CPTSD. I had never even heard of it. Have a great therapist and have taken several CBT classes. These are very helpful for coping strategies and understanding. Last session, my doctor said she thought I may have BPD. I really don’t know if I was misdiagnosed or if I have both. Dealing with this terrifies me, but I don’t care. If I have to spend the rest of my life working on this, fine. Starting a DBT class in February.
This is so interesting, I have never connected these two issues. Since childhood I have had sleep paralysis, nightmares and problems falling asleep or staying asleep.
Can you please help me. I have been having horrible nightmares and night terrors (I have even hit my love in the middle of the night because in my sleep someone was grabbing me). I have done this twice in one year and I have nightmares every night. They are so gruesome. Last night I was trying to hide a four-day-old corpse. He was heavy and cold. The day before, I was watching a little girl who was decapitated at the waist, crawl across the floor to me in a public bathroom covered in blue tile. Every time I close my eyes to try to sleep, I’m met with an image so scary. I’m so tired of having horrible dreams that feel so real
One of my best friends growing up came to stay at my house about 8 months ago after not seeing each other for 6 years. He ended up randomly pulling out a loaded gun, and it scared me pretty bad and now I have dreams almost every night since about him pulling out a gun on me and tries to kill me. I had to stop being his friend and cut him off completely because of it.
I had no idea there is so much more I can learn about dreams and nightmares to help me understand what they are- theories as to why I have always had them and suggestions so I can help myself. Thank you!
I have a normal dream just about every 2 months, otherwise I have nightmares. They are very sophisticated. I wake up with sore muscles. I remember all my nightmares from about 3 years ago to now. And there are certain ones that stick out more then others, those ones were the worst ones. Just wanted to share my part, thanks for reading.
I have a diagnosis of BPD but I no longer have these disorders. I struggled with both nightmares and dream anxiety as a child. Now that I see this it may have been a risk factor for BPD although I also experienced child abuse. I had horrible nightmares with all kinds of monsters. One reoccurring dream that I remember having was hearing my name whispered from a dark closet or room. I was often scared to fall back asleep and would wake my parents up which they rarely responded kindly to. It got so bad that I experienced lucid dreams where I would consciously try to wake myself up. If that didn’t work, I would resort to dying in the dream by either letting the monster catch me or jumping off of a building. Sometimes I would wake up in a dream and only realize I was still dreaming when things felt unreal or started to go bad again. I would then wake myself up only to find myself in another dream. It was horrible.
I have the same experience as you, I still get nightmares every now and then, but nothing close to the terrifying monsters I saw at night as a child. I'm sorry that children go through such terrible things without comfort for so many years. I would stay up as late as I could in fear of falling asleep.
I've been having a recurring nightmare theme for the last 2 weeks. It wakes me up every single night. I've been visited in my sleep by a recurring presence that has told me point blank it won't go away and it's trying to terrorize me. I've felt a recurring fear of harm and great loss. I wake up in the middle of the night and am afraid to go back to sleep because it will still be there. The dreams are very vivid and horrifying and I don't know what to do. I just wish I wasn't dreaming at all.
Flipping hell! I believed for ages I just had C-PTSD and surely I have some symptoms but now I know my major disorder is borderline. But for example Almost every dream I remember is traumatic or disturbing via feeling or what happened. Can’t wait to watch. Got in early haha
Having extremely vivid dreams , nightmares about tornadoes , earthquakes , natural disasters and family dying it's so intense and leaves me dazed and confused for the first half of the day sometimes they are so jaring, I've been told I most likely am schizophrenic or bpd with depression by my last family doctor but haven't been truely diagnosed , I've also been in horibble relationships and experienced the worst heart break from these relationships , I am still fighting along though but when sleep is your only escape sometimes from the world it makes it almost a living he'll to know that you can't have any solice or peace weather your awake or asleep it's extremely exhausting and seems so hopeless and I'm so tired of living my life in fear and complete despair, I can't have any relationships with women or quality relationships with family or friends because of this , man I can only pray this becomes better and trust in god and have faith , there are some days that are good but the bad far out number the good so I just bid my time and try and stay as positive as possible in my current state
Hi man just wondering what your situation is like nowadays as I see your comment was a few years ago. I only ask coz I can relate well, been seeing all sorts of doctors and medications but nothing helps
@@ElDubz420 well man ... tell me what's happening .... be honest don't suger coat anything it's important and tell me what's going on in your life it's obviously got to be rough considering this is what you replied to I assume... then I'll let you know either way what's been happening and where I'm at now 4 years later ... I'll be honest to
I just had a nightmare about 30 minutes ago, I remember a decent amount of it, I felt like an idiot for not thinking first and it seems unfair that this happened to them.
I have BPD and my therapist hasn’t told me about this. I really need to talk to her about it because it’s taking over my life. I had a dream my dog was dying in my arms about an hour ago and I can’t get back to sleep. This was really helpful though. Thank you
I do not have good dreams just nightmares. I use to wake up crying from them cause they were so sad. But now they are very disturbing and gruesome. Thing is I do not watch those types of things so I wake up very distraught.
I had a dream when I was facing a hacker on my game, and he took over my entire console and my other devices such as my phone, laptop, etc. My parents weren’t home in the dream at the time, so I went online and tried to get help for my situation. But the hacker blocked access from the websites I was trying to use, which caused me to feel nervous and scared, terrified on how my parents were gonna react. I then woke up panicking, I felt really tired, I felt destroyed, and in general I felt weird.
I don’t have BPD (at least I haven’t been diagnosed) but every dream I have is a nightmare. I have nightmares about gore, blood, hangings, talking to demons, my family being possessed, my boyfriend leaving me, etc. It’s been this way for the past 10 years:( I have no idea why this is happening to me
Oh my gosh I’ve experienced so many times waking up feeling so anxious or angry like something terrible just happened. Very hyper vigilant. It has affected whole days in the past. I have also tried to avoid my past abuser over and over again in a dream and other things.
Thank you so much for this, it's an area I have never looked into. I've had bad nightmares/sleep paralysis/anxiety/panic attacks during/around sleep but just tried to accept it as something I have to put up with. I have taken mental health courses on sleep hygiene and things but the typical advice never helped me. I needed to have sound on or have someone pet me to sleep (or just be tired). Sadly my brain just views bed as a bad thing so I really struggle to sleep in it. I will be sure to bring this up when I start therapy. I've been in and out of therapy since 2006 and not a single therapist has spoken to me in depth about my sleep. Thank you! I hope it is something that can be fixed! Having restful nights and less frightening/painful dreams sounds bliss.
My dreams are me being chased and I'm always lost and can't get out of the situation I'm always in a maze and running away from someone trying to hurt me, it all started when I was in a domestic violence situation with a stalker that tried to kill me, ever since these dreams seem very real and sometimes I never escape I'm always lost and can't get out😥
I have a nightmare of me in scary places and falling off a building and I woke up with my heart pounding and I tell myself it's just a dream no need to panic and I breathe in to help me with my fears
I've noticed that 90% of the time I don't remember my dreams, but I've noticed every morning I wake up I'm in always in a bad mood. My husband asks me why I can't wake up happy?. I try but it doesn't happen very often. I have been diagnosed with BPD, Bipolar 1, PTSD, anxiety, major depressive disorder, panic attacks, social anxiety, agoraphobia. I definitely have issues going anywhere even the grocery store. I had a DNA test they found out I have barely any sertonin( happy chemical) I have been on every medication they have for depression nothing works. every meds they have for bipolar, and Don't work. I've been trying lithium on it 4weeks doesn't work either. I haven't been able to get thearapy everyone says I'm a tough case. No one has helped me been going there for 3 years and nothing no coping skills at all. I just want to get help that specializes in these areas. was told that this is the last med I haven't tried lithium.
I'm learning that my frequent nightmares are related to various traumas I've gone through. I'm working with my therapist to learn how to interrupt my dreams to stop things from taking negative courses. I've been working on this, and my dreams have still been awful, but I'm slowly able to stop them from becoming traumatic night terrors.
I have BPD and anxiety. I have been having nightmares almost every night recently. They involve my fiancé leaving me and completely shutting me out. Everyone is on his side and I am so sad and feel voiceless. It’s awful. I wake up so sad and anxious.
I had no idea that this was a thing that should be looked into. My nightmares usually involve pain or apex predators real and imagined trying to eat me. I've also had my throat slit and other things that I don't want to put into writing. It all goes back to my ptsd from spinal fusion surgery and the poor management of my pain post op. Super interesting, thanks.
i always watch this kind of videos after i wake up from my nightmare crying and this sort of video always comfort me because i never know whats going on with me or even how to stop it since im a teenager and cant get the helped i needed
I've had nightmares my whole life every night. I have no idea why. It makes the quality of my life terrible, but nobody cares because my nightmares aren't real. I don't know how to make it stop.
My nightmare was being tooken to " school " at 10:57 at night so I could finish my homework. On the outside it looked like my uncle's house. but on the inside it looks like this mansion and it was really hard to get around. I run down the hall and find my favorite teacher Mr. Young watching the cameras to go to my uncle's house ( which is apparently the school ) I go back to get my sister and everyone had already left. Did I hear barking and whining so I go and look out the window. At first I thought they were dogs. but they turned into the puppets from Elmo and started trying to climb into the window. I ran back to try and get mr. Young but he wasn't there. Then I woke up. ( I'm not even joking I'm horrified of those Elmo dudes!!!! )
My nightmares are always about my grandma changing into a werewolf. She is always telling me to be like her. I've been experiencing a lot of deja vu moments and also hearing a voice in my head
This is totally an overlap of having both Complex PTSD as well as BPD. For my situation,, anyway. I know when I'm fully awake when my stomach turns (so to speak).
I vomit almost everyday when I wake up . Nightmares every night . I usually wake up and almost fall off the bed . I have to wake up hours before my workshift because I panic so bad I can't drive while under this morning curse . I've had it for years and contemplated suicide because it never stops . I'm used to it now but it's made me scared to sleep most of the time and has affected my life severely .
Yes. I'm a mom with a daughter (23yr) who has concurrent disorders. Sleep issues, night terrors, eating disorder, self harm, anxiety, depression, BPD, treated as inpatient for psychosis, mania, depression, anxiety etc. Her rage episodes have become more frequent since she has been put onto Suboxone. She also stopped her anti-psycotics and not taking meds at all or, on a regular basis. Sometimes she screams and cries out in her sleep.
@@mmmmmetoo1583 I'm on suboxone to and it can effect your sleep especially if your going through stress , it's best she gets off of it within a year long enough for her to get back in touch with reality and rebuild her life and stay away or make new friends , my family didn't help me they saw it as a weakness so I had no one to really be there for me pschologicoly and it took years so I'm glad for your daughter that you are there for her , it will help the process along so much to have someone to talk to about her problems , your a good mom for being so attentive and reaching out for help I will help if you want I have bpd as well
I just woke up now from a nightmare that is similar to so many nightmares I have all time And I’m so tired of it I always dream about dangerous animals trying follow me It’s scary and disturbing I always wake up with a headache and anxiety
The last couple of years i have a lot of sleep paralysis. It happens only when i am laying on my back. Its like being awake while dreaming. When i panick, i am mumbling and when my girlfriend comes to wake me, i hear her approaching and i know she just comes to help me but my mind thats still dreaming sometimes makes her footsteps a scary thing. Its really strange. Otherwise i sleep good and am fit during the day.
I keep having these intense nightmares, sometimes loved ones die, sometimes I do. but it's hard to remember anything the day before,like events that I did. or any type of activity.
Uhmm I don't know to whom or to where I can ask for help. I've never been to a psychologist to check my mental health situation, but throughout my life, I'm always having a bad dream, and bad experiences in which it made me always nervous, scared, and not always focus in my tasks. I'm always confused and feel lifeless whenever I wake up. I also don't even know the purpose of myself for getting up of bed. I just woke up as I'm typing this comment, and I want to share what was my dream about. I dreamt about family gathering or reunion. Everyone seemed enjoying throughout the gathering, and I'm just sitting on the couch as I watch them enjoying themselves with other's company. As I look at them, my eyes got attention to this guy and I saw him looking at me, starring to me, he was like thinking deeply as he look at me. When I saw him, I went to every part of the house and I always see that he's always following me and I decided to go to my room and take a warm bath to relax my mind. When I completely removed my clothes, someone hugged me from the back and when I look, it was him. I got scared and I don't know what to do, afterwards I see something flickering behind of us and I forced myself to move away from the guy and I fell down on the floor and then there I saw a kid who's taking pictures of us. I suddenly ran into the kid and chase him. I cried and cried and begged for the kid to remove the photo because it was a misunderstanding. When the other people in the gathering see the picture of me, the feel disgusted and tell to many negatives things about me and infront of me so after that, I decided to lock myself on my room and never speak to anyone. I was so scared, and nervous by that time. My family even think that I'm already dead, but one time when I get up to my bed and went to the mirror in my room, I saw myself- too skinny, and looks like I'm already dead. I cannot hold my dream anymore so I immediately wake up. I wake up with so much tears falling down in my face. I'm also sweating and shaking as I woke up. I don't know what to do anymore. And this is what I'm always dreaming, like someone is always chasing me and I'm always get caught until my dream became to disturbing until I cannot hold it anymore. I always feel helpless. Please help me.
90% of dreams are man made by electricity. Here are the values: The frequency in Hertz of the dreams are around 300Mhz for the high and around 7 hz for the low value. The electric field values on my sleeping bed of each dream range from 40-70 v/m a set of 4 or 5 values before the peak which can be usually around 120 V/m and can go up to 400 V/m if the want to wake you up or shake your heart. Especially if you have excess toxic conductive metals like silver or copper.
Please help me, I’m a 15 year old and I’ve had nightmares since I was little. It’s getting worse and worse. My dreams physically hurt and I remember them all. I’m starting to give up on life, it’s to much. It happens every night and it’s terrifying. Once I am asleep I can’t wake up until my dreams plays out. Once I’m asleep I have no connection with my body or anything that happens outside of the dream. I’m begging you please help me. It’s night time as I write this and I’m crying, I don’t want to sleep. My mom keeps saying that she is working on it but it doesn’t feel like it. I tell her over and over again that I don’t want to sleep but she forces me to. She says it’s not an option and I need to sleep. I know that deep down she is try her best to help me but I can’t take this much longer. Every time I wake up my mind is flooded with my nightmares, haunting my whole day till I have to go to sleep again and dream up a new nightmare to haunt me the next day. It’s to much, my impressions of people and memory’s of them is starting to get flooded with nightmare versions of them. It’s getting harder and harder to tell what’s real or nightmare.
I’ve had terrible nightmares regularly since I was 13 or 14. I believe i have bpd and am a “quiet” borderline. Therapist and psychiatrist don’t believe I have it, but they don’t see me at my worst. They say I don’t have it but only see once every couple of months. I’m lucky that I have some money and that has buffered me a lot from some of the repercussions of having bpd.
Hey is it normal to have dream every single day and remembering it vividly, it's just a random dream but recently it affected my emotions and I cannot devide whether it's a dream or not, and sometimes when I dream I couldn't wake up even if my alarm is ringing. I think I'm going crazy now
I have might terrors as soon as i go to bed. I go to sleep immediately but wake up 20 minutes later from nightmares. I just heard of night terrors and think that's what I am having. Researching it now.
I have nightmare ever night. Literally every night, I wakeup heart racing and I'm so tired...I wish if these nightmare would just go away. I want to sleep normal.
This few years . i saw in my dream people getting trouble, becoming sick, becoming poor and disable. I think this is black magic. Or maybe one of disorder. How to clear this bad dream. I saw people crying, several times. i dont know who are they. This is so scary. Im si worry.
I Have terrible Nightmares about my Family and Bad Stuff happening to them. Now I get 4-8 nightmares each night and I remember them all. I can't sleep well because of this and this has been going on for the last year. I haven't Experienced Sleep Paralysis YET which I'm happy but still these nightmares are unbearable I need some real help
I'm really sorry to hear that you're going through this. Nightmares can be incredibly distressing, especially when they're about loved ones. Have you considered talking to a professional? They might be able to help you find some relief.
I'm not sure if this is relevant but basically I get these night terrors but instead of it being like a demon or a zombie its mental pressure and anxiety but it's so stressful and insane that you can't think straight,anyways I wil explain how the night terror goes,so,everything's dark and your not really in a body your kind of like,watching a video in full screen and so your about to go into final form to save the planet or somthing and it's really important and if you mess up then your fucked,anyways as I say that I'm going to ascend or something like that,I completely mess up and a HUGE wave of fear,anxiety and stress and embarrassment hits me and I try to fix things but everything is getting worse and there are people around me that are scared and confused and I'm trying to make things right but it just doesn't work and I wake up sweaty,in tears and THEN my family tells me that I was walking around the house terrified and completely confused (I commonly get night terrors ) and so it has been happening to be for a long time,please tell me what's going on,I also have a hard time falling to sleep,you will probably never see this though...
Hi. What's your situation like nowadays? I have been suffering the same kinda thing for about 2 years now, no medications they've gave me or doctors I've spoken to have helped
I’m still not sure to this day what it feels like to have i guess what i’ve discovered is called an anxiety dream, but they way you explain it in pretty sure these are what i’ve been getting ever since elementary school, they only come once in a while but when they do it’s usually only when i have a dream about something that would definitely cause anxiety in real life. I would wake up and feel like everything is seriously fake, and everything is just so large and i always seem to freak out the most is when i start thinking about my hands and how big they are and just how everything is so weird especially myself. I’m obviously panicking the whole time i’m awake and trying to get back to sleep feels like such a CHORE. this time i went and talked to my mom but she didn’t understand and told me to just go back to sleep. it could be Derealization ( i’ve been feeling this more and more randomly these days ) at the same time of my panic and anxiety attack i’m not sure, but it would be nice to see if anyone else goes through this too.
I’ve got dream anxiety and it’s mainly due to my stress levels-I find that when I have low dosage cannabis at night that it helps but I’ve been away from cannabis for a few months because I’m looking for a new job and afraid I need to do a urinalysis. But cannabis really helps my stress... I’m trying to get into meditation and staying away from caffeine. But covid has hit hard in my home-so much extra stress right now. Thanks for the info.
BRO SAME IVE GOT DREAM ANXIETY AND THE ONLY THING THAT STOPS IT IS CANNABIS. but when i insist on doing it to my girlfriend, (she hates it) shes always upset with me, but all it does is make me feel better. People just cant see that
I have intense dreams but I eat red meat or drink alcohol to dull them when I feel overwhelmed. I try not to eat anything too greasy or spicy before bed. I don’t take meds because it made me feel more paranoid and CBD oil saved me from my phobias and BPD. I try not to complain or blame and just accept and absorb with non judgement whatever comes to me.
Interesting... ●there seems to be a lot of similarities between the symptoms of BPD and PTSD. I'm a little confused to be honest. I've only been diagnosed with ptsd due to a few varying moderate-severe traumas I've had.those traumas directly cause the night terrors and insomnia I am told... but idk ● I've had night terrors since around 4years old that have lessened but not totally gone away , and I'm in my late 20s. My fiance tells me often how he hears me yelling and crying in my sleep and sees me seizing too. My dreams are usually about someone trying to hurt me and/or my children, someone stealing my kids, and someone stabbing shooting drowning choking me. I have chronic pain issues and central sleep apnea that cause me to wake up many times a night and they seap into my dream world. ● as a background, I've been diagnosed with PTSD, insomnia, severe central sleep apnea with hyper -somnolence , ASD, MDD, psychogenic seizures, general anxiety disorder, and panic disorder. ● I have a fear of sleep due to my night terrors, nightmares, and the sleep apnea where I literally completely stop breathing on average 50times an hour. (Yes my ahi # makes it a very severe case and can be fatal) ● my biggest fear , that is unfortunately rational, is that I will never wake up and I will die leaving my children and fiance behind so that terrifies me more and keeps me awake . I'm only sleeping 3-4hours at night. With my hyper somnolence during the day and breathing issues , I am constantly falling asleep while in the middle of tasks like cleaning, cooking, and watching tv. My eyes will roll uncontrollably and the extreme fatigue is almost painful. This severity is new for me I've only had it for about 2 years now.
verseus keyblade master Read Jesus Prayer before bed, if you want to sleep in peace: “Our Father in heaven: May your holy name be honored; may your Kingdom come; may your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today the food we need.+ Forgive us the wrongs we have done, as we forgive the wrongs that others have done to us. Do not bring us to hard testing, but keep us safe from the Evil One.’ biblehub.com/gnt/matthew/6.htm
I don't have many times the nightmare that affect me physical. But this is the third one.and worry me. I need to diagnose this. Don't have a location. First and second timenwas pain chest and ready to make an hard attack. Now.. I dreamed I was suffocating by someone and I was paralyzed. I let the person to do this but my luck the dreams stoped. I was ready to not breath at all. I am so scared and I have headache.i think Its because I live alone and I am stressed and it's new for me this ...and I have depression (the most important fact)
I keep having nightmares about many different things such as torture of drowning and this morning I just woke up to a nightmare of abuse and I am having more of these. I am finding the dreams disturbing and I keep remembering them. Can someone tell me what this is?
Being woken up 4 times a night due to bad dreams. Mostly they comprise of my ex partner and I'm dying in the dream but not waking up sometimes. Feels like i re spawn in the dream and try another way to wake myself up. Its driving me crazy. I'm so tired all day
Have you done a video targeting the topic of people diagnosed with BPD and having jealous feelings or retroactive jealousy in romantic relationships? I suffer from severe jealousy and paranoia about people that my boyfriend used to be involved with. This worries me because I know that narcissistic people tend to get really jealous as well, and I really hope that this doesn't mean that I'm narcissistic. I need some help with this issue and I've been trying to get the help I need for months about it now
I seem to have a sleep issue that is odd. Because of nightmares but also because of obsessions with doing certain activities and finding time to be alone, I sometimes avoid or deny myself sleep. I also use lack of sleep as a self-harm outlet. I call it Sleep Anorexia. I don’t know how to combat this. Does this happen to anyone else?
Yesterday I was awake but had a nightmare...so I usually sleep past 4 am and on (it's morning outside whenever I sleep) my sleeping schedule is a big mess but yesterday I decided to sleep at 1 Am so it was toooooooo dark in my room I was laying on my wide bad with my cat I couldn't just sleep easily it takes me hours to sleep....because I overthink ;-; I can't stop thinking so I was closing my eyes laying down with my cat and then suddenly I had a nightmare where I'm laying on my bed but my cat is not there he disappeared I was confused about how he just Disapeared and then I turned around and saw a creepy boy with a messed up face IT WAS a floating face with a neck he looked a little like Toys Story's Woody but really creepy and scary I jumped up and my hand passed through him! I immediately opened my eyes and looked at my bed and nothing was there my cat was sleeping peacefully!.I had this while I was awake......I never had a nightmare while I was awake so it was sooo Wierd....AND I REALISED THAT MY BROTHER HAS A TOY HEADLESS WOODY ;-; I mean I'm not scared of him but it felt like it was him 😂.The boy's face was so scary tho and my leg was sticking out my bed -.- xD I'll never forget this
Please can you explain the impact of menopause if you are borderline. My menopause lasted 10 years, I am now 60 and still wake up drenched in sweat about 5am. I think I must be dreaming anxiety. You can understand these things.
The answer would be too long to put here but there is evidence of BPD mood and other fluctuations during one's cycle. I would suggest charting your mood, temperature, sleep quality, and other issues for a few months and see your trend. I wish you well.
i finally started sleeping at night and every single night i been having a nightmare about zombie apocaylpses, as before i was going to sleep at 3 in the monring, i now going to sleep early. i now know why i never lked sleeping ;-;, i always get scary nightmares or i dream about people who dont know i exist rly :(

A lot of my dreams have to do with real world problems or subconscious things that I’m holding in. I’ve already experience sleep paralysis and that was something I’ll never forget. It just really sucks because people have their dreams to escape and mine are usually based off work and home/ power struggle/ things were I have no voice, situations were I’m helpless.
I agree. Journaling have helped many of my clients, you may want to try it. I wish you well.
Scariest thing that happens to me. I always try to scream for help but my psychiatrist told me to just try and relax but its nearly impossible
Being choked, voiceless with small shadow figures in the border of the room?
Nina help I’m so scared
Feeling like something always about to happen.. was stuck in panic attack land.. but I self over came it
Just awoke from a night mare ten minutes ago" my heart rate is very high, I can't take this stuff anymore it's been over 30 years since I started having these night terrors" they seem to be getting worse, hell I'm setting here on a toilet crying my eyes out and I am a very big man. For some reason I am always dreaming about those people in my family who have already passed away. One time I was having a night terror and I actually experienced a heart attack! I awoke from the night mare and I was rushed to the hospital" and after a couple of EKGs" they told me that I certainly had already had a heart attack" and if I were to go home that I was going to die. Try to understand something like that happening when you are just 28 years old' sorry for bothering everyone with my problem.

Hi, please watch this episode which seems like your case
ruclips.net/video/PpJb8ju2yTc/видео.html (last case)
I can understand your pain. I experience them so bad sometimes as well they make me cry and I myself am a 26 year old man. People who haven't been through it can't understand how vivid they are and once you come back it leaves you with a chill up your spine the entire day. I hope we all one day are able to get passed this because it is indeed terrifying.
@The Perfect Otaku AJ Man I don't know if hardly getting any sleep at all is considered being better! But I am still alive and kicking only by the grace of God , my heart has been given more problems, I have to go back and get some more lab work done to find out the status, but I am trying to hold off until I can get some life insurance, before getting the final diagnosis.
But I will let you know how it turns out.
I get you guys it's such a surreal feeling and I feel as if I still might be in the dream
i have bpd and am finishing my psych degree, and i had no idea that there was a connection between nightmares and bpd. i felt chills when you described the possible topics of bpd nightmares - falling, incomplete tasks, shame, and being chased - because those are ALWAYS somehow integrated into any dream or nightmare I've ever had.
and then the nightmare disorder! i would call those long, vivid dreams of trying to avoid danger "sleep comas" because even if i woke up, i would immediately be too anxious to /not/ finish the dream, and i would go back to sleep. i would end up actually waking up around 4pm - and the nightmare is usually still not resolved by then.
thank you so much for making this video! your descriptions were spot on and have helped me immensely
I am so glad the video is helpful. Be well.
@@DrDanielFox Doctor medication i can't deal with anxiety.
Same, I always tell people about these dreams. It's really really nice to know that there is a reason and I'm not the only one
Me neither im having a terrible time again with it this year
Nightmares, vivid distressing dreams, terrors, panic, since I was a kid and Sleep paralysis.
Dreaming of traumas and hidden meanings in my dreams of violence and losing things that mean something to me, fear of sleeping because I never knew when the evil shadow demon was coming in my sleep to kill me... BPD is recently my diagnosis... And I always knew these things weren't normal. This video made sense of my life.
I have dreams that people I love are dying next to me or that I must kill them. There are points in my dream where I realize it’s not real but no matter how hard I try the dream keeps going I assume it’s real. I often have to brutally kill other people to survive... it feels so real and terrifying. I am so scared to fall asleep
Sleeping is important try to get help xoxo
When I used to have bad dreams as a kid, I would reach that same point of realization. What worked for me was, at that exact point when you realize it’s a dream, clinch your eyes shut tight as you can and then open them a second or two after. It used to do the trick for me. Funny thing is, after a little while of doing this trick, it’s as if my brain caught on that I was able to wake myself this way and tried to stop me by making it less affective, what worked right away once started to only work after a couple or a few tries. Though sometimes when I clinch my eyes in my dream, I stop “seeing” whatever it was, from what I can remember at the time of typing this anyways.
All the best!
I used to have nightmares or dreams that would get weird.
Now I just have bad dreams about people I’ve cared for, screwing me over. Usually with others I’ve cared for.
Wow! This is very informative and useful to know! I have had nightmares and night terrors since a little girl. I would have dreams of hands grabbing me:/ By the age of 15, four different adult men had molested me. I am now 63. When I have had night terrors I am unable to speak and even when I try and scream no sound comes out. I'm thankful these bad dreams are not as frequent, but when my 12 year old grandson was living here, he told me that I had nightmares and he tried unsuccessfully to wake me up. He told me I sounded terrified:/
Awe that's awful I'm so sorry.
Wishing you to get rid of thèse good luck xoox
If you see this try herbs for their magickal uses.
Every time I’m experiencing something I swear he posts a video of exactly what I’m dealing with. I’ve been having nightmares lately that have been affecting my moods for the entire next day. I had a nightmare 3 days ago and have not been able to shake this feeling from this nightmare since. I feel strange and not like myself, I feel that I’m still in this dream. I don’t know how else to explain it but i feel very off or foreign. I’m not sure if this is related but I just want to feel normal again.
You may want to try some grounding techniques and journaling to help. I wish you well.
Dr. Daniel Fox thank you so much for replying! I will definitely look into grounding techniques
look into depersonalization and derealization, I’m struggling with what you have too. It’s connected to anxiety, hope you get better💕
angela 5234 thank you, I will definitely look more into it ❤️ hope you get better soon too
Tawny Rush you’re welcome! If you have Instagram you can dm me anytime my user is (angelaaholmes)
I had no idea my bpd could be the cause of these bad Dreams. It all makes a lot more sense. It's a shame that we deal with trauma as a child/teen and then we have to deal with more pain in our adult lives due to that trauma. I hope everyone can get help ❤️
Edit: This doesn't help with nightmares but ASMR has helped me fall asleep and go back to sleep after nightmares. Hope this helps someone
What is Asmr?
The shower is my so called 'portal'. Every night so many dreams. Reality starts to mesh with the dream state so the shower resets me a bit.
Watching this after I woke up from a nightmare at 4 am. It has gotten to a point where I might wake up and immediately start crying and most of the time when I fall asleep again, the dream continues or I get one that's even worse. I often decide to just stay awake because the sleep that I would get would make me feel even more exhausted, so here I am, at 5 am.
Wow.. this is 100% the EXACT thing I've been experiencing for years, but it's been extremely severe the last year
This happened to me and it was a nested dream. I kept waking up to find that I didn’t actually wake up and then tried to wake up again when I wasn’t actually waking up. This happened multiple times. When I tried to stop waking up, telling myself that someone would wake me up eventually, I had a pretty normal dream about a video game I used to play and then was woken up by my sister with a call from my parents. Somehow I knew it was real life, and not just another dream.
this just happened to me 🥺 I dreamt I was lost and left my phone at home, and I finally got back, then I woke up and checked my phone and some scary guy had took selfies of him on my phone, and I was like wtf, I swear I was awake and my eyes were moving a lot but I couldn’t move, then I wake wake up and check my phone and nothings there
Great video. Experiencing extreme nightmares which disturb me for days later. I know they're nightmares, but I feel tormented for days. I can waken & tell myself it's a nightmare. If I fall asleep again, I go back into the nightmare. Extremely unpleasant. I do have MDD, BPD with BP features & anxiety. I see a psychologist. Thanks again.
What gets me is not knowing what was in a dream and what was real.
I been dreaming about my ex every single night for almost 2 years it’s driving me crazy 😓

this is showing me a whole side of bpd and is explaining so much of what happens to me. i’ve been having nightmares for the past two weeks. can’t stop thinking about ‘screenshots’ from the dreams. thank you for your help!
You’re very welcome.
My mom passed away about 6 months ago. I’ve been dealing with it alright (able to suppress a lot of the bad memories/thoughts) but my little brother on the other hand has been having nightmares about her every night. I hope I can use this knowledge to help him.
Don’t supress anythin hun I suppressed my whole past well the severe part of it , I blocked it all out an forgot about it somehow but it came back 10 yrs later were I ended up having a severe breakdown an ending up gettin sectioned
This video helped me put feelings I've had for over 20 years into words.
Thank you so much for your kind words. I wish you well.
I have vivid nightmares every night, most of the time the locations are the same but the circumstances vary.
I am myself and able to make decisions for myself, but unable to effect the dream itself.
Lately I haven't been able to wake up until my sleep self is killed by whatever is chasing me that time.
Last night it was a serial killer who made me play hide and seek.
Once I am awake, I am disoriented for at least an hour. Sometimes I'll vomit from the sheer stress. I used to enjoy them and find the nightmares thrilling. But now that I'm unable to wake up on my own, it's a lot scarier.
I’m going through that right now it makes me feel like I’m going crazy
I have been diagnosed with BPD and I remember having frequent terrifying nightmares since childhood and it's still happening. In the last week or so I have about 3 terrifying sleep paralysis hallucinatory nightmares. Sometimes I am woken up by 'nobody' tapping me awake, or I hear and see things that are not there you'll be surprised that even if your eyes are closed you are able to 'see' , i can even feel tactile hallucinations during sleep paralysis. Sometimes I can feel myself getting choked or having nails digging into my skin. I can hear ghastly voices talking to me while having sleep paralysis. Perhaps these nightmares are spiritual in nature.
Jesus is the one that helped me everytime. Call on the name of Jesus and he will help you 🙂
@@davidc.8755 I've did it and it help but it happens some much every night
@@donnekasteadman2983 Listening to King James Bible audio while I am sleeping and falling asleep really helps me and I still do it and recently bought a 62 cd set of Alexander Scourby reading the KJV. I bought a wonder Bible with a little speaker too and I use that too even during the day or walking around and it helps and I learn quite alit about the Bible and even where to locate things in there easier Also, praying before bed. When my parents were able they would pray for me I remember and they would put annointing oil (olive oil I think) on my forehead and above my bed and the doorposts and window and pray for Jesus to help me and dispatch angels to help me. FreeavBible. com website is great in my opinion because they have the audio matched up with words onscreen and it's really nice. The Bible is on here too (youtube) and I have it complete and in order in a playlist and also phone apps can work good too. Especially the ones that let you download it so you can use it even with no available internet. Please pray before bed too in Jesus Christ Holy name and if you are not currently please believe on Jesus Christ and his death, burial and resurrection. He came so we could be forgiven of our sins and have eternal life with Jesus in Heaven. Jesus lived a sinless life and was born of a virgin named Mary and gave his life for us on the cross in our place and is coming again soon in the clouds on a white horse as a righteous judge🙏 God bless you Donneka my friend. I will be praying for in Jesus name
it's been months that my dreams transformed into nightmares. i really don't know what to do, i feel the nightmare like i was really in it.
like once, ive been killed and then i woke up with my stomach extremely hot, like the sword in my dreams really touched my stomach.
Im here cause I wake up at 2am with recurring nightmares thst havnt gone away from my childhood. Its the same figures or characters that make there way into my dreams, evil things that stalk me and drive me to a point of murder and madness. Killing dogs and blood baths, I wake up sometimes crying thinking im an evil person when I cant even kill a lizard.
I deeply appreciate your videos. Each one has been so helpful for both my husband and I; they have allowed us to have wonderful conversations on handling my BPD. Thank you so very much for delivering the information in a clear and compassionate manner.
You're very welcome and this is exactly why I make the videos.
Thank you for making this, I have lots of waking up during the night where I just feel anxious. Taking me a pretty good time to get to sleep again...
And being diagnosed BPD, a week ago. With PTSD and several more things it all seems to come together now. How severe ones mental state can do so much damage in so many ways.
It is 2:21 AM. I'm dreamed about punching my crush's boyfriend to the ground and yet lost interest for her at all. But I haven't kill him yet, and it make me uneasy. It is terrifying to feel the real emotion's of a dream impacting life even though we knew it wasn't real.
These videos calm my anxiety so much
Thank you for this video. I do nightmares that are not about monsters or what, but random situations that happened or could happen my life, it inculdes sensations of loneliness, shame, embarassement, violence, being chased by a toxic girl I use to know,.. they wake me up shaking in my bed, fighting with my pillow. When I wake up I'm shoked, the dreams were so intense, It takes me hours to cool down.
A lot of my dreams are always nightmares...usually involves demonic things..evil spirits, killers, sometimes I have dreams of mass shootings and they happen so much to the point I do get scared to sleep. Does this mean anything?
Chucky cheese animatronic malfunctioning,killers,etc....
I have a similar problem.
I have the same problem.
same here, currently just woke up from one 😭it's 4 am
I’ve been dreaming of all those negative things too, for Instance I saw my grandmother in hell facing down the devil , and then another dream was my school turning into horrific monsters and slaying each other in a field , and rest are survival dreams which killers , demons , my family, and apocalyptic disasters all attempt to kill me . All these I cannot forget because I’ve lived through it 1000 + times seen it repeat for years and and gave me ptsd which impairs my ability to function so I’m always nervous and suffer from anxiety because for me they’re way to real and i honestly feel cursed because I can’t recall a handful of good dreams all Ik is nightmares
I had a dream I'd eaten a giant marshmallow, when I woke up , my pillow was gone!
OH GOD POOP THAT CRAP OUT
Ha haaaaa thanks that's funny .
thats from dog man..
I have had nightmares my entire life. Seasons of fear to go to bed and fear of sleeping. Sometimes you can’t wake up. Most of the time in danger, but I can’t get anyone to understand we have to leave and escape. Lots of times I wake up and am terrified. It’s all I can do to move and rush to turn a light on (1/2 the time I’ve fallen asleep on the couch.)
I’m 65. At 55 diagnosed with Bipolar type 2. At 57 with ADD. I had to retire early. 2-3 years ago New intrusive memories began forcing themselves to the surface. 15 months ago diagnosed with CPTSD. I had never even heard of it. Have a great therapist and have taken several CBT classes. These are very helpful for coping strategies and understanding.
Last session, my doctor said she thought I may have BPD. I really don’t know if I was misdiagnosed or if I have both. Dealing with this terrifies me, but I don’t care. If I have to spend the rest of my life working on this, fine. Starting a DBT class in February.
Great attitude, it's not the diagnosis but the drive to manage the issues and concerns. DBT is great. Be well.
This is so interesting, I have never connected these two issues. Since childhood I have had sleep paralysis, nightmares and problems falling asleep or staying asleep.
Can you please help me. I have been having horrible nightmares and night terrors (I have even hit my love in the middle of the night because in my sleep someone was grabbing me). I have done this twice in one year and I have nightmares every night. They are so gruesome. Last night I was trying to hide a four-day-old corpse. He was heavy and cold.
The day before, I was watching a little girl who was decapitated at the waist, crawl across the floor to me in a public bathroom covered in blue tile.
Every time I close my eyes to try to sleep, I’m met with an image so scary.
I’m so tired of having horrible dreams that feel so real
Face the monsters in your dream. Don't be afraid of them. You're stronger.
Have you ever tried meditation? Prayer?
Pray ask Jesus for help I promise he’ll come through for u like he did for me❤️
Ever since I was a kid up until now, I always dream of being chased and escaping. I am 21 now btw.
One of my best friends growing up came to stay at my house about 8 months ago after not seeing each other for 6 years. He ended up randomly pulling out a loaded gun, and it scared me pretty bad and now I have dreams almost every night since about him pulling out a gun on me and tries to kill me. I had to stop being his friend and cut him off completely because of it.
I had no idea there is so much more I can learn about dreams and nightmares to help me understand what they are- theories as to why I have always had them and suggestions so I can help myself. Thank you!
I have a normal dream just about every 2 months, otherwise I have nightmares. They are very sophisticated. I wake up with sore muscles. I remember all my nightmares from about 3 years ago to now. And there are certain ones that stick out more then others, those ones were the worst ones.
Just wanted to share my part, thanks for reading.
I have a diagnosis of BPD but I no longer have these disorders. I struggled with both nightmares and dream anxiety as a child. Now that I see this it may have been a risk factor for BPD although I also experienced child abuse. I had horrible nightmares with all kinds of monsters. One reoccurring dream that I remember having was hearing my name whispered from a dark closet or room. I was often scared to fall back asleep and would wake my parents up which they rarely responded kindly to. It got so bad that I experienced lucid dreams where I would consciously try to wake myself up. If that didn’t work, I would resort to dying in the dream by either letting the monster catch me or jumping off of a building. Sometimes I would wake up in a dream and only realize I was still dreaming when things felt unreal or started to go bad again. I would then wake myself up only to find myself in another dream. It was horrible.
I have the same experience as you, I still get nightmares every now and then, but nothing close to the terrifying monsters I saw at night as a child. I'm sorry that children go through such terrible things without comfort for so many years. I would stay up as late as I could in fear of falling asleep.
That does sound difficult. You may want to explore this with a mental health provider and/or try journaling. I wish you both well.
Thank you for making this, Dr. Fox. You are compassionate and well-informed and we need more medical professionals like you out there.
I've been having a recurring nightmare theme for the last 2 weeks. It wakes me up every single night. I've been visited in my sleep by a recurring presence that has told me point blank it won't go away and it's trying to terrorize me. I've felt a recurring fear of harm and great loss. I wake up in the middle of the night and am afraid to go back to sleep because it will still be there. The dreams are very vivid and horrifying and I don't know what to do. I just wish I wasn't dreaming at all.
Flipping hell! I believed for ages I just had C-PTSD and surely I have some symptoms but now I know my major disorder is borderline. But for example Almost every dream I remember is traumatic or disturbing via feeling or what happened. Can’t wait to watch. Got in early haha
Having extremely vivid dreams , nightmares about tornadoes , earthquakes , natural disasters and family dying it's so intense and leaves me dazed and confused for the first half of the day sometimes they are so jaring, I've been told I most likely am schizophrenic or bpd with depression by my last family doctor but haven't been truely diagnosed , I've also been in horibble relationships and experienced the worst heart break from these relationships , I am still fighting along though but when sleep is your only escape sometimes from the world it makes it almost a living he'll to know that you can't have any solice or peace weather your awake or asleep it's extremely exhausting and seems so hopeless and I'm so tired of living my life in fear and complete despair, I can't have any relationships with women or quality relationships with family or friends because of this , man I can only pray this becomes better and trust in god and have faith , there are some days that are good but the bad far out number the good so I just bid my time and try and stay as positive as possible in my current state
hope u are doing well i feel your pain
Hi man just wondering what your situation is like nowadays as I see your comment was a few years ago. I only ask coz I can relate well, been seeing all sorts of doctors and medications but nothing helps
@@ElDubz420 well man ... tell me what's happening .... be honest don't suger coat anything it's important and tell me what's going on in your life it's obviously got to be rough considering this is what you replied to I assume... then I'll let you know either way what's been happening and where I'm at now 4 years later ... I'll be honest to
I just had a nightmare about 30 minutes ago, I remember a decent amount of it, I felt like an idiot for not thinking first and it seems unfair that this happened to them.
I have BPD and my therapist hasn’t told me about this. I really need to talk to her about it because it’s taking over my life. I had a dream my dog was dying in my arms about an hour ago and I can’t get back to sleep. This was really helpful though. Thank you
I do not have good dreams just nightmares. I use to wake up crying from them cause they were so sad. But now they are very disturbing and gruesome. Thing is I do not watch those types of things so I wake up very distraught.
Same here. I think ive had this for almost 2 weeks

I had a dream when I was facing a hacker on my game, and he took over my entire console and my other devices such as my phone, laptop, etc. My parents weren’t home in the dream at the time, so I went online and tried to get help for my situation. But the hacker blocked access from the websites I was trying to use, which caused me to feel nervous and scared, terrified on how my parents were gonna react. I then woke up panicking, I felt really tired, I felt destroyed, and in general I felt weird.
I don’t have BPD (at least I haven’t been diagnosed) but every dream I have is a nightmare. I have nightmares about gore, blood, hangings, talking to demons, my family being possessed, my boyfriend leaving me, etc. It’s been this way for the past 10 years:( I have no idea why this is happening to me
Oh my gosh I’ve experienced so many times waking up feeling so anxious or angry like something terrible just happened. Very hyper vigilant. It has affected whole days in the past. I have also tried to avoid my past abuser over and over again in a dream and other things.
Thank you so much for this, it's an area I have never looked into. I've had bad nightmares/sleep paralysis/anxiety/panic attacks during/around sleep but just tried to accept it as something I have to put up with. I have taken mental health courses on sleep hygiene and things but the typical advice never helped me. I needed to have sound on or have someone pet me to sleep (or just be tired). Sadly my brain just views bed as a bad thing so I really struggle to sleep in it.
I will be sure to bring this up when I start therapy. I've been in and out of therapy since 2006 and not a single therapist has spoken to me in depth about my sleep. Thank you! I hope it is something that can be fixed! Having restful nights and less frightening/painful dreams sounds bliss.
It is often overlooked. Be well.
My dreams are me being chased and I'm always lost and can't get out of the situation I'm always in a maze and running away from someone trying to hurt me, it all started when I was in a domestic violence situation with a stalker that tried to kill me, ever since these dreams seem very real and sometimes I never escape I'm always lost and can't get out😥
Praying for you in Jesus name friend 🙏📖
I have a nightmare of me in scary places and falling off a building and I woke up with my heart pounding and I tell myself it's just a dream no need to panic and I breathe in to help me with my fears

I've noticed that 90% of the time I don't remember my dreams, but I've noticed every morning I wake up I'm in always in a bad mood. My husband asks me why I can't wake up happy?. I try but it doesn't happen very often. I have been diagnosed with BPD, Bipolar 1, PTSD, anxiety, major depressive disorder, panic attacks, social anxiety, agoraphobia. I definitely have issues going anywhere even the grocery store. I had a DNA test they found out I have barely any sertonin( happy chemical) I have been on every medication they have for depression nothing works. every meds they have for bipolar, and Don't work. I've been trying lithium on it 4weeks doesn't work either. I haven't been able to get thearapy everyone says I'm a tough case. No one has helped me been going there for 3 years and nothing no coping skills at all. I just want to get help that specializes in these areas. was told that this is the last med I haven't tried lithium.
Are u okay now?
Prayer ask Jesus to help u it’ll get so much better I promise ❤️
I'm learning that my frequent nightmares are related to various traumas I've gone through. I'm working with my therapist to learn how to interrupt my dreams to stop things from taking negative courses. I've been working on this, and my dreams have still been awful, but I'm slowly able to stop them from becoming traumatic night terrors.
It’s a process and please don’t give up. You can do it.
I have BPD and anxiety. I have been having nightmares almost every night recently. They involve my fiancé leaving me and completely shutting me out. Everyone is on his side and I am so sad and feel voiceless. It’s awful. I wake up so sad and anxious.
I had no idea that this was a thing that should be looked into. My nightmares usually involve pain or apex predators real and imagined trying to eat me. I've also had my throat slit and other things that I don't want to put into writing. It all goes back to my ptsd from spinal fusion surgery and the poor management of my pain post op. Super interesting, thanks.
Hey can i contact your for survey? I need to ask.
i wonder if we get possessed when we are under anaesthetic
I am done with 'its only dreams don't worry' shit so so much.... Good video.
i always watch this kind of videos after i wake up from my nightmare crying and this sort of video always comfort me because i never know whats going on with me or even how to stop it since im a teenager and cant get the helped i needed
I've had nightmares my whole life every night. I have no idea why. It makes the quality of my life terrible, but nobody cares because my nightmares aren't real. I don't know how to make it stop.
My nightmare was being tooken to " school " at 10:57 at night so I could finish my homework. On the outside it looked like my uncle's house. but on the inside it looks like this mansion and it was really hard to get around. I run down the hall and find my favorite teacher Mr. Young watching the cameras to go to my uncle's house ( which is apparently the school ) I go back to get my sister and everyone had already left. Did I hear barking and whining so I go and look out the window. At first I thought they were dogs. but they turned into the puppets from Elmo and started trying to climb into the window. I ran back to try and get mr. Young but he wasn't there. Then I woke up.
( I'm not even joking I'm horrified of those Elmo dudes!!!! )
My nightmares are always about my grandma changing into a werewolf. She is always telling me to be like her. I've been experiencing a lot of deja vu moments and also hearing a voice in my head
Also I always wake up at 3 in the morning now and it takes me an hour to go back to sleep. This started happening after a car accident recently
This is totally an overlap of having both Complex PTSD as well as BPD. For my situation,, anyway. I know when I'm fully awake when my stomach turns (so to speak).
My neurosurgeon suggested I have a sleep study. Interesting that it is not just for apnea.
I vomit almost everyday when I wake up . Nightmares every night . I usually wake up and almost fall off the bed . I have to wake up hours before my workshift because I panic so bad I can't drive while under this morning curse . I've had it for years and contemplated suicide because it never stops . I'm used to it now but it's made me scared to sleep most of the time and has affected my life severely .
Can you do video on addictions and borderline personality disorder?
It is on my list. Thanks for the suggestion.
Thank you! 💖 and happy holidays☺
Yes. I'm a mom with a daughter (23yr) who has concurrent disorders. Sleep issues, night terrors, eating disorder, self harm, anxiety, depression, BPD, treated as inpatient for psychosis, mania, depression, anxiety etc. Her rage episodes have become more frequent since she has been put onto Suboxone. She also stopped her anti-psycotics and not taking meds at all or, on a regular basis. Sometimes she screams and cries out in her sleep.
@@mmmmmetoo1583 I'm on suboxone to and it can effect your sleep especially if your going through stress , it's best she gets off of it within a year long enough for her to get back in touch with reality and rebuild her life and stay away or make new friends , my family didn't help me they saw it as a weakness so I had no one to really be there for me pschologicoly and it took years so I'm glad for your daughter that you are there for her , it will help the process along so much to have someone to talk to about her problems , your a good mom for being so attentive and reaching out for help I will help if you want I have bpd as well
I just woke up now from a nightmare that is similar to so many nightmares I have all time
And I’m so tired of it
I always dream about dangerous animals trying follow me
It’s scary and disturbing
I always wake up with a headache and anxiety
I keep having half sleep paralysis we’re I know I’m sleeping but I can’t wake up if not it’s really hard to get out of it.

The last couple of years i have a lot of sleep paralysis. It happens only when i am laying on my back.
Its like being awake while dreaming. When i panick, i am mumbling and when my girlfriend comes to wake me, i hear her approaching and i know she just comes to help me but my mind thats still dreaming sometimes makes her footsteps a scary thing.
Its really strange. Otherwise i sleep good and am fit during the day.
I keep having these intense nightmares, sometimes loved ones die, sometimes I do. but it's hard to remember anything the day before,like events that I did. or any type of activity.
Uhmm I don't know to whom or to where I can ask for help. I've never been to a psychologist to check my mental health situation, but throughout my life, I'm always having a bad dream, and bad experiences in which it made me always nervous, scared, and not always focus in my tasks. I'm always confused and feel lifeless whenever I wake up. I also don't even know the purpose of myself for getting up of bed. I just woke up as I'm typing this comment, and I want to share what was my dream about. I dreamt about family gathering or reunion. Everyone seemed enjoying throughout the gathering, and I'm just sitting on the couch as I watch them enjoying themselves with other's company. As I look at them, my eyes got attention to this guy and I saw him looking at me, starring to me, he was like thinking deeply as he look at me. When I saw him, I went to every part of the house and I always see that he's always following me and I decided to go to my room and take a warm bath to relax my mind. When I completely removed my clothes, someone hugged me from the back and when I look, it was him. I got scared and I don't know what to do, afterwards I see something flickering behind of us and I forced myself to move away from the guy and I fell down on the floor and then there I saw a kid who's taking pictures of us. I suddenly ran into the kid and chase him. I cried and cried and begged for the kid to remove the photo because it was a misunderstanding. When the other people in the gathering see the picture of me, the feel disgusted and tell to many negatives things about me and infront of me so after that, I decided to lock myself on my room and never speak to anyone. I was so scared, and nervous by that time. My family even think that I'm already dead, but one time when I get up to my bed and went to the mirror in my room, I saw myself- too skinny, and looks like I'm already dead. I cannot hold my dream anymore so I immediately wake up. I wake up with so much tears falling down in my face. I'm also sweating and shaking as I woke up. I don't know what to do anymore. And this is what I'm always dreaming, like someone is always chasing me and I'm always get caught until my dream became to disturbing until I cannot hold it anymore. I always feel helpless. Please help me.
Probably have anxiety hun. Try to find some ways to empower yourself while your awake.
90% of dreams are man made by electricity. Here are the values:
The frequency in Hertz of the dreams are around 300Mhz for the high and around 7 hz for the low value.
The electric field values on my sleeping bed of each dream range from 40-70 v/m a set of 4 or 5 values before the peak which can be usually around 120 V/m and can go up to 400 V/m if the want to wake you up or shake your heart.
Especially if you have excess toxic conductive metals like silver or copper.
Please help me, I’m a 15 year old and I’ve had nightmares since I was little. It’s getting worse and worse. My dreams physically hurt and I remember them all. I’m starting to give up on life, it’s to much. It happens every night and it’s terrifying. Once I am asleep I can’t wake up until my dreams plays out. Once I’m asleep I have no connection with my body or anything that happens outside of the dream. I’m begging you please help me. It’s night time as I write this and I’m crying, I don’t want to sleep. My mom keeps saying that she is working on it but it doesn’t feel like it. I tell her over and over again that I don’t want to sleep but she forces me to. She says it’s not an option and I need to sleep. I know that deep down she is try her best to help me but I can’t take this much longer. Every time I wake up my mind is flooded with my nightmares, haunting my whole day till I have to go to sleep again and dream up a new nightmare to haunt me the next day. It’s to much, my impressions of people and memory’s of them is starting to get flooded with nightmare versions of them. It’s getting harder and harder to tell what’s real or nightmare.
I’ve had terrible nightmares regularly since I was 13 or 14. I believe i have bpd and am a “quiet” borderline. Therapist and psychiatrist don’t believe I have it, but they don’t see me at my worst. They say I don’t have it but only see once every couple of months. I’m lucky that I have some money and that has buffered me a lot from some of the repercussions of having bpd.
I don’t remember a time I’ve remembered a dream only nightmares
Hey is it normal to have dream every single day and remembering it vividly, it's just a random dream but recently it affected my emotions and I cannot devide whether it's a dream or not, and sometimes when I dream I couldn't wake up even if my alarm is ringing. I think I'm going crazy now
I'm here because i had these scary nightmares !!
I have might terrors as soon as i go to bed. I go to sleep immediately but wake up 20 minutes later from nightmares. I just heard of night terrors and think that's what I am having. Researching it now.
I have nightmare ever night. Literally every night, I wakeup heart racing and I'm so tired...I wish if these nightmare would just go away. I want to sleep normal.
This few years . i saw in my dream people getting trouble, becoming sick, becoming poor and disable. I think this is black magic. Or maybe one of disorder. How to clear this bad dream.
I saw people crying, several times. i dont know who are they. This is so scary. Im si worry.
I dream about getting behind at school and getting lost and I felt anxiety 😳
I Have terrible Nightmares about my Family and Bad Stuff happening to them. Now I get 4-8 nightmares each night and I remember them all. I can't sleep well because of this and this has been going on for the last year. I haven't Experienced Sleep Paralysis YET which I'm happy but still these nightmares are unbearable
I need some real help
I'm really sorry to hear that you're going through this. Nightmares can be incredibly distressing, especially when they're about loved ones. Have you considered talking to a professional? They might be able to help you find some relief.
I'm not sure if this is relevant but basically I get these night terrors but instead of it being like a demon or a zombie its mental pressure and anxiety but it's so stressful and insane that you can't think straight,anyways I wil explain how the night terror goes,so,everything's dark and your not really in a body your kind of like,watching a video in full screen and so your about to go into final form to save the planet or somthing and it's really important and if you mess up then your fucked,anyways as I say that I'm going to ascend or something like that,I completely mess up and a HUGE wave of fear,anxiety and stress and embarrassment hits me and I try to fix things but everything is getting worse and there are people around me that are scared and confused and I'm trying to make things right but it just doesn't work and I wake up sweaty,in tears and THEN my family tells me that I was walking around the house terrified and completely confused (I commonly get night terrors ) and so it has been happening to be for a long time,please tell me what's going on,I also have a hard time falling to sleep,you will probably never see this though...
Hi. What's your situation like nowadays? I have been suffering the same kinda thing for about 2 years now, no medications they've gave me or doctors I've spoken to have helped
I’m still not sure to this day what it feels like to have i guess what i’ve discovered is called an anxiety dream, but they way you explain it in pretty sure these are what i’ve been getting ever since elementary school, they only come once in a while but when they do it’s usually only when i have a dream about something that would definitely cause anxiety in real life. I would wake up and feel like everything is seriously fake, and everything is just so large and i always seem to freak out the most is when i start thinking about my hands and how big they are and just how everything is so weird especially myself. I’m obviously panicking the whole time i’m awake and trying to get back to sleep feels like such a CHORE. this time i went and talked to my mom but she didn’t understand and told me to just go back to sleep. it could be Derealization ( i’ve been feeling this more and more randomly these days ) at the same time of my panic and anxiety attack i’m not sure, but it would be nice to see if anyone else goes through this too.
I finally found once again that Dr Fox has the answers to my issues! Figures this issue is part of my personality disorder...

I am suffering from relegeous OCD and anxiety.i am also suffer from nightmare disorder enxity.it's too difficult to survive.
I’ve got dream anxiety and it’s mainly due to my stress levels-I find that when I have low dosage cannabis at night that it helps but I’ve been away from cannabis for a few months because I’m looking for a new job and afraid I need to do a urinalysis. But cannabis really helps my stress... I’m trying to get into meditation and staying away from caffeine. But covid has hit hard in my home-so much extra stress right now. Thanks for the info.
BRO SAME IVE GOT DREAM ANXIETY AND THE ONLY THING THAT STOPS IT IS CANNABIS. but when i insist on doing it to my girlfriend, (she hates it) shes always upset with me, but all it does is make me feel better. People just cant see that
I have intense dreams but I eat red meat or drink alcohol to dull them when I feel overwhelmed.
I try not to eat anything too greasy or spicy before bed.
I don’t take meds because it made me feel more paranoid and CBD oil saved me from my phobias and BPD. I try not to complain or blame and just accept and absorb with non judgement whatever comes to me.
Interesting...
●there seems to be a lot of similarities between the symptoms of BPD and PTSD. I'm a little confused to be honest. I've only been diagnosed with ptsd due to a few varying moderate-severe traumas I've had.those traumas directly cause the night terrors and insomnia I am told... but idk
● I've had night terrors since around 4years old that have lessened but not totally gone away , and I'm in my late 20s. My fiance tells me often how he hears me yelling and crying in my sleep and sees me seizing too. My dreams are usually about someone trying to hurt me and/or my children, someone stealing my kids, and someone stabbing shooting drowning choking me. I have chronic pain issues and central sleep apnea that cause me to wake up many times a night and they seap into my dream world.
● as a background, I've been diagnosed with PTSD, insomnia, severe central sleep apnea with hyper -somnolence , ASD, MDD, psychogenic seizures, general anxiety disorder, and panic disorder.
● I have a fear of sleep due to my night terrors, nightmares, and the sleep apnea where I literally completely stop breathing on average 50times an hour. (Yes my ahi # makes it a very severe case and can be fatal)
● my biggest fear , that is unfortunately rational, is that I will never wake up and I will die leaving my children and fiance behind so that terrifies me more and keeps me awake . I'm only sleeping 3-4hours at night. With my hyper somnolence during the day and breathing issues , I am constantly falling asleep while in the middle of tasks like cleaning, cooking, and watching tv. My eyes will roll uncontrollably and the extreme fatigue is almost painful. This severity is new for me I've only had it for about 2 years now.
Very helpful as I have bpd and suffer every night with sleep problems
I have nightmares like me falling off a building and seeing scary things and when I woke up I told myself it's just a dream and I breathed in

Read Jesus Prayer before bed, if you want to sleep in peace:
“Our Father in heaven:
May your holy name be honored;
may your Kingdom come;
may your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us today the food we need.+
Forgive us the wrongs we have done,
as we forgive the wrongs that others have done to us.
Do not bring us to hard testing,
but keep us safe from the Evil One.’

I have bad dreams almost everyday about what I fear
I don't have many times the nightmare that affect me physical. But this is the third one.and worry me. I need to diagnose this. Don't have a location. First and second timenwas pain chest and ready to make an hard attack. Now.. I dreamed I was suffocating by someone and I was paralyzed. I let the person to do this but my luck the dreams stoped. I was ready to not breath at all. I am so scared and I have headache.i think Its because I live alone and I am stressed and it's new for me this ...and I have depression (the most important fact)
I never dream but I only ever have nightmares about my PTSD but I sleep fine throughout the night and no one has ever been able to explain that to me

I seem to have a sleep issue that is odd. Because of nightmares but also because of obsessions with doing certain activities and finding time to be alone, I sometimes avoid or deny myself sleep. I also use lack of sleep as a self-harm outlet. I call it Sleep Anorexia. I don’t know how to combat this. Does this happen to anyone else?
Yesterday I was awake but had a nightmare...so I usually sleep past 4 am and on (it's morning outside whenever I sleep) my sleeping schedule is a big mess but yesterday I decided to sleep at 1 Am so it was toooooooo dark in my room I was laying on my wide bad with my cat I couldn't just sleep easily it takes me hours to sleep....because I overthink ;-; I can't stop thinking so I was closing my eyes laying down with my cat and then suddenly I had a nightmare where I'm laying on my bed but my cat is not there he disappeared I was confused about how he just Disapeared and then I turned around and saw a creepy boy with a messed up face IT WAS a floating face with a neck he looked a little like Toys Story's Woody but really creepy and scary I jumped up and my hand passed through him!

Please can you explain the impact of menopause if you are borderline. My menopause lasted 10 years, I am now 60 and still wake up drenched in sweat about 5am. I think I must be dreaming anxiety. You can understand these things.
The answer would be too long to put here but there is evidence of BPD mood and other fluctuations during one's cycle. I would suggest charting your mood, temperature, sleep quality, and other issues for a few months and see your trend. I wish you well.
Thank you very much for your advice.
