I Lived Almost 10 Years of My Childhood in Nightmares
I used to sit idle for hours at night just to avoid having those night terrors
We all have some amazing childhood memories that we love to often think about and share with others. Of course, I do have many good memories I’ll cherish forever. But I also have some really worst ones as nightmares (not the real ones but some bad dreams) that I do not even want to imagine.
The stories we experience in dreams are usually funny but awkward, and sometimes they can be a nightmare too. But to start living with those nightmares day after day becomes very disturbing.
I don’t remember exactly, but I guess I was just 6 or 7 years old when I first experienced these haunting dreams. After that, it became a routine for me. I could not do anything instead to live with those nightmares year after year.
What is a Nightmare?
A nightmare is a frightening dream with negative feelings that feels vivid & real and can be upsetting & bizarre. It leaves you unable to control the situation during sleep and awakes you from a deep sleep, setting your heart pounding from fear. They often occur during the REM “rapid eye movement” stage of sleep.
