Ok... I don't know anything about this lucid dreaming... But that doesn't matter at the moment.I need some help with a friend of mine about a dream, er, nightmare she had. But all the other websites cost money or something like that. Actually this girl is my girlfriend...that's one reason why im so worried about it. I need help ASAP. Ok, here goes....
I am going to tell you EXACTLY what she wrote to me... She wouldn't tell me at first, but i talked her into telling me... here it is: "I had a nightmare, it was horrible. Things were happening, things I won't say alloud. Everyone had turned their backs on me, laughing at me, calling me names. I had killed my family...and... Amy. My family had frustrated me because they didn't care, and Amy frustrated me becase...she stole you from me.. All of my friends, everyone, even people that didn't know me, were all laughing and hitting me. And then I saw a light and everyone stopped laughing, all was quiet. I headed towards the light and I could hear singing. I saw people I knew, dead people, waving and singing too. I almost reached the light, but then I woke up, gasping for breath..."
We have been dating for about a week... and I have found out that her family, her step dad and real mom, hasn't given her any attention all of her life, and they hardly say two words to her, unless they are yelling at her. I think that this is a factor for the nightmare she had. She had this nightmare two days after we started dating, and hasn't slept since. She is scared to go to sleep. She thinks that she will really get hurt or die. I have tried telling her that dreams, or nightmares, can hurt you physically, most of the time not even mentally or emotionally. But she still can't sleep. I have done alot of research on dreams and nightmares since she told me about it, and im stumped. I dont know what else to say to her. I need help. I am a religous guy and she goes to church. I said that maybe God is tying to tell her something. I asked how long it had been since she last prayed. She didn't answer. Then I had to go to church and when I got home I talked to her again and she said that she prayed while I was gone. She said that she felt better, but still is afraid to go to sleep.
