Dream shifting...Please HELP

I have been having these terrible dreams for the past month or so. My dreams start out nice and calm and tranqual and then wham! I feel as though I am sucked from my tranquility into a dream that is not my own and is filled with such hatetred and evil that I have no control over the dream. I can not wake up or bring change to the dream. It's as if it is not my dream but some one elses. I have tried to send peace and calmness into the evil but it rebukes it. When I finally can pull myself from the nightmare I wake up feeling so utterly drained that I am sick with it. I feel as though the negativity has rooted itself right into my bones and sucked out all my postitive energy. I find myself meditating before I go to bed and after I wake up to keep myself grounded and give me extra stability and strenth. But I don't understand what is happening nor why I feel like this nightmare is not mine but some one else's.

Does anyone have experiences with this sort of thing or even any ideas on how to confront it or any ideas at all!!!!
Please help because I honestly do not know what to do here.

A cleansing perhaps, i have a book at home which might have something that might help if it is that, will look it up. (at work at the mo); ▶ Reply to This

In my experience it's possible to realise that you are dreaming, identify the intruding presence and blast the thing, all in the course of your dream.; ▶ Reply to This

We all have two sides, the most dominant of which is in controll when we're awake. The other side of ourselves may manifest through the subconscious. Perhaps some time spent getting to know that "other" self may help.

With any dream issues, i find that affermations during the waking hours to be of great benifit. For me, it seems most powerful if i look into my own eyes in a mirror when doing so. Tell yourself things like "when i dream tonight, i will be able to controll my dreams" or "i will not have dreams of evil tonight". Use the affermations many times through out the day, a dozen or more.

Hope this helps.; ▶ Reply to This

The thing is is that the dream itself feels like it is a negative energy that I think I am picking up from some one around me. I start my dream in a quiet clam environment and then I stand helpless when I watch my dream shift into this dark hazy realm of anger and confusion. The people that are in this dark dream are fuzzy and unreadable and I can't contact them in any way. It's as if I were just pulled there to watch the outcome of the dream and not help with any of the feelings or any part of the dream itself. Like it's showing me some thing as a fore warning. I can't change or shift them dream back to my calm dream. I always wake up when this dark brooding figure passes through me. I can't make out any faces at all and I feel as though I am collecting all the negative energy as this shadow passes through me. After I wake up I have a have a hard time focusing and I feel so drained and covered in negative energy. I just don't know how to stop this dream shifting or protect myself against the negative energy. This is totally new area for me.; ▶ Reply to This

I would keep clear quartz near the bed if I were you. I keep a clear quartz, a smokey one and a cloudy one by or on
my bed when I sleep. I have many types of dreams both positive or negative. Sometimes there are dreams where I am a witness but I do not interact in the sequence.

I hope this helps you.; ▶ Reply to This

Thank you for your ideas. The colors are dark grey and black smokey figures. There are sounds but they are low and muffled and some times no sounds at all. I can see shadowy figues but no detail to the figures at all.; ▶ Reply to This

I really dont know what is happening and that is what has me so worried about it all. I was talking to one of my closest friends about these dreams and he said that he himself has been having some very chaotic and awful dark dreams himself lately. He's going through a very rough patch with his girlfriend who he had just broken up with and his dad who has health problems. We talked for quite a long time about or issues and what may be a reflection of fears and stress at certain situations we are facing together.; ▶ Reply to This

At times we are given visions of a future we can change if we decide we 'will' it to be. At times we are given warnings of what is to come. I once dreamed I was decapitated while mountain climbing, this dream was a warning that great change was taking shape and that I would feel death or would wish for death. It was very prophetic. Our dreams can also reflect the vibrations and influences of others going on around us in waking and dreaming state. I had a friend who dreamed of dying violently every night, it was not 'normal' for her not to have the dream. I placed a ring of blue fire about her and kept vigil until she was able to do so herself, but it stopped her dreams from occuring. She has not had one since. We deduced that it was most likely a psychic attack, but a random one. Your dream could be any one of these, but the important thing to remember next time you have your dream, look to the edges, that glimpse out of the corner of your eye is the truth behind the dream. The action or 'stage' if you will is merely a decoy to keep you from seeing the truth. Look beyond that which fits tight.

Hope this helps you find peace in your dream state.

Blessed Be~

Thank you so much for your words of wisdom. I do believe also that we are given visions of the future in our dreams whether they are warnings or blessings. I think most of this dream is a warning for my friend because we have been talking about a whole series of fears and stress points in the last couple of days. I have been trying to help him as he has been trying to help me as well. This has stopped the dreams and now I am back to my normal calming state of sleep.
Blessed Be.; ▶ Reply to This
