LOL, can't help you dude but those nightmares are bloody funny.
Aww poor you :smile: Um I used to have pretty bad nightmares but then started trying to control them? Like lucid dreaming, it eventually worked and now I don't have nightmares, maybe you could try really hard to think of something else when they happen?

It could be that you are stressed even though yo may not feel stressed it may be due to pressure of courseworks, education, exams, uni ect., try relaxing have a bath before going to bed, and if you can try confronting the fear in your dream, if you manage this then your nigtmares will not stop. {worked for me}

if i is getting really bad then try getting some pychiological help, it is nothing to be ashamed of, everyone has nightmare every now and then but just remember they can't harm you and don't fear anything.


By the way do you feel threathened that the seleton will harm or even kill you?

go to http://dreamsnightmares.com/deathindreams.html for more info.
if you can control the dreams at all try to make them funnier...like when you open the door to the skeleton imagine its wearing something silly like santa socks and pinkpanther boxers, or when its walking towards you it trips over your dirty washing and disintegrates!!

Does anybody know of any methods to prevent nightmares. Is there anything I can eat which will make them less likey? I keep having two horrendous nightmares and they go like this:

1) I am sitting on the sofa in my house at night and its raining outside. Then the doorbell goes and I go to answer it. My parents are in the living room and there are not many lights on.
When I answer the door there is a skeleton standing there-and then I wake up.

2) Sometimes I dream that I am in my bed (which makes it even more frightening when I wake up) and I can here breathing on the other side of my room. I lay there for a while and then the same skeleton walks towards me from the shadows....towards my bed. I always wake up before he gets to me. But as you can imagine, it's scary!

I keep having these two nightmares over and over again. I can't seem to go a night without having one of the two and sometimes both. I've even got to the point where i'm frightened to go to sleep.

What the hell can I do!

Any help will be much appreciated. Thank you.


nightmares are our way to subconsciously deal with our trouble, it's our way of facing our fears or living our happy moments again. It has been proven even nightmares make you a more calm and balanced person, so i advice you to just adapt to them, maybe think what inner fear might be causing it.
If it gets freak-show bad, there are meds to suppress dreams, but its not exactly healthy stuff

try not thinking about it before you go to sleep. and try engaging your mind in something else, and keep thinking about it till u sleep. coz i realised that sometimes i dream of the last thing i was thinking about in bed...

hope u feel better

Recurring nightmares are often a signal that something is troubling you, or there is a problem which your subconscious has not managed to process. You can sometimes help this processing by identifying the symbols in your dream - look up skeleton on a dream interpreter (although these can be very unreliable), and see if you can find some link between what it says and some aspect of your life.

This doesn't always help - there's nothing wrong with seeking therapy for it, and it might be more beneficial than just clearing a dream.

I used to have recurring nightmares about driving and having no brakes, at a time in my life when I felt I had no control over events, and was getting frustrated and frightened about where the future was going. When things became more certain and predictable, the dreams stopped.

Try not to worry - while you're dreaming, are you aware that you've had it before and it's happening again? Try to take control and turn it into a lucid dream, and try to confront it in your dream. I've also had dreams where I've been killed in several ways, and had no adverse effects in real life, so don't worry!

Hope that helps.

I'd agree with that :smile: If you stay focused on one thing and keep thinking of it you might not have the nightmares?
