Being bullied in my dreams

I just don’t know what this is but after my relationship I have been getting dreams in which I am mentally tortured by the three people who were in my life for past 1.5 years that is my ex, his little sister and his gay best friend.

I was sleeping well for couple of months but suddenly I have been getting dreams where I am on the streets alone at night and all three of them are pointing fingers at me and saying things to me where I feel so scared and lonely & that’s how I felt in reality in the entire relationship as well.

Last night just because I don’t go back there again I slept right next to my mom, and again it happened I tried pulling myself out from there but I just couldn’t move my body, even though my eyes were opened and I was trying to reach my mom to wake me up but I couldn’t even move my limbs, I felt so heavy in my chest & I started crying because I wanted to be out of it as soon as possible. I was trying to reach my mom but I just couldn’t as in real time she and my couple of friends got me out from the relationship I was in. I felt so alone, I felt there’s no one from my side who can save me from this and these people will just eat me up with their words, I was brutally abused by them, they pushed me, they made me sit down, they called me a loser and a loner and how I will die early as I prefer to stay alone in my zone, they told me no one will ever save you, you aren’t worth saving, I was being laughed at and a lot of things.

It’s hard to even explain because I wanted to be out of it and this evil force that is the three of them were just pulling me in bringing my confidence down. I haven’t been this scared in my entire life and I never went through something like this in my dreams. This is the first time happening with me, I don’t know what it is. But I really don’t want this to happen with me again, is there a way to stop all this? Because I really feel tortured to death where I start choking and my mom has to like pull me or wake me up from it while my eyes are open and I am just crying.

That sounds like sleep paralysis. I’m not sure if you’re Christian, but look at remedies such as praying before bed. I have heard that helps

Try to look at remedies to prevent sleep paralysis. Have you tried mindfulness exercises? I don’t have much religious advice because I’m Christian so I would usually pray a prayer like Psalm 91
