Recurring Nightmares

Okay, I have this incredibly insane fear of faceless people. Every time I got to use the bathroom I always check the cupboards, vent and lock my door in case the faceless man is watching me. I think its related to a nightmare I had about three years ago and...Yea...

Sometimes I am afraid to go to sleep because I think I will die before I wake up. I don't know why I begin to think about it, but once I do it keeps me up for hours. Obviously it hasn't happened yet, as I am typing this, but it doesn't stop me from being paranoid.

I have had this nightmare 3 or 4 times before, that is very difficult to describe. It seems like I've only been asleep for about half an hour or less. I'll hear a noise, the noise has been always different in each of the dreams, like the sound of a train or most recently just the sound of a creaking door. A few seconds after the sound, something is holding me down so i cannot move or even talk. I've never seen exactly what is holding me down because im too afraid to open my eyes. It seems as if it lasts forever before it is over. I wish i knew what it was that was doing this to me in my nightmares.

I have a phobia of hypnogogic paralysis and mainly falling asleep. I've experienced it a few times, and all have left me in a panic, but one experience had scarred me: Lying in bed, I thought I had recieved a text, read it, then suddenly realize my phone wasn't with me. This happened a few times. Then, someone was running around me. Behind me, then over me across the bed, through the wall, and back again. Then he landed on my chest. He were not smothering me, but it hurt. I could somewhat make out a face, but I will never know who it belonged to. Then, an image appeared in my left vision. It was a polaroid photo of some sort, coming down towards me, and I was able to hear my heart beating. A ringing came into my ears, and perisisted for a long time. Afraid, I attempted to get out of bed, but I could not move my legs, and lied helpless until it was done: the ringing in my ears, and the body on my chest, the face staring down at me. After it was over, I fell asleep right away, but woke up crying afraid of what had happened.
Thinking about it makes me very scared, and I fear that it will happen again, even though I know those chances are slim. As much as I am afraid of it, there are times when I wish it would happen again just so I can maybe make out the face...

A have a nightmare that comes in strange patterns. Sometimes it won't come for weeks then it suddenly comes back and it can repeat every night for about a week sometimes more.

In the nightmare I'm walking through the streets of Glasgow (in Scotland, very near to where I live). I'm on my way home from a night club so I'm always dressed up in a nice dress looking gorgeous.
I come across a dark alley with a only a flickering broken street lamp to provide light.
I lean against the wall about a metre into the alley waiting for my friends to catch up.
A large musclular-looking man hiden mostly by shadows stands at the entrance of the alley looking at me with a sinister look in his eyes. As he slowly strolls into the alley towards me, I casually lean off the wall and head down into the alley feeling very uneasy. He begins to speed up and so do I. He ends up chasing me down the alley with a knife glinting in his hand. I trip over a pipe on the ground and fall skidding on the ground. I try my hardest to get up and keep running. I whip my head around to see where he is and he's right above me knife raised ready to strike.

The fright I get when I see him ready to kill me always wakes me up with a jolt. I am in a cold sweat, panicking, crying shaking, forcing the breath in and out of my lungs. I am a mess and I don't get to sleep after that.

I'm only 15 and this dream has been coming for over 2 years now. When the dream come I am a mess until I force myself to belive it won't come again and it will never come true.

I was in Glasgow a while ago at night and I walked past the alley in my dreams and panic took over me. I had to watch it until I was sure there was no-one there to jump out on me. The alley is a real place but I had never seen it before my dream then I went outsearching for it in the place I had dreamt it was and as I thought it was there looking the exact same.

I have an irrational fear of bathrooms. Not just public bathrooms, ALL bathrooms ~ unless I have "gotten to know" the room over time. If I have never been in the bathroom before, my heart will beat fast -my hands gets sweaty - my breathing is labored and I'm literally scared to death. As a child, my father was military and we moved a great deal. When we came to a new home - I would avoid the bathroom like the plague, until I absolutely HAD to go in. And then I just had to face my fear. My heart would begin beating hard again and I would lose my breath. I'm going to be 50 years old in January and I'm tired of being afraid. Walmart bathrooms are the worst because of the filth and the weird sinks they have now. I have 2 different nightmares. One is of a horribly filthy public bathroom - 2 stalls - no sinks - just water dripping from pipes into large drums. The other is the polar opposite. I'm in a huge public bathroom where everything is silver-chrome. I walk into one stall and there is a large toilet and large tub - all silver. I'm terrified. I try to run but the bathroom is so large - all I find are more aisles of stalls - some with showers - some with tubs. I can't escape.

i always have this dream, but its not like normal dreams where you're doing something, or whatever. i just see a stormy sky, and lightning, for ages. and then suddenly, theres this horrible scream, like someones in real pain, or being killed or something. and then i wake up feeling panic, as though i need to do something right away, but i don't know what. and then i feel guilty, but i don't know why. i'm kind of worried that i might be an insane person to be honest
