The Devils Curse

Yes, you read it right. This dream was indeed a curse upon our poor friend who had experienced it for quite some time. It actually wasn't a dream, but recurring visions that she encountered. It was the same every time and although she knew very well that she was dreaming it was totally out of her control and she could never get out of it. There were times when she woke up screaming and sweating but only after it was over. Her parents had to wake her up by shaking her vigorously when it got out of control. For her it was one of the most grim period of her life. She went through it for more than a month and by the end of it things had become so serious that visits to the psychiatrist were regular.

It always started with her being tossed up in the air and then falling down on her bed itself. This marked the beginning of her terrific night. Just after the drop she saw dark hooded figures which appeared as if they were approaching her with the motive to kill. Some times they strangled her and the other times they tried to stab her or torment her in some or the other way. She always tried to fight back and run but some invisible force pinned her down and made her immobile. The dream felt very real and live as the subconscious was very strong and controlling. The repeated hallucinations were so distressing that even when she shut her eyes for the briefest moment, it came back to haunt her. She was unable to sleep alone for quite some time even after the visions had stopped. It had scarred her for eternity. 

Recurring dreams/visions appear during the tough and emotional time of our life. It may or may not have any significance. What they mean is still up for debate. One can interpret their dream in one way and the other in some other way, both could be right or wrong -- no one can know for sure.
However, the dreams are about the dreamer, as are any symbols in them.

but I have conquered my nightmares because of my dreams."
