I usually have batshit insane dreams but have also had lucid dreams a few times and sleep paralysis once. Try to clear you mind and only concentrate on your breathing.

[Terrahex]

I used to be able to lucid dream, which was awesome, when I was a kid and I'd alter the dream a little. after my lucid dreaming power went away and I kind of figured out I wanted to be an author, I always ended up tweaking my dreams when I woke up (becuase in my eyes, dreams are maluable when you can barely remember them)

nowadays I don't have many nightmares, but I do have a VERY vivid imagination, leading to a VERY vivid dream. so nightmares are like bombs. I feel for you in your problem but I sadly have no help to offer.

Every night I curl in a ball crying about the kittens. Then I have nightmares about what you do to kittens. Why would you do that to kittens???

[Miggy]

I don't really have nightmares anymore. I used to have a bunch when I was a kid, but I ended up such a computer nerd that I'd develop the instinct to simply close the game when I wasn't having any fun. I'd simply exit my nightmares and go back to sleep whenever they appeared.

I find this pretty cool myself, especially since I'm not a lucid dreamer at all.

I hardly ever have nightmares, and when I do it seems vague and sometimes hilarious when I wake up. For example, I once had a nightmare that caused me to freak out and jump out of my bed. The nightmare? All I can remember about it was that it somehow involved a Jeopardy-esque game show, and a guy on a horse was one of the contestants. What the hell is wrong with me?!

[Dakk]

The only "nightmare" I've had recently was one in which I was for some reason mad at everyone and basically started calling everyone names. I haven't had an actual nightmare in ages, not that I remember at least. Even dreams are scarce.

[Artifakt]

Holy crap, buildings come to life in my dreams all the time. I also had a dream last night where both me and my best friend were shot. Said best friend tells me that calming music has helped him out on these occasions, so that would be my recommendation.

My nightmares are always really lame, like my brain doesn't feel like putting in an effort.  Usually it doesn't even bother with making a scary scenario, it just gives me a fear sensation and I wake up feeling vaguely annoyed that I didn't at least get a proper dream out of it.

I suspect its because when I was younger I'd deal with nightmares by yelling at whatever was scary in my dream until the dream ended.  My subconscious probably got tired of this and stopped putting in the effort I suppose.

As an aside, I actually get the whole "Alive building" dreams once in a while as well.  I tend to enjoy them a bit though, as its a bit more interesting than most of my dreams.

Most of what I get are the you actually feel it nightmares involving various things depending on the day. Recently, I've had burning to death from radiation (skin went all pizza looking so I could assume that's close enough), being mutilated to death by various blades, drowning, and plunging onto a giant upright spike through the back.
EDIT: Oh, and dreams of severe necrosis. I remember seeing right through my leg in a dream, in which the hollow, hole dotted husk collapsed right after.

A good way to realize you are dreaming, IRL wear a watch, and check it often, and every time you do check it then look away then check it again. In your dreams logic is kinda messed up so the watch will have two completely different times each time you check it (without fail). This will give you a clear indication that you are dreaming.

[tHe_silent_H]

I have quite the opposite problem, I NEVER have nightmare(or dreams for that matter) no matter how hard I've tried, I only have vague memories of them now :/

[The Merchant Of Menace]

You should be glad =P

I have frequent nightmares but they usually do not effect me consciously and I sometimes forget them almost immediately after I wake up. A dream/nightmare that I had recently that stands out in my memory goes something like this:


I was walking home from the grocery store. My friend from across the street walks to me from his house and begins pestering me about money. I tell him as politely as I can; screw you, I hate you, go away etc. Just then, a large black SUV drives into the sidewalk and runs over my friend in pretty hilariously exaggerated amounts of gore. A bunch of black-suited people come out and next thing I know I feel a very heavy, stinging impact on my chest that knocks me off my feet (I assume this is what I imagine a gunshot feels like?). At this point I'm on the ground and there's blood pouring out of my chest, and then I wake up to find my cat on me. Very bizarre.

Strange. I woke to someone jingling keys in my dream, cold sweat and all. How would key jingling scare me awake from inside my dream? It was the same kind of waking up you'd get when you get killed in a dream and get shocked awake.

They don't really have to make sense. Just recently I dreamed that in the wild I hunted and consumed my friend's poodle.
