Did any of you guys have night terrors? (page 2)

White Dove

I usually had nightmares after studying about demons in the family study. I was scared of them attacking me at night so was afraid of the dark.

Since my Dad wasn't a witness, the only time we had "family study" was when they got on parents' asses about studying with their kids. Mom couldn't keep my attention, I would bring up anything to get her off subject. We had some good conversations. She would give up after a few weeks.

Never had nightmares all that much about armageddon until I got df'd, then not very often. But then I NEVER remember my dreams.

yes I had night terrors or nightmares whatever they are called. my mother was very mean she was very much involved with demonizm, as a kid she use to tell me at bed time that the black gloves would visit me in the night and take off my blankets. It terrified me. I would wake up abruptly go to the bathroom turn on the light and then sit on the toilet literally my teeth and body where trembling. My teeth literally were clanging together I had such fear I can barely describe it. My stomach was doing strange leaps inside. it was terrible that a mother would make a kid terrified. I dreamt the same nightmare all the time for many long years even into as an adult until the day my doctor suggested to me to stay with the nightmare and see who the phantom is in my dream. I was truly scared to do this I was afraid of who it may be behind the dark cloak in that dark enclosed cave so deep there was no escape. So I said to my doctor I would try but couldn't promise. I was in my late fourties and one night it I started out having the dream and some how some I convinced my mind not to wake up while I was dreaming it was Iike I could here the doctor saying to me Terry stay with the dream and then I got to the part where I always awoke and I could feel an internal struggle inside me happening yet I didn't wake up I finished the dream and the person behind the cloak was my father. After I realized it was my father I never again had that nightmare. But I still have nightmares because the other night I awoke in the middle of the night screaming no no and tears in my eyes. I can't remember what it was even about. Just as well. Funny thing my mother terrified me. My dad I didn't respect because he was a mean cruel abusive alcoholic. My mom abused perscription drugs uppers and downers and she was a beatnik ;she was clairvoyant, ESP, and believed in occultism. My childhood was something else. I thank God I had one constant in my life and that was my wonderful grandma. She was a saint. She taught me to be the person I am today. That is why most people can't believe that I belong to the family I belong to. I am so different from all three of my other sisters. I know I am and they know it too. Darn it there I go again going on and on like a steam engine. Orangefatcat.

Gawd woman my stomach is in knots thinking about this. I was a sleepwalker, so was my daughter. My children never knew a day of JWism.

My son would wake up screaming bloody murder (I can hardly keep from crying just typing this) I would go to him and pick him up, and try all the mom stuff, coo, soft talking, hugging, everything is ok etc. He was inconsolable. He was utterly terrified, nothing helped. He would even push from me. After a few of these horrible incidents, we figured out it was called Night Terrors. He is also the child who had Scarlet fever, and horrible hallucinations. That was almost as bad.

He's now 21, and coming for Thanksgiving. I think I need to spank him, huh?

Naw, beks, just wake him up at midnight (or an hour after he gets in a good sleep) and tell him it's payback.

Yes you need to give a love smack. Wow it must have been terrible. My middle sister use the have convulsions from grande mal seizures, when she was born for some crazy reason the doctor wasn't ready and the baby was and they pushed her back in and then she wouldn 't come out and they used forceps and apparently injured her neck and it caused the epilepsy. She would see monsters and creatures under her bed or on her. It was like that from the moment of birth. Any way as she got a little older and we by this time JWs my mother was having trouble with her spine and my dad too. So they heard of a brother in Toronto who a chiropractor, named Bill Ariko I think that is the spelling of his last name. Anyway my mom tells him about my sister and he asks if he could see her and maybe relieve some tension in here neck. Well they said, sure why not, it can't do any harm. so they brought her to see Bill and after his feeling her spine and neck he knew she had been born with forceps he said I can tell and I can help her some what she really has a bad neck so with weeks of manipulations she started having less and less seizures until the day came and she had no more seizures at all.

Somedays she was terrifed to close her eyes for fear of seeing these monsters and creatures and she'd scream and scream. It was pretty bad. It goes to show you how dangerous it is for doctors to use forceps.
