I have horrible nightmares of dying for the past 5 years...

it use to start with bombs or plane crashes to a astroid hitting the earth..

well past couple years it has been nothing but nightmares of a astroid hitting the earth and I see it coming and when it hits i turn away and everything turns pitch black and i feel my body feel like i'm being floated or pushed away by a blast then i wake up in panic..

i have gotten use to these dreams and have delt with them fine the past year by knowing when i wake up i had a nightmare

now i'm starting to wake up with panic once again...

really dont know what to do or who to ask for opinions on how to stop these...

the craziest dream i ever had i was in looking outside and saw a astroid coming SUPER fast(they happen like this i can see it for only 1 second before it explodes its so vivid and looks real) and i wake up to run outside to make sure everything was fine and i was ok, then the SAME exact thing happens again when i went to go look it happened the same way. woke up then ran outside again with the biggest panic i ever had in my life...i had a dream inside of my dream and my brain was really messing with me...it was really creepy for me.

my first year when i was having these dreams when i died everything turned pitch black, and i would be there for a long amount of time asking god to forgive me for all of my sins(i thought i was dead foreal) and then i would wake up being creeped out...

i stopped asking for my sins after about a year when i have gotten use to having these dreams...they happen about 4-5 times a week if not everynight for some weeks at a time. they use to not be that bad. use to not happen that much the first year maybe 5 times a month..

i use to get amazed and was blown out of my mind i was having these dreams and dont know if thats why they kept coming and now i hate them i can't make them stop

any suggestions or opinions on this?

thanks

edit: please no flaming or negative remarks on this topic pleaseeee

Try yoga

Its because in the last days, even Jesus said, "The stars shall fall from the heavens." (In the greek, by star in that use, they were referring to "Meteors")

We are living in those times now, have you ever thought that perhaps the LORD is giving you prophetic dreams as He did with the people of old.

Pray and ask for a confirmation from the LORD of Hosts, The Living God.

Obviously, you fear death and its causing you anxiety from it. Have you lost anyone in the past? Did you see something unusual thats started this event of dreams?

Our mind is the weirdest part of our bodies lmao. It does things we cant explain.

There are several things you can do see if they work. Its sounds strange but I read somewhere they do cause trouble sleeping and sugguestion of how to help.

Dont eat heavy before bedtime. Like for instance, dont eat something massive like a steak or junk food lol.

Dont do heavy exercise before bed. Now, for some people it relaxes them, so if your one of theses people who does workout to calm down then it suggested one hour before bedtime.

I know this is going to be hard rofl but no video games or long stretched out movies with violence in them rofl...no Tv or anything for three to four hours before bedtime. Your mind goes into

this process of images from the games or Tv that may causes you to dream violently like that.

Soft classical music while sleeping will help as well. I remember reading about that too.

There are several things to do. You just have to find them. Other than that.. If it continues then I would suggust you talk to a physician.

Their are people who are going thru what your going thru tho. Sadly, some of them dont resolve this problem and it cause serious healthy problems so...

Becareful and Good luck to you.

now i am scared too

nonsense

get into extreme sports. skydiving?

i have a couple suggestions. first try to make facing fears a habit. for example, if your afraid of the dark go jogging at night (if its a reletively safe area)or if your afraid of heights hang out on you roof til the feeling of vertigo goes away etc.. facing your other fears might make it easier to face the fear of dying and can change your outlook on life. if you worry or fear a lot life can seem like a chore, but if you free your self from negativity you can look at life as more of an adventure and maybe the dreams will stop or lose some of its power.

2nd i think dreams work the way pain does.. you feel pain not as a random punishment but as a way for your body to communicate to you that you need to heal or stop doing something. So in dreams i think your subconsious tries to make you experience things to give you the oppurtunity to learn or overcome fears or conceptions that negatively affect you. Meditation might help you clear your mind and focus. Just sit and close your eyes and try to disengage your awareness from your mental thoughts. watch your thoughts pass by without them effecting your emotions. take long deep breathes. once you can still your mind you can focus on your fear(s) without panicing and becoming overwhelmed. you can ask questions like "why fear death or anything that is inevitable?" "who is really dying.. me or just my conception of me?".

imo, go to sleep with good thoughts bro, i think of what i did the day before, what imma do tommorrow, think of shit that makes you happy when trying to fall asleep, also try to think about what it would mean for a asteroid to actually hit the earth first of all, we're all gonna die, not just you your not going through it alone, and secondly the chances of this happening arent insane, but it happeneing in your life is extremely low, AND if there were one coming we would find out before it actually gets near.

going to sleep without worrying is key
