The experiences that a person experiences in dreams can significantly exceed any daytime emotions in their intensity. Especially when it comes to fear. Is it normal to experience intense fear in a dream? What are such dreams associated with and why do they occur?
Why is it normal to feel fear in your sleep?
Although dreams are often given some mystical meaning, they are often just a reworking life experience and daytime impressions. Therefore, every person can sometimes experience fear in a dream. There are several potential reasons for this:
- Horror movie watched before bed. Nightmares from the film easily “wander” into thoughts, transforming into terrible dreams. Same with books or computer games.
- Psychological trauma. It can be triggered by anything: an accident, the death of a loved one, an attack... The main thing is that this event instills anxiety and fear in a person, and also provokes attacks of fear at night.
- Suppression of emotions. While awake, many people block any hints of irritability, fear, aggression, etc. As a result, dreams are filled with these experiences and can be accompanied by a feeling of horror.
- Real fear of something. If a person is facing something truly frightening for him (an operation, an air flight, an exam, an interview), then during a night's rest the fear can manifest itself in the form of a corresponding dream. In some cases, fear is provoked by a phobia of darkness - nyctophobia: with it, it is enough to turn off the light to find yourself in a world of horror.
It is necessary to distinguish nightmares from direct fear in a dream. In the first case, the sleeper sees an ordinary dream, it’s just that its plot is more reminiscent of a horror movie and causes quite understandable feelings of anxiety, fear, and apprehension. In the second situation the person may not even remember the reason for the fear, but just wake up scared. Characteristic symptoms are a fast beating heart, sweaty hands, wide open eyes, feeling of lack of air. Such fear in a dream is a sign panic attack, which in turn often indicates an existing disorder and requires contacting a psychotherapist.
It is the repetition that should be alarming. If fear in a dream occurs very rarely and does not leave a heavy aftertaste, you don’t have to worry. But regular panic attacks clearly indicate psychological problem which must be resolved (otherwise it will provoke other pathological disorders).
What the dream book says: fear in a dream
Dream books interpret the feeling of fear in a dream differently. The most common options:
- “Small Velesov’s Dream Book”: fear in a dream means trouble at home.
- “Women’s Dream Book”: to disappointments and losses. If in a dream there is fear of a certain undertaking, then the business will fail. It happens that someone else is afraid in a dream: this means that this person will become the cause of worries.
- “Autumn Dream Book”: to health problems (relevant only for dreams in the fall).
- “Summer Dream Book”: to the correct and prosperous development of events (if the dream was seen in the summer).
- “Spring Dream Book”: in a dream, fear is a warning from a guardian angel about the need to stop, think, and look around (provided that the dream occurred in the spring).
- “Islamic Dream Book”: to being safe, to repentance, to a brave accomplishment in the near future.
- “Ukrainian dream book”: to disagreement with family or to imminent changes.
- "Miller's Dream Book": to loss and sadness. The interpretation is similar to the “Women’s Dream Book”.
- “Dream Book of Black Magic”: to negative witchcraft effects, to damage, to visits by demons.
- “Modern snapshot”: towards a bold act.
- “Hasse’s Dream Book”: to a joyful surprise or lack of something.
- “Esoteric dream book”: the need for a change of scenery.
- “Old English Dream Book”: to the trials that the sleeper will endure with honor.
- “Dream Book of the Apostle Simon the Canaanite”: to a pleasant and unexpected incident.
- “The Wanderer’s Dream Book”: to problems with the cardiovascular system or to doubts and disappointments.
- “Ancient Persian Dream Book of Taflisi”: to loss life guidelines(or even just wandering through an unfamiliar area), to possible betrayal on the part of an acquaintance, if it is he who inspires fear.
- “Tsvetkov’s Dream Book”: to heart disease or to getting rid of something unpleasant.
- “Dream Book of Health”: to overload the nervous system.
To understand why fear occurs in a dream, it is recommended to have your own dream journal. This will take some time, but in the future it will allow you to make accurate predictions. You just need to record all your dreams and then compare them with the events that happened. You also need to take into account the sensations after waking up: they are usually the correct interpretation (if a person feels good, then fear in a dream means something pleasant, and vice versa).
It is unlikely that at least one dream book will be distinguished by its originality in answering this question: the fear of death is interpreted as an ordinary fear in a dream. The approach of psychologists is much more interesting.
It is believed that the fear of death is basic, inherent in any person. And dreams with his “participation” are nothing more than the thoughts of the sleeper on this topic. Most likely, in reality he is afraid of physical death, and therefore transfers his fears to the world of dreams. There is only one way out: to come to terms with the fact that all people sooner or later leave material world. If you cannot get rid of a phobia on your own, it is recommended to seek help from a psychotherapist and work through the problem with him.
Each dream is individual, since it “belongs” to only one to a specific person. And it’s worth trying to analyze the dreamed fear on your own: a dream book, even the oldest and “tested” one, will not be able to fully explain why the sleeper saw this or that. And sometimes dreams don’t mean anything at all. You only need to worry if they really interfere with normal life.
