  • I want to wake up from my dream but I can't was created by brummiebabe2012
    I keep having these dreams at least a couple of times a week, but the other night I had it twice in the space of an hour, it really scary, I am asleep and I want to wake up but I can't and I can't move either!!! So then I start to panick, when I have calmed down a bit I finally proper wake up, but when I do my eyes hurt really badly and my hearts just beating at a crazy rate!!! I started having this dream in 2008 when I was 22, now i'm 26 and now i'm having them more regularly!!!! I am a happy person, im not stressed or anything!!! I go to bed nearly every night between 10 and 11 and wake up between 6 and 7!!! So im getting a full good night sleep!!!! The only thing that I think can be causing it is I have my radio on in the background, while im asleep. I have tried turning it right down at night to see if this is whats causing it!!!! Its making me scared to go to sleep and now its making me think I am going to die in my sleep!!! I hate it and I don't no what to do????

    It's a common sleep disorder. The above link will guide you to a solution.

    Good luck!
