What do dreams within dreams mean? Dark figure nightmares feels real. Need help!?
Question by : What do dreams within dreams mean? Dark figure nightmares feels real. Need help!?
So I’ve recently been having I guess what I would consider a recurring dream. Its SLIGHTLY different every time but it has the same feel and is very similar. I will just describe the most recent one since they are all so close to the same.
I wake up in my bed next to my boyfriend and everything in the room looks exactly as it should so I just think that I woke up for no reason and lay my head down and try to go back to sleep. As soon as I close my eyes I get an overwhelming feeling that someone is watching me. I open my eyes and see a dark figure standing at the edge of my bed and it startles me so much that I jolt awake and realize that it was all a dream. I then wake my boyfriend up and tell him that I had a nightmare. He tells me its ok and comforts me. I quickly become comfortable and press my face into the pillow to go back to sleep. My boyfriend begins lightly snoring so I know he is asleep. I immediately get the feeling I am being watched again. I open my eyes, terrified because I just had that nightmare, and theres that scary black figure standing right next to my bed again. AGAIN this startles me awake and I am confused because I thought I was really awake that time and had no idea I was dreaming. This cycle continues on and on, sometimes 6-7 times before I ACTUALLY wake up. Needless to say it puts me on edge until light starts showing through the windows because I’m worried that I’m still dreaming. Can anyone make anything of this? I’m starting to feel like I’m going crazy!
Also, not sure if it’s relevant but I never had these kind of dreams until I moved into my new house. Everytime I have this dream I always dream of waking up in this bedroom with everything as it would be in real life. I have had this dream AT LEAST 2 times a week since we moved in.
Thoughts?
I would be extremely grateful to anyone who can give me any ideas on this. It’s really starting to get to me and I feel like I’m losing sleep and my mind haha. Thanks to anyone who reads this!
Also, It seems like the dark figure is getting closer over time. It originally started out at the foot of my bed. It is now on the side of my bed. Also in one dream only I sat up in bed after I jolted awake and he appeared behind me and strangled me. I died in that dream and felt myself leave my body. Lol I’m losing my mind….

Just your brain trying to get you rid of an irrational paranoia of most likely the new surroundings by repeating it over and over, eventually it’ll go away when it stops bothering you.
And dying in dreams usually means a change in yourself, really cut-and-dry nightmare in the way you explained it. Your subconscious trying to scare you to empower yourself, that’s all I can offer you, the details you gave weren’t the right details, your emotion during certain specific times, noticing strange things etc. would’ve been more helpful. Dark figure waking up multiple times still dreaming, is quite basic.
So yeah, it’s most likely you just feeling uneasy about the new place.
The dream suggests that you are experiencing acute stress, fear of insecurity and anxieties in various aspects of your waking life due to unseen dangers and family conflicts.You need to tone it down and allow the mind and body to rest and heal.Better to discuss your dream and affairs with some intimate friend to release your repressed notional dangers and try to be happy.f
May have a haunted house there, and it sounds like you need to know God in your life as a Christian. God is your spiritual Father, and when you are a Christian, He can protect you from spiritual evil. If you say the prayer below, you can get God’s help by praying about your life, and also get to heaven after you die someday if you live a good, God-honoring life. God is life, love, all-powerful, all-knowing, eternal, holy. If you are a Christian, then you can call out to Jesus Christ if this happens again — just say “Jesus” til it stops. Also, you could have a pastor or priest come and pray over the home. Most important is to pray the prayer here so you can be a Christian, and then you can get God’s help, and could get to heaven someday. Your boyfriend and others in the home should be Christian too for the best results of protecting your home.
This is how to know God — the basic Christian message and prayer — you need to accept God’s Son, Jesus Christ, into your life to be a born again Christian and follow God’s ways so you can receive God’s guidance in your life and get to heaven after you die. Knowing God can transform your life. When you know God, then pray about your life, God can help you live a better life. As God is love, life is primarily about love and relationships in order to have a rich and full life. Also, you need to know God’s Son, Jesus Christ, in your life as your Lord and Savior as Jesus died on the cross as payment for our sins. Having Him with you will give you God’s blessing and forgiveness, as you live God’s way. Not following God leads to hell, eternal suffering. Instead, there is an important prayer to pray to become a born again Christian. This prayer should be said with faith in God and a sincere heart:
“Dear God, I know that I am a sinful person and I don’t want to be like this anymore. I know that Jesus Christ died on the cross as payment for our sins, and I want to accept Jesus Christ into my life as my Lord and Savior so I can receive God’s forgiveness, guidance, and go to heaven someday. Thank you, dear God, for your mercy and guidance; in Jesus’ name. Amen.”
This prayer can take you to a new place in your relationship with God and transform your life. After saying this prayer, you should check out a Christian church, like Baptist or Lutheran. The church can get you baptized and prayed for, and you can pray for yourself daily. Also, get into their Bible study group so you can learn more about God, Jesus, and God’s will for your life. The Bible is God’s instruction book about how to live a God-honoring life so you can go to heaven after you die. Ways to stay connected to God’s path include loving God and Jesus Christ, obeying God’s ways, daily Bible reading, daily prayer for yourself and others, getting to church, having your church prayer group and/or pastor pray for you, fasting with prayer for a higher level of prayer, getting with other Christians and doing a Bible study, singing hymns to God, taking communion with the church, helping and loving others, expressing your gratitude to God for His help in your life by telling others of your progress and helping them draw closer to God too, tithing, volunteering at church.
