Hi SoloVale !
Wow, please if I ever upset you friend let me know before I end up in torn pieces, of flesh ! What a great way in dealing with the problem. I also have heard from others whom have suffered with the same nightmare, if that is what it was. I really don't know if I was sleeping or awake when the horrid feeling took place. Thanks again SoloVale The Mighty

Remebering a dream
I had reoccurring nightmare's when i was young , that like yourself would happen in streaks for a week or so then go away.Eventually it started being a few times in a night until this one night.falling back asleep after waking in terror it would start again immediately over and over countless times.Long into the night i was exhausted scared and frustrated just wanting sound sleep.Finely not knowing how or why i just snapped as the all to familiar dream started.I flew into a rage i had not nor have since experienced.The pure hatred i had for every image for,for the things there i could not see but knew were there Exploded.I flew at every image and aspect of the dream as it started to try and manifest.Viciously ripping it to shreds like a unstoppable beast.when nothing remaind to destroy i woke up.so exited ,jubilant such a feeling of power, victory of relief it felt like christmas morning .my present was for that dream never to return and if it did boy was it going to be sorry. Never did have that dream again happy to say and a few others shared its fate there after.

Thank you Cee !
For your comments mam, hope all your dreams are gentle and kind, I rarely dream now, unless I do and can not remember. The way my memory works lately, the later is more probable, thanks again Cee

Mike-
This was quite powerful and the photograph was the stuff from Nightmares! It gripped my attention and made me squirm a little, being one who has vivid dreams most nights.

Hi TAPS hope you and yours are doing fine Mam !
The said program that gave the inspiration for my poem TAPS were of your kind of nightmare, though these poor souls were much more affected by them, mostly they had been bulled or abused in one way or another by their own family or friends so called!
Some deeds they had witnessed and some deeds they had carried out theirselfs at a young age not really understanding what they were doing till it was too late. All of them sending the terrible memory away into the depths of their minds.
Mine was from the age of about eleven and went on until my late teens. The tearer would start with a numb feeling over my whole body. Then a force unseen would be pressing down on me, opening my mouth for words of help but their were none there. As if I had been struck dumb! Then a feeling as if someone or thing was watching me. I new it was evil but had know idear what it could be. Some times the experience would last for only a few seconds but other times ten or fifteen minutes.
Sometimes they would occur every night for a week or so, making myself scared in closing my eyes, going two or three days without sleep. Other times maybe only once a month or two, forgetting about the happenings only made them more frightening when they eventually came back. It's making the hairs on the back of my neck rise at this very moment just writing of it.
I was grape picking just outside Nabone France, sharing a barn that had been set aside for us grape pickers, from all over , it begun again for two nights. I was scared stiff by the third and made excuses to friends of the time that I was not tired and would sit outside or go for walks anything but sleep! After a couple of nights of self deprived sleep, I was not keeping up with the work and was taken aside by one of the French hands, whom asked me if I was homesick, if not what was the reason for my slacking. I decided too tell him of my dreams, though I always felt if I was awake when they took place.
''Our the Old Hag of dreams. Yes I know well.' He then asked me if I new the Lords Prayer, I told him I did. '' Then next time you feel her presence mirtilarising. Just start talking it through within your mind.' He then gave me a bottle of wine, sending me off for some rest.
Sure enough that very night it begun again, I still remember reaching the lines '' And make earth as it is in heaven.' I've never suffered since. I hope that's not my famous last words TAPS!

lionladroar, When I have a nightmare, which is not often anymore but there was a time in the past, this part of your poem seems to most closely express what I felt:
spurs striking deep into
memories hidden in pain
Sometimes the nightmare encompasses something I had completely forgotten of the past.

Thank you Kato for your encouragement friend !
I have suffered with nightmares in my youth, but fortunately not since then. By biggest demon is guilt. Not for any particular deed in my past, though I have one or two, more for silly self questioning, if I take a day of leger knowing I have much too get finished and silly little things of no importance really. Guilt I have been informed is a very damaging emotion and one should expel it as quick as possible even if we are guilty ! If you get my understanding, no use crying over spilt milk, they say. Thanks again Kato for your comments. Mike

Thank you Troosha
For your encouragement mam, I did have a few, but not like these poor souls. Some were in their elder years and had lived with them most of their life's. Realizing once they had been vanquished by hypnosis, that they had always been the reason for their low selfesteem. I really never new the power of the hypnosis till watching the said program always thinking it a con trick. Mike

Hi Tony
The artist named Hundertvasser I have been told as been creating smiler art forms too my own. . For far longer then myself, I've only been at it for four years or so. I have not taken a look at his creations just yet, but people tell me he creates on a much larger scale, faces in mountains and landscapes. I was always fascinated in shadows and would draw the shapes I was able too make out, net curtains are always interesting on long summer evenings, I see victorian lace bonnets and veils, sometimes the lady of the manor herself. The picture on this post I was originally going too write a poem about Seahorses, though I never write things down, including my flashes of inspiration, I tend to write on the moment and was reminded of the program about these poor damaged people by a friend and was only looking through my pictures for something in blending and the blue horse popped up, Night Mare. I am lucky in this way sometimes. Some I post as the original photo others I paint with my P.C paints, that way I don't get into trouble for getting paint everywhere but the canvas ! Thanks again Tony for your interest. Mike

What a vivid way of describing your emotional landscape.
I can relate to the fight over the personal demons.. I am relieved to notice, that in the light of day, they simply vanish.

You described the torment of a nightmare with such fervor - as though you know these haunting images all too well. Well done - again.

Hmm, interesting to see it explained. I thought it was about the
gradual overcoming of nightmares as we grow to maturity. I suppose I wasn't far wrong. This is something I like to do - be inspired by something, using it as a starting point to develop lots more interesting twists of image and language. Another of those bright pix - does anyone else do anything similar?

Hi Solovale, thank you for your comments and encouragement friend !
I watched a T.V program some while ago about unfortunate people whom suffer with depression caused by terrible happenings in their child hood, which they have locked away in the back their minds. After hypnosis they relive the episode, but are free from the so many different forms of harm it had caused throughout their lifes. I always have a pocket size digital camera on myself when out and about friend. This particular picture of driftwood I found on the river Orwell in Suffolk England. Thank you again Solovale for your interest friend. Mike
