Have you ever had a nightmare

.

For Your Information

What is the origin of the word `nightmare'?I

Dreams can be pleasant or unpleasant. Nightmares, on the other hand, are always
unpleasant.:smile (56): A frightening dream is usually called a nightmare. When you've had a nightmare,
you wake up gasping for breath. The `mare' in `nightmare' has nothing to do with a female horse.:smile (92):

The word comes from Old English `mare' meaning `incubus'. An incubus, people believed, was
an evil :smile (53):spirit which sat on a person's chest while he slept — hence, the feeling of suffocation.



Have you ever had a nightmare ? How did you feel then ? Were you able to scream or shout ?What do we call that in Arabic ? Do you beieve in that " evil spirit"?If not , how
can you explain the feeling of suffocation and the inability to move a muscle
that the sleeping person feel


Advice
Before sleeping , remember to say
the islamic supplication for sleep
that our prophet peace be upon
him used to say


I wish you all deep , peaceful and undisturbed sleep




.

I used to laugh at my friends when they talk about their nightmares till I had one myself

It was Awful, Terrible, Horrible, and scary. Words can never describe how scary it was
I cried out loud and shouted, I remember that I couldn't go back to sleep that night haha anyways
yes Satan or Evil or Jin *whatever* is involved in this matter
and I believe we call it Jathom if im not mistaken
Thanks God my nightmare wasn't Jathom I'd be having insomnia by now:smile (84):
Thanks for the info
Regards

nightmare !!

I have had a lot of nightmares & they were horrible indeed .sometimes when i wake up after deep & awful dream i can interpret what that nightmares means or what it explains?!!

whenever we do anything bad ,some times nightmares come in your dreams to warn you from doing something or about something wrong going with you and you have to figure out what that about !!

NOT all nightmares are just from satan or devil ,, some of them are messages but how you can interpret them??!!

YOU will not have to ask about it if you are good in thinking and not always depending on others.

thanks a lot for your subject
