text: reoccuring dreams since childhood....? i have had two types of reoccuring dreams since i was a little girl and i was wondering if anyone could give me any insight on what they might mean and why i am still having them. first, i keep dreaming of sharks. when i was little the sharks in the dreams were no threat but the older i have gotten the more menacing they've become. now it is one big shark, always the same exact shark. the second dream is where i am in this huge old house, like an old mansion. i can't get out of the house and there is this entity after me, and i am not talking normal ghost here, it's paralyzing in the dream like when it closes in on you, you can feel it coming at you from all sides and you can't talk or move but you can't see it you can only feel it. i have woke up from that dream terrified and almost hyperventilating more then once.  i know they are odd dreams but i could really use any input you can give, serious input. not the typical your a wacko answer alot of you want to give most people. thats a form of night terrors, sleep paralysis. i used ta have them and still do occassionally. after/sometimes not even after have a weird dream its like demons steal my vocal chords and im callin out but its jus like mumbling and whimpers and no1 else in the house can hear me, and then when i actually do wake up i end up screamin lol. not really funny when its happenin tho. but ya, scientist and ur average joe will just say its somethin about transition between lightsleep to not quite reaching rem sleep. but as a christian i know demons are real, so i believe they may also play a role. but everytime i have a crazy nightmare, whenever i call on the great name of jesus i always wake up, or i fends off watevers around me.
