We’ve all been there—waking up in a cold sweat, with your heart pounding after a nightmare so vivid, that it’s hard to remember what’s real. Whether it’s frantically running from a faceless pursuer, falling from a great height or being trapped in a room with no escape, these unsettling dreams can linger long after we’ve woken up.
The emotional threat of conflict or dissatisfaction in real-life relationships can create a need to prepare for confrontation or further emotional upheaval. When individuals experience tension or discord in their social interactions, their mind may simulate scenarios of being chased as a way of processing these emotional threats.
Physiologically, those who experience respiratory issues during sleep, such as sleep apnea, or breathing problems in their waking life report dreams of suffocation more frequently than those without such issues. This suggests that the body’s struggle to breathe can manifest in dreams as the terrifying sensation of being smothered or choked.
