Not sure if this belongs in The Study because of Nightmares or The Library because of books.
Anywho, this book is about every single type of nightmare possibleor almost every nightmare, it tells you the history or description about the nightmare and how it came to be, and why it gives you nightmares.
Ever since I got this book, I had less nightmares. So who wants to give it a shot? What kinds of things do you guys have nightmares about?Lol that question sounds creepyI'll see if I can find it and tell you what the book says about that nightmare, and if I can't find your certain nightmare than you'll have to try again with a different nightmare..so saying nightmares about unicorns or Dora the Explorer. xD -

Okay, so this was a while ago. I was walking through a forest with my father. We were going to a vacation home. Suddenly i heard rustling in the bushes. A monter came out. It was a woman, without her legs, covered in blood. We ran, though my father laughed. Then i woke up.

I'll see if I can find that.
Here it is:
Egypt
Ancient Egyptian civilization has a history reaching back as far as 4000 B.C.E. and continued virtually uninterrupted up to the time of Alexander the Great's conquest of Egypt in 332 B.C.E. Information about the beliefs of this culture were lost to the world and remained hidden until the 19th century brought the first systematic excavations and the translation of hieroglyphs. The ancient Egyptians, like the Mesopotamians, viewed dreams as messages from a wide variety of divinities and utilized dreams for divination (predicting the future).
From about 3000 B.C.E, the official religion of Egypt recognized the pharoah (the king of Egypt) as the offspring of the sun god. Re, and therefore as a god himself. Thus the dreams of the pharoah held more significance than those of an ordinary person, because it was thought that the gods were more likely to speak to a fellow divinity. One of the more famous of Egyptian dreams was that of Thutmose IV, who, around 1400 B.C.E., encountered the divinity Hormakhu in his sleep. In the dream, Hormakhu proposed a covenant with Thutmose in which he promised the kingdom would be united and that Thutmose would be wealthy if he promised to uncover the Sphinx (at the time, it was already partially buried in sand). It seems that both sides fulfilled their promises, and Thutmose had a stone column erected in front of the Sphinx on which the story of his dream was recorded.
The myriad of gods and goddesses in the ena such as air (the god Shu) to cultural phenomena such as writing (the goddess Safekht). The Egyptians even had a male god of dreams, Scrapis, who had a number of temples devoted to his worship. There is particularly significant one located at Memphis that dates from circa 3000 B.C.E. These temples were the homes of professional interpreters of dreams, who were referred to as the "learned ones of library of magic". People came to these temples to sleep with the intention of receiving a dream from the gods that would provide an answer to a vexing question (a practice referred to as incubation. which was widely practiced in the ancient world). As in later dream temples of Aesclepius, the dreamer fasted and engaged in other rituals before lying down to sleep. In cases where the temple was too far away from the person seeking dream guidance, a surrogate could he hired to undergo the rituals and seek a dream in absentia.
Along with the other divinities associated with dreams, the jovial midget god Bes was assigned the job of protecting households from nightmares. His likeness was often carved on the headboards and headrests of Egyptian beds. The ancient Egyptians also engaged in rituals they believed could prevent or undo misfortunes predicted in inauspicious dreams.
What we know about the ancient Egyptian dream lore comes mostly from two collections of dream omina that have survived to modern day. The earliest of these dates from the 12th dynasty, which spanned 2050-1790 B.C.E. The collection is known as the Chester Beatty Papyrus III, in honor of Chester Beatty, who donated it to the British museum. We do not know who compiled this collection of dreams originally, as the omina is incomplete at both ends, but the cursive style of hieroglyphs indicates that it was written by a priest. Because of this conclusion, it is classified as hieratic. The complete section consist of 143 good dreams, 91 bad dreams, and their respective interpretations. This section is followed by a list of protection rituals that would supposedly guard the dreamer against the evils portrayed in bad dreams or nightmares.
The second of the dream omina that we have today was recorded by public scribes, and is thus categorized as demotic. Unlike the Chester Beatty Papytus III, which dates from an early period and contains almost purely Egyptian dream lore, the second omina dates from the second century C.E. and was heavily influenced by Mesopotamian concepts of astrology and astronomy. The original version of this omina consisted of 250 centuries, but the passage of time has damaged about 100 of them past the point of recovery. One of the most unusual qualities of this omina is that it contains a section devoted to the dreams of woman; up until this point, woman's dreams were apparently largely ignored near Eastern cultures.
I know you mentioned a few other things about your nightmare, but this is the closest I could find to your bad dream. -
About the evil egyptians? ewe

Andmy dream?

Sorry it took so long to post, there was alot to type, Anime.
Okay, Omega lemme see if I can find that.
Here it is:
Blood
Blood in a nightmare can have many different meanings. We have a complex relationship with blood: it is the very essence of life--it runs through out veins delivering oxygen and nutrients to our body. We know that we would die without it, yet we generally don't like to see it; some people faint at the sight of the most miniscule amount of blood. Metaphorically speaking, blood is associated with out emotional center. If the blood in a nightmare is the dreamer's own, it may indicate a feeling of being "bled dry" emotionally by a relationship. Blood is also connection to notions of kinship, so dreams about blood may be the subconscious' way of obliquiely referencing family issues or problems. To dream of drinking blood or receiving a transfusion may indicate a need for emotional nurturing or recharging. A woman experiencing menstrual bleeding in a dream mat be concerned about fertility issues. For veterans, nightmares involving blood and gore could be a straightforward reply of the traumas experienced during combat (see also Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder). General images of bloody violence in a traumatic nightmare may be residue from an earlier life experience. Repetition of this type of nightmare may indicate depression and/or a penchant for doing harm to one's self or to others.
This is the closest I could find to your nightmare, Omega. -
