Unrational fear of childhood room

56% Normal
7 Comments

When I was a kid I went through a phase of being deathly afraid of my bedroom. In my mind it seemed like the room generated feelings of extreme hate and anger. It got to the point where I couldn't sleep in my room and if I was in it for any length of time by myself I would have a panic attack. Eventually I got over it and everything pretty much returned to normal, except to this day my old bedroom is the setting for some of my most horrific nightmares. Any time I dream of my old room it brings up the same feelings of dread and impending doom. I was wondering if it was normal for unrational childhood fears of one's room to carry over into dreams in adulthood?

    Something bad could have happened to you there and your brain repressed it. Or, it could be paranormally related.

    The owners of the farm that had the fire were probely there still. When a spirit is attached to a object or a part of land, it may stay were it was comfortable.

      this is to jm2010 also....no nothing bad happened in my old room to my knowledge or even in the house, but before that house had ever been built a farmhouse had stood there and there was a horrible fire in the middle of the night and one of the people didnt make it out....not sure why that would make me react to only my room that way...you think the whole house would have bothered me if that was the reason....interestingly my nightmares concerning that room have to do w/ ghosts, possesed toys, and dead people

    Yeah, I had a similar bedroom. Used to live in a very old cottage and my bedroom would be in the centre of the room, its was a large room and everything cast eerie shaddows that terrified me as a little kid and the nightmares i had in that bedroom, still give me shivers til this day, to think such disturbing things came to me at such a young age and in my dreams is worrying.

    you might be psychic? maybe spiritually sensitive to an event that took place in your room?
