I dont know much about dreams. because mine are mostly dream shifts, or story almost. And I like to study dreams because I think they're interesting how our brain tries to tell us things. Visions almost with dreams. Like with Therians and their dream shifts. Or how we have happy cheerful dreams due to peacefulness, and being happy when your awake, and how you either forgot your dream fast or remember it like it was 2 seconds ago (I just think the human brain is fascinating, sorry, geeking out, back to topic)

But I know what it's like to have night terrors and nightmares ofc, so I do know WHY they happen. Most Nightmares can happen for a number of reasons Such as:

stress, anxiety, irregular/lack of sleep, medications, mental health disorders, and or Trauma. Most nightmares & night terrors are pretty much a warning about your physical or mental health.

Ik some about running away from something. My THREOY is either, you feel threatened but don't truly know or understand the source of the threat, or that you are just, scared. Stress. And You don't know what to do besides run away.

(this is just a theory 2 btw) With the creature & destroying part, I think it most likely means that you're scared of losing someone/something you love. Then when everything turns black, Might be a sign of fear that if you try helping someone/something you love, You fail.

Im not sure about the scar though. With most of my night terrors and nightmares I have, I usually end up with horrible headaches, or major pain in my legs, from running or heavy breathing. But everyone is different (Believe it or not) so Im not sure why. There might be a possibility that your brain didn't process it when you got the scar, then did after you had your dream. Or something happened when you were asleep. But those are only theories. (I like theories)

Hope this helped!!

@feelz: haha those theories were built up other the years because I just have terrible nightmares/terrors since I was really young (like 4 the first ime I remember my nightmares becoming worse)

But Im not sure why you both might be experiencing the same "entity" Maybe because you two are a couple? Or possibly how close you too are? But hallucinations & dreams are not so different. Dreams & hallucinations are both from your brain trying to tell you something. Mostly due to anxiety, trauma etcetc. The only difference really Is one happens when we awake, and the other does not. So maybe its a meshing dream type of thing? though dreams most of the time have a storyline of some sort, where as hallucinations are typically brief images or sounds.- But as I said, All people are different, And I can't say much about the hallucinations Because I only experienced hallucinations when I was starving to death & around the same time I lost someone (long story) and I don't remember much from it-

Maybe seeing your drawings of the "entity" might help? I can always look into this stuff & my theories, and see what I can do!

@feelz: I never experienced something like this, But most of the time, Dreams/nightmares/terrors don't make much sense. (at least the ones I experience, and that's really the only thing I'm going off of & stuff on the internet. And you cant exactly trust the web) And Im comparing hallucinations to dreams to help me understand hallucinations better, as of rn, Im looking into it. There are not many studies I can find (especially when I can only look at stuff on a school Chromebook) about meshing dreams. But Im still looking!!

My main theory as of now is that It's most likely a meshing dream/hallucination of some sort? but I'm not sure if hallucinations & dreams can be mixed. & if hallucination meshing is a thing-

@feelz: Its ok to feel confused, I get it! And it sucks, but im not very surprised there's not much on things like this, Its not common, and everyone, is well, different. So everyone experiences things differently, Best thing we can do is compare & theories. Human brains are very complex.

@Glitchy_XDD: its not just a once in a month dream, it happenes every night there are like 2 times out of each month where i have a good dream
