That sounds like a horrible way to start any day. As an experiment, have you tried saying something like this before bed?
" I bind all demons from manipulating my dreams in any manner. I forbid them from entering my dreams or from allowing them to bring any fear or anxiety into my dreams. In Jesus name."
It can't hurt and might help.

Well, maybe I could try and play counselor from across the internet (I know, right?). Well, you are having nightmares about being chased and trapped, right? What is chasing you in these dreams, if I may ask? I'm just saying that because there may be something in the dream that is chasing you that could cause you anxiety in real life. Do you know what usually makes you afraid? Ask God to search and know your thoughts and lead you. He knows every word before you speak it and every thing you will see before you see it. Nothing is secret before him, and whatever darkness you are facing he will light it up. So I just ask these things to perhaps get the ball rolling. Keep talking to us Jordache. We want to help you.

Hi
Listening to this prayer again and again in your home will bring you freedom.GHeV3rpg-wM also youtubecindytrimmatomicpowerprayers. Father in Jesus name if there is something in her life that she needs to repent of, please show her so she may repent of it. If there was an involvement in the occult in your family or your life God will set you free from it. Also if there is or was pornography in your home, it should be disposed of and repented of. If you know of someone who had an abortion in your family, repent for them as this was a child that is now in God's arms, but God wanted to live. Father I plead the blood of Jesus upon her, her home and her family in Jesus name and pour your grace upon this household. amen

I pray dear lord that you do not put any judgement for fears for they may not be a reflection of any real or rational thing but it is something that is felt and it is real when it cause stress and that affects her body and in turn she goes to be and her subconious state is manifesting a state of stress as well.I pray that you heal her thoughts of dread,fear, and panic and turn them into a sense of joy in knowing she is protected by the name of jesus may she repeat those words and know that with your name is comfort and all else will yeild to it.May her my be made perfect peace! remember we do have to repent to god when we fall short but with him in your heart and believeing in his forgiveness he is not a punisher. you did not get this anxiety because of an unrepentant heart and you can let go now!I believe and I pray in jesus holy name amen!

huh? I posted a reply and apparently it didn't show.
So in response to the above comment, I have had these types of nightmares for years, probably my whole life, and I very much appreciate the psychological approach. This anxiety is very much mainly a medical issue related to heritage and a chronic medical condition. I have been diagnosed with PTSD, GAD, and Clinical Depression. If you knew my life story, it'd make a lot of sense.
So these dreams are usually only feeling dreams. They are in the first person, meaning I see them through my eyes. I don't see myself. Often times I'm in the dark and I sense something chasing me. If I do see anyone it's usually someone I don't know or one of my parents trapping me. However, I usually cannot see the "enemy". It's just like something is lurking in the shadows waiting to pounce.
I recently began running again. I ran for several months but got injured, and it took about 4 months to heal. By then it was too hot to run, so I didn't run for another 2 months or so. So a couple days ago I began running again.
I have plenty of stessors in my life. 1) I have to move within 3 weeks and I have no place to go. My roommate said we'd discuss it next month but apparently chose to have the convo a month early and gave me until Aug 15 to move. I don't hold it against her. I cannot pay rent... onto stressor #2. 2) I have been fighting with disability since Oct. 2012. Every person says someone else is supposed to fill out my paperwork. I have spent hours and hours fighting this including speaking with 3 drs., Spending 6 hours on a bus, and walking 5 miles through downtown Los Angeles in order to speak with my dr., spoken to hospital admin, social workers, and disability workers. I'm at a loss. At this point I have no income. I have to find a person to put me up for free. 3) Dealing with some complicated grief regarding my father (died last year) and my mother (still alive). 4) I have a chronic illness and very little support. My bf is very sensitive to it including nearly becoming a vegetarian for me, but he doesn't really know how to handle it.
Uhm... is that enough? 6 months
Mostly, I just don't know where I'm going. I lived in an apt that was way too expensive for me (about 75% of my income). I lost my first job in Jan 2012 for medical reasons. Instead of filing for disability, I chose to take another job and lost that for medical reasons also. I moved out Nov. 2012 and moved into a home of a church family for free. I was there for 6 months and had to move once more. I chose to go to a place where I had a low rent because at the time I thought I was getting an income soon. The only other option would have meant I would have been sick for the next 6 months of my life due to the owners heavy smoking. After I moved my dr changed his mind about disability. Now, I've been at this new place for almost 3 months and I have to move to some place where they won't charge me rent.

I can understand having life throw you all these things and dealing with the mental issues of GAD and depression it takes every ounce of the stength you have to hold onto anything and to tell yourself it will be okay and to let go of the way things are at this time for you. I certainly hope that you are blessed with a stable place to be for a more permant one that is..so you can work on yourself and I know when you want something so bad and when you take one step the rug is jerked out from under you..My father died when I was nine and my house burned to the ground and he didnt survive,my grandfather died on my sixteenth birthday and my granny on christmas day three years ago and that is on my mother's side. I do not know much of my father's side his father and mother were sickly abusive to him and after my father passed they had no contact with me and it was only one the internet that I found out my dad's brother died in o6 and the other two brothers are in prision. I have seen alot of death in my lifetime and I tend not to take things for granted but with my phycological problems I worry about my future and health all the time. It takes everything out of me almost all the time!I hope that the lord will bless us both and help us to see a light at the end of the tunnel!
