Im waking up with scratches on my body. What do I do?

Every now and then we all get a nightmare. Well lately I've been getting them ALOT. The other day I woke up with this long bleeding scratch on my side after having a nightmare. I have no idea how I got it. I do not sleep with anything that can make me bleed, let me alone anything sharp. I dont have long nails either. They're very short and cant do anything like this. And just last night I woke up with a red burning scratch on my left arm after another nightmare. I don't know whats going and what I can do. Help.

Try wearing long sleeves and see what happens. If they are still there, maybe ask a doctor.

Im pretty sure already that my hands are not the problem. Like I said, my nails aren't that long and strong enough to make me bleed.

[QUOTE="ToastRider11"] I sleep with a t-shirt on. So I dont know how I would get a long scratch on my side.

Do you have a cat?

Sorry... I'll go a little easier on you from now on.

This could be a possibility as well.

Do what the other's suggest. Wear long sleeves and try gloves. Give your bed a good look over too, if it's not anything on that then maybe it's a demon or something like the other poster suggested. Or maybe your nightmares are so vivid you do these things to yourself and not even know it regardless of your nails.

1, 2, Freddy's coming for you,
3, 4, lock your door,
5, 6, grab your crucifix,
7, 8, better stay up late,
9, 10, never sleep again"

even if you don't have long or sharp nails you could still scratch yourself if you're having a nightmare.

if you're really worried then go talk to your doctor.

i'm pretty sure you scratch yourself in your sleep.

Maybe it's the mark of the trinity. *watches too much Ghost Adventures*

Tell the rapist to cut their nails?

:P

pics or it didn't happen.

Stop that. You aren't sure of anything. You ask for advice, you get logical advice, and then you try to shoot it down with the "I'm pretty sure" argument.

Wear gloves to bed. If you have scratches in the morning, at least you know your hands aren't the problem.

no matress springs sticking out anywhere?

Set up a video camera.

Could be an angry ex-girlfriend sneaking into your room at night.

It's either you scratching yourself,or an entity.

This. Set up some some cameras so we can get live footage from your room. We'll keep watch for you.

Get the ghostbusters

Maybe it is a cat.

well for one set up a video camera,

Lock your door or atleast bar it up with something like a chair from the inside,

wear long sleeve shirt and gloves,

check your bed thoroughly for anything sharp even a zipper can cut you,

Do this every night for a week after the last time anything bad happened.

DEMONS.

A sweater could solve your problem.
