The night before I saw the so very faint line on a pregnancy test I had a very very odd dream of a few old friends. The next night, more odd dreams. The night after that, dreams of online friends I have not even met face to face. But then last night I was stricken with nightmares. A horrible one about baby.... disturbing. I don't want to give it any more voice than I already have though. But I am certainly shaken by it.
The friend dreams of course make me smile, specially as we have moved so much and so far from so many loved ones. I like those dreams.
I am wondering if anyone else is having very vivid dreams.
I am wondering if anyone else has ideas on keep ward off the bed ones?
Generally, I have very vivid dreams so when I am pregnant they are even more intense. On Wednesday night I had a dream about zombies. It was unbelievably frightening. In my dream I kept telling myself to WAKE UP! I finally did at 3 AM and was so disturbed I could not go to sleep the rest of the night. I was so scared though I could not get up and go to the bathroom or doing anything except lie there scared for the rest of the night. When the alarm went off it was still dark outside so I made one of our dogs go to the bathroom with me. The next night I made DH sleep with a light on
So I understand and empathize, mama
I honestly don't know how to stave off bad dreams so I hope someone has suggestions.
Have you all ever seen the trailer for that Liv Tyler horror movie where she looks outside and these people are just standing in her yard? They then get progressively closer? I saw that while pregnant with DD and it was so frightening that I check our back yard with serious trepidation each night and early morning
Absolutely! Very clear and vivid dreams. I seem to be waking up several times a night too. I don't know if I'm just remembering the dreams because I keep waking up in the middle of one or what. It's been probably 5 different crazy dreams a night lately
I tend to have nightmares when I'm pregnant. Last night I had a dream about myself, my husband and a cheer leading squad, LOL (just not the way DH would want it to be). We were all out int he middle of the woods and giant abnormally large grizzly bears started attacking everybody and just mauling people to shreds. My DH & I found an old house in the middle of the woods and tried to hide from the bears. Our phones didn't work and the bears were still eating the cheerleaders. We hid and the attic and right before I woke up my dh says to me in the dream, "well the bears won't be able to get us up here but the wolves are smart enough to open the attic door!" And then I was awoken by my 4 year old. So I think that's definitely a strange dream!! I think my problem is that I'm generally sleep deprived more during my pregnancies and my dreams tend to get worse the less sleep I have.
