Ok, is anyone else experiencing incredibly strange and bizarre dreams? At this point I'm not even sure why I am bothering to go to sleep at all. They are all SO VIVID! It is like really being there and, by the time I wake up, it is like I didn't even sleep at all. There doesn't seem to be a consistent theme or even "feeling" to them.
Some are the most horrendous, terrifying nightmares I have ever had in my life (like cold sweat, heart palpitations, can't breathe, wake up screaming kind of nightmares). Some are so erotic they even make ME blush (and, seriously, I am not reserved in that department...ummm... at all). A few have been absolute bliss (most of those have been baby dreams and the feeling of happiness is utterly overwhelming). Some are just neutral, not really emotional... just there. Even those are incredibly vivid, detailed and life-like.
I know pregnancy can cause vivid dreams, and it did for me with DS and DD... but this seems like it is above and beyond normal. It has been going on since early in my first trimester. It is like someone plays movies in my head all night long, but even more real than that. It is starting to actually interfere with my sleep because I wake up exhausted!
Anybody else? Any suggestions? I've tried some crystals and lavender under my pillow but I'm close to resorting to counseling...
