‘Orrible dreams.

I had a phase of regular sleep paralysis and terrible nightmares. My GP put me on some meds which worked at once. I think it is partially insomnia related as I regularly wake for several hours in the night. Listening to calming music very low on my I pad helped, but for a while the sleep paralysis and myoclonus were making my life miserable. I too get very vivid dreams also like films.

I can still vividly recall a nightmare I had when I was about seven or eight. A fox suddenly came out of its hole and bit my big brother's arm right off.
That's when I discovered that arms have rings I them, like a tree trunk (I can still picture it) - who'd have thought it!

My brother and I weren't close, in fact he used to be horrible to me, but I awoke from that dream so upset that I crept through to his bedroom to double-check that it just been a dream and that he still had two arms.

Even now, I regularly have nightmares and they can leave me feeling awful for hours after I wake up, but none have stayed with me as long as that one.

Killymouge it's probably related to the continual news coverage of the queen's death.
Maybe try not to watch/listen too much. It doesn't mean anything bad is going to happen.

I used to dream regularly I was trying to hide/escape from paramilitaries (No doubt related to where I live).

MissAdventure pushing a corpse up the chimney! What a dream. ?
Perhaps you and FannyC should try writing books.

At one time I suffer from horrific nightmares, they were caused by the medicine I was taking. I say caused but maybe my brain is always thinking like this and the medicine was allowing it to come to the surface. I don’t know how it works.

"put" not "out"

I have never had a nightmare. In fact, I look forward to bedtime to see what I'm going to dream about tonight!

Here you are, MissA - hope this can out your mind at rest:

some of my dreams are like films and i wonder how your mind comes up with these things

I feel exactly like that.
And when I’m aware that I’m dreaming, I’m amazed that my minds coming out with this stuff.
I’ve got a decent imagination, but nowhere near as good as the one that is at work on my dreams.
It honestly feels like they are coming from elsewhere.
Years ago I had a dream that was very similar to the Hunger Games and the final scene of Tarantino’s Inglourious Bastards.
It was way before either of them.
It was phenomenal!

MissA I have had many ‘Cowell Moments’.
I think the most memorable was John Goodman (he certainly was!) I was only 19

Rein. I'm going out on a here.
Rein. Final answer.

I was only concerned when the chimney sweep turned up in my dream.
It's strange how awful the mind can be, given free reign. Rein?

I believe that dreams about dying don't actually signify death, so don't be too concerned.

I dreamt that daughter called me to look at something, and when I went to look, she had killed someone.

I spent the rest of the dream trying to push the corpse up the chimney to hide it.

mine were too, really awful

I have recurring nightmares, and have since I was a child (sensitive, remember? ) and they are very vivid; like horror films.

I dreamed I was a werewolf one night.
It magnificent, feeling myself contorting into an animal, and then prowling around in the woods, howling at the moon.

I had some very weird dreams on the nicotine patches.Not marvellous ones but very strange.
I also had some weird ones when I was pregnant, both times.

I can't say I was that interested in his face during the dream.

I don't fancy him in real life.

MissAdventure

I had some marvellous dreams when I wore the nicotine patches.
That Simon Cowell (!) is quite a man!

Now that is a nightmare. Which era was his face in?

Are you on any new medication? I find that antibiotics give me unpleasant dreams.

I once tried Bach flowers and they gave me weird dreams, not unpleasant but odd.

When I have had a horrible dream ... when I wake up & yes plays on my mind, I keep saying to myself it is just a dream & not a reality & try to forget it ... this helps me ... may not suit everyone ... hope this may help ... trouble is we can all read things into dreams ... hard I know but try not to let it play & your mind & think of good things ... all the best

I bet it is connected with all the news about the Queen’s death. Your subconscious will pick up various bits and you will then dream about it.

Well, that’s what I think is happening, but I’m no expert.

Sorry, should say ‘family member’
