Wow. Mine were watery flood dreams too. The countryside was epically flooded where I live here. I mean apocalyptically flooded. We had to swim everywhere.

Are you and I linked through our dreams?! :eek:

Had some crazy ass dreams last night, definitely due to new drugs in system.. Very angry dreams and very restless night.

Sorry to hear that, G. Hopefully they'll go away once your body gets used to the new meds.

A few years back, on different meds, I don't really recall being able to remember my dreams at all.

I have heard that happens when people take sleeping tablets. I've never taken them so I can't confirm..

We were driving very fast along a winding country road when we saw that the road ahead was slightly flooded. It didn't look too deep so he decided to plow through it. When we did, the water instantly got deeper and quickly we descended under water. HUGE panic set in and I was going to open the door in order to try swim to the surface but my uncle, who was still accelerating, said something along the lines of "We're nearly through it now", and straight away the water level quickly dropped and we were back driving along the road again like nothing happened.

I've had a flooding dream too since all the rain that So Cal has had recently. Was crossing the nearby animal sanctuary and flood control and it overflowed, taking the car we were in with it. Oddly the next scene had us sunbathing on the beach after going for a swim. A disconnected dream.

I was able to snap myself back in the waking world from a somewhat distressing dream last night.

Isn't that scandal around the damn or related structure that's fallen into disrepair, happening in California?

Northern California above Sacramento, where they may have gotten lazy during the past 6 years of drought. With the predicted record setting heavy rains Friday-Saturday, it may be a nightmare in the making.

I hate it when that happens.

I had a bad dream earlier this morning. Tbh it wasnt even that bad but felt bad in the dream. I'd started a new job and I made a big mistake.

Anyway last night I fell asleep at about 10pm and the odd night I wake sometime around 2 or 3.

It always takes me time to fall asleep so when i do wake in the middle of the night, it takes about an hour for me to get back to sleep. This doesn't bother me mostly but sometimes i worry that I won't get back to sleep to get a decent few hours before the alarm goes off.

I think when this happens and I go into the second sleep, that's often when I have a nightmare.

I wake up sometimes at night, having dreamed during the first sleep followed by a dream during the second sleep. This happened last night. Both were nightmares, and methinks that they were triggered by a stressful decision I have to make at work in the next couple of days. Hans Selye differentiates between distress and eustress, the first being harmful and the second useful in that it gets you up in the morning and to accept challenges positively. Perhaps distress is associated with nightmares, and eustress associated with fun and enjoyable dreams?

I dont know and tbh ive never really put that much thought into dreams but since i posted in here, i was thinking a bit more about it and although my dream last night was a nightmare, after the initial bad feeling when i woke, i noticed that i was very productive and positive today in general.

I had a dream last night that I made a huge mistake in work. Really put me on edge coming in here today.

Recurrent dreams. Same night. 2 or more. Frequency?

I can't even remember anymore, sorry.



Had a strange dream last night.

Before I get to the dream itself, I need to set my mind beforehand. In work yesterday, my old boss was onto me to do something. When I came home, I watched an episode of Impractical Jokers. In the episode, Murray had to talk to a bunch of kids about cremating pets. He showed them ashes and bones etc.

Now onto my dream. My previously mentioned boss was onto me about emptying an ashtray full of teeth and ash. I was really busy so I put it off for a while. I finally emptied it but didn't clean out all the ashy dust. I went elsewhere in work and when I returned I saw my boss inspecting my poor job of emptying the ashtray. He didn't look happy and was angrily muttering his distain. I felt very disappointed in myself and was scared that he'd take out his anger on me.

Hard day at work. Took a nap once back at my flat. Was dreaming that I was dreaming. Anyone had one of these?

Haven't been able to remember any of my dreams recently only that they were pleasant.
I generally like to forget the bad ones as soon as possible.

Jesus Hugo that is awful. Nobody should have to dream about being at work. :pac:

I actually like my new post that started last Autumn. It's a dream come true and not a nightmare.

I had a dream last night that I was pregnant and I could feel the baby. It's little hands was sticking out of my skin and I had to pull it out. Then I woke up. Weird

Pregnant dreams? First time? Or frequent?

Recent stresses = recent nightmares
Teeth breaking apart in my mouth, not just falling out but choking me..

Teeth falling out is a common enough theme with people under stress, i've had it before..

I'm glad I don't have such dreams, rather in a few years they may occur.

Either that, or they were really grand and Hugo might be reluctant to share?

My SIL knew about each of her pregnancies before she confirmed them with a test, because she'd dreamed about it.

Hummmmmmmmmm, I wonder if we had a battle over at the Army forum if that would influence your later dream content?
