Default Vivid Stupid Dreams....

Kitty/Kelly brought up Vivid dreams in the LDN sticky and I woke up this morning after a disturbing dream.

All this talk about aging, caring and mortality gave me a vivid dream, where my Family was plotting to put me away in a home. I cried, it's my worst fear. I don't want to be an extreme burden on my loved ones, but no nursing home, please!!!

LDN causes some of our vivid dreams. Every night I pray for pleasant dreams but sometimes I have nightmares. I wonder why? Something I ate?

Do you have them and what do you think causes yours?

Yes, I have them all the time. Some are so bizarre and mixed up that I have no idea why I dream them or where they come from.

I try not to let them bother me but sometimes they're so real that I just can't help it.

The ones that bother me the most are ones where DDH is either upset with me or I'm upset with him. In those dreams he's usually done something totally out of character for him.

Seeing as how my vivid dreams are about the only excitement I ever have in my life I guess I'll continue to tolerate them. At least I can wake up from them.

I am nightmare-prone anyway, but certain things exacerbate the problem: caffeine, provigil, watching certain shows too close to bedtime. Sometimes no known cause.

I hate it when people tell me they don't dream (or don't remember them). There's no way to explain that kind of dream to someone who doesn't dream at all! My husband is one of those, and he can't for the life of him understand why I'm sobbing uncontrollably about something I dreamed! Before he got smarter, he used to stand there and say, "But it wasn't real!" and of course, I'd sob harder.

I differentiate between nightmares and "bad dreams", though I guess it's all the same. Some are so real that I can't shake them off for a long, long time. And some of the images (or sounds) never really go away.

I think it's all the stupid meds we're on...

I dreamt the other night that my dog who passed last November was with me...and I was removing bones from his hip, one at a time, as I showed them to DD..it disturbed me greatly...ribs, femur, ugh...

Of course, I wondered what the deeper meaning was...don't think I want to know

I don't know Sally because dreams are a portal to things that may come to pass....... or NOT!

As real as they feel in every respect, I place no really value in the aspects of foretelling events, yet I believe the might be an outlet for our inner most anxieties and fears because the conscious mind is turned off during sleep allowing the subconscious full control.

With the number and mixture of medications we are on, I'm surprised more of us don't have really off-the-wall dreams covering good to awful experiences. I only occasionally dream that I might remember and have had serious hallucinations and dreaming due to a bad combination of meds one time.

Sally, as well adjusted and balanced as "I" believe you are, I'm sure your dream was a combination of meds and inner anxiety over a viable fear of being placed in a nursing home. I am assuming a "nursing home," versus an "assisted living community" correct? Big difference.
