Is Anyone Else Having Weird Dreams?

CrazyKittyLvr2 — Wed, 20 May 2020 19:04:57 GMT

For the last 2 weeks or so I have had the weirdest, most bizarre, WTH dreams.

I have insomnia and don't sleep much but when I do I dream like crazy. I've dreamed 2x I was back working at the place I couldn't wait to leave. If they called and offered me a million bucks a year to just answer phones I'd laugh and hang up. That place was hell on Earth.

I dreamed I was in a strange house and a 5yr. kid was singing commercial jingles non-stop at the top of their lungs. In the dream I was screaming for them to stop singing and just shut up.

I don't drink , don't eat late. Sometimes I take 1 Melotinin but not every night.

I guess it's maybe it's being cooped up. I don't feel overly stressed or nervous.

I thought so, but then I realized that it's just real life nowadays.

No weirder than usual, for me. I always have weird dreams but now I cannot seem to remember them and I HATE that! I always went through them and analyzed them. Now, even if I try as soon as I wake up, nothing. I just remember how I feel and that's it.

But at least I'm not having nightmares hardly ever anymore. Took nearly 65 years to get there!

@CrazyKittyLvr2 that's the problem, you have to start drinking. lol

Actually I read an article not too long ago about people having strange dreams and remembering their dreams more during the pandemic. I don't remember the details, but google the topic if you are interested. You aren't alone, it is happening to a lot of people.

YES! They're not nightmares, just weird. Of course I usually don't remember them, but if I get interrupted by a kitty or two jumping on me or licking me and sort of wake up, I always want to get back to them, and I can't.

Our kitties think life is normal, so they wake us up around 6. I'm a late night person anyway, and I've been sleeping in a bit, past 7:30 or 8, when I previously got up. DH is sleeping a littel later. He usually gets up around 5:30 or so! By the time I get up they've been up, had breakfast, played with DH, and are ready for a nap beside me. They always look annoyed when I disturb them!

@Travone Yeah, all I need is to add drinking. Not going to happen. I remember the dreams and just chuckle because they are so stupid.

@CrazyKittyLvr2 I've always had strange dreams, just like @QueenDanceALot . In fact, on a rare occasion, I realize that I'm dreaming and I can manipulate the dream. Wild! The thing is, I can usually decipher the meaning of my dreams. They reflect my concerns and emotions at any given time.

Yes, different, odd themes, but some have been somewhat entertaining, unlike the reality I'm waking up to every day.

MamaWick — Wed, 20 May 2020 19:37:47 GMT

Yes, very strange dreams.

@PA Mom-mom Normally I don't dream alot and even when I do there are not goofy and bizarre like they are now.

I chalked the one with the kid singing non-stop, mainly that dumb Folgers commerical song, to everyday just being the same over and over again.

Yep. Yesterday while napping I dreamed my dogs were actual children. My 12 year old Frenchie who was napping with me got up out of the bed and was a big teenager 😂

Yes, I have had several strange dreams lately, but thought it was just me. Some are so realistic, when I wake up, its hard to discern reality from the dream. There has to be a connection between them, and subconscious pand COVID related stress.

On the surface, I feel I am handling things fairly well (all things considered), but my body is telling a different story-I suppose. I would love to be able to interpret dreams.😁

~~~All we need is LOVE💖

Good dream upon waking up today. In it, my husband brought me a gift. So I guess it was weird, there was no reason for the gift.

I have weird dreams a lot. Last night I dreamed I bought a house and when I looked through the window all I could see was a cornfield. I was deeply upset cause I didn't want to live out in the middle of nowhere. Strange dream. I have lots of very detailed dreams too.

Rarely, but when I do I wonder what the dreams mean. DH dreams more that I do, and he'll even kick or wiggle. I lay still when dreaming.

Yes lots of dreams that totally don't make sense....one thing in common though is that I'm sort of ageless....I'm neither old or young.....I'm just me.

I remember my Mother would have laughing dreams. She would wake up laughing like crazy,

The only one I remember her telling was she dreamed she saw a donkey wearing a big straw hat with flowers on it and it walked like Charlie Chaplin. Don't ask.
