Hi HT

I have a lot of nightmares I get them most nights and they can cause anxiety the next day so sorry yo hear you had a bad dream. Yes I would take a valium to help ease your anxiety, I hope you have had a good day and get some better rest tonight.

I get what is called "vivid dreams". Sometimes they are scary. But it's almost like watching a movie. I was told medications can cause these. But I certainly understand how they can scare you and bring on anxieties regarding death. If you need to take Valium to calm down, then do it. Even a half of a valium might be enough to do the trick. Know that many of us understand what you are going through. You're going to be fine though.

H.T.

That is the worst! I sometimes even have vivid dreams that hang around like a dark cloud with me the following day...I hope this is not the case for you.

If you are interested...I found this site helpful when I was dealing with a lot of bad dreams.

http://www.dreammoods.com/dreamdictionary/n.htm

I don't know how much stock you can actually put into the interpretations...but it is interesting to look up the meaning behind the dream/nightmare...

...and if nothing else, gives you something pro-active to do while you shake off the remnants of the dream.

I hope you were able to get back to sleep!

HT,

Every night for years, I prayed to not have bad dreams after one traumatized me.

I'm sorry about your bad dream, HOWEVER, it means you got into rem sleep which is good and means the alien is working so I commend you for sticking with the mask, even though I know you hate it. Just do it!!

I often have dreams that set the mood for my day, sometimes nitemares, sometimes memories of the past that are unpleasant, they usually put me in a depressed state or anxiety state, depending on the dream. Sometimes I can't shake them off after I wake up…...

I think I dream more because of my meds…..

Hope you have nothing but sweet dreams from now on HT :-)

I decided to take 5 mgs of melatonin every night- took my first one about an hr. ago and I'm sleepy already 1 1/2 before bedtime

HT,

Glad you liked the site H.T. :) I spent my fair share of wee hours inputting strange dream subjects and trying to get an interpretation/symbolism out of them...

...again I don't know how accurate it really is...but it's interesting just the same.:)

Better sleep is coming your way!

the second part of my dreams interpretation, an aspect has me now completely terrified. not your fault mate. some of the things have definitely been on my mind. a couple of the points in the interpretations are worrisome. just my anxiety. can't sleep though.

idea calm the expletive down turtle!!!! there dreams. i have too many, in the one night. wonder what that means?
Posted 3/20/2015 6:32 PM (GMT 0)
i looked it up. it is common. many dreams. anxiety, nightmares are the most common. i get freaked by dreams. had some stuff happen that were prominent.
Posted 3/20/2015 6:46 PM (GMT 0)
Aww...:( Sorry you got worried...

...but just remember that dreams are just a product of our subconscious, and not able to predict things or cause events to happen.

They can be so real and creepy though!!!

shocked

Hope you have a calm rest of the day...and can enjoy the weekend my friend!

I have bad dreams most nights and they kind of just take control of my whole day, I don't know how to deal with them but they make me more anxious than I usually am... I don't take medication, I've never been to the doctor about my anxiety and no one really knows how I actually am..
