I've been having very vivid, violent dreams since I found out I was pregnant...is anyone else? Mine are mostly about running away from people trying to kill me, sometimes I end up getting shot or seeing other people get shot in the dreams. Last night the government decided to starting killing huge groups of people because of over population, and of course I was one of the people they decided to kill.
Aside from the fact that I'm even having these dreams in the first place, the weird thing is that I don't wake up anxious or upset the way normal nightmares would make me feel. I just feel surprised that I keep having such effed up, violent dreams.
Anyone know why this would be happening? DH's theory is that I'm preparing to protect the baby by any means necessary.
Re: violent dreams?
I've had crazy nightmares, but I had these before pregnancy also. My latest ones include being stabbed in the heart with a giant needle and having my hands bitten by wolves. The bad thing is that they seem so realistic at the time.
