I had a horrible dream last night

KSEDmini · December 2009

I've been shaken up from it all day and can't make myself calm down. I wrote about it in my blog https://ksedler.blogspot.com/ if anyone cares to read it. I have always had really screwed up vivid dreams but in the last 6 months they have started to go away until last night. I've never really been bothered by them but I just can't let this one go. I know pregnancy causes people to have all kinds of vivid dreams, but how am I supposed to deal with them when I wake up? Anyone else having scary dreams? What do you do to shake them besides telling yourself it's a dream (cuz that's not working for me)? I know this seems kind of lame, but this feels way different than normal dreaming.

i've been having really bad vivid nightmares too... it helps me to tell DH the dreams and he's really great about it... I had one the night before that had me crying for hours and made me go check on DD like fifty times... I'm hoping they pass

Yes. I had an especially horrible dream last night and I woke up thinking about it. Prior to pregnancy I was able to wake myself up when dreaming horrible things but last night I felt trapped in the dream. It was awful and it has left me with an uneasy feeling for most of the day. I wonder if there is a way to avoid this! It's good to know I'm not alone.

I was going to post something about this same topic! For a couple months now, my worst dreams are in the morning right around "wake-up time." So when I wake up, I am either shaken, depressed, profoundly sad, or scared. And a lot of them aren't even baby related. I hate opening my eyes with those dreams almost still playing out in my head. I agree, it's not a good way to start the day, day after day!
