I saw this thread on another BMB and got really curious what kind of crazy dreams you guys are having. I know I've been dreaming up all kinds of weirdness and remembering most of it due to waking up all night long. Let's hear it!
The other night, I had a dream I was driving and the GPS warned me, "Caution, slow moving tortoise ahead." When I came upon the road obstruction, it wasn't a tortoise- it was my BIL in an armadillo costume. He jumped into my car and demanded that I drive to Vegas so that we could perform as a duet. I mean, what?
Hm, this time I had a sex dream with Jody from Shameless 🙈 nothing crazy other than that.
Last time I had a dream that a girl from my pregnancy forum and I were strippers and I was making more money than she was, so she told me that she knew how to cut hair and then cut all of mine off 😂
I dreamt DD1 was kidnapped by a religious cult, and somehow I got permission to enter the cult headquarters to try to get her back. The place was a gigantic multi-story building, and there were cult members leading kids around through it trying to avoid the search parties while pretending they were following their daily routine. I met a big guy with a little boy he had been abusing, and I somehow got a wire whip away from the guy and whipped him with it so that the little boy could get away.
Eventually I managed to find DD1, and the cult people had tried to rename her Yvonne. Anyway, we got up to the roof where there was this big crowd, and we began walking across it to meet DH and DD2, and somehow we got separated and the cult people just folded her back into the other groups of 100 kids. I started freaking out and trying to find her and then I woke up and I felt so upset that I hadn't been able to save her.
There were many other weird details, but I'll spare you all.
@misskimsue if I remember correctly, I didn't know she cut it off so I danced anyway and she was pissed I was still making more money 😂 looks like I missed my calling 🤷
@misskimsue it was seriously terrible! I tried to go back to sleep so I could dream it again and get it right and save her, but I couldn't get back there 😭
@brie_and_almonds before I was pregnant I had a dream that I watched DS die of anaphylactic shock in the backseat of my car. I was screaming and crying and trying to save him and it didn't work. I woke up crying and kept trying to go back to sleep so I could save him. It was the most horrifying dream I've ever had in my life.
Funny you bring this up today. Just last night I had a dream that I was in a relationship with my previous OB. IRL, I had been going to him for over ten years (only had to switch because they sold their practice to the devil and my insurance does not cover that devil) and I must admit that over time I developed a little crush on him. He's definitely not the "omg he's so hot" type (otherwise i would be too nervous to let him look down there lol). But he grew on me. Never had a dream about him before until last night. Probably because I do miss him. Don't get me wrong, my new OB is awesome sauce. But I have such a history with this guy (multiple surgeries and procedures over the years). I was devastated in July when I found out I couldn't see him anymore.
I had a crazy dream last night that the earth was invaded by aliens, and I got separated from DH and pup. I ended up going into our cabin and stocking up on woolies (I'm a knitter) and all my pregnancy survival food (packages of nuts, peanut butter, pretzel packs, applesauce, etc.). I think DH was captured. I then was in the underground avoiding capture and I was hiding my pregnancy, but was getting too far along to hide it. I was getting ready to name the baby Chris after DH because I was so sad I never found him. And right at the end, I heard my pup Bruno barking and found him, but he was all skin and bones but we were so happy to see each other. It was really weird and sad.
My dreams have been absolutely insane and they are every night! There was one where my staff at work put on Grease: The Musical as a play, and I was Sandy. I almost slept through the opening number and completely messed up my makeup. My DH and SON (I’m a FTM) we’re in the audience watching. We performed at an outdoor theatre and it went from night time to daylight and the whole nine yards, which was interesting. Not sure who played Danny, I really only remember Summer Nights and Hopelessly Devoted during the actual “play”. I finally woke up and had Hopelessly Devoted stuck in my head for 2 hours! I’ve had weirder dreams, but I remember that one well!
@eatinwatermelonseeds That's horrible! Ugh, I'm so sorry. I often have paranoid thoughts about loved ones dying unexpectedly, but dreaming it is so close to living it...
Another time (not pregnant), I dreamt that one of my students (who irl was a super sweet, wonderful kid) kidnapped DD1 and hid her (alive) under the floorboards in a cabin somewhere. I had to hunt down the student and torture her to get her to tell me where my DD was... I couldn't really look at that kid the same in class after that.
I had an erotic dream within a dream the other night lol. It was strange. Dream 1 I was hot and heavy with some dude, no idea who it was, but it was good. But then I woke up (still dreaming) and when I opened my eyes the guy was actually DH and then we continued what I had started in my original dream. Then I really woke up and was a little disappointed that he wasn't on top of me until I looked over and saw the five year old in between us. #cockblockkid
@brie_and_almonds@eatinwatermelonseeds It's so unfair that after spending most of our waking hours worried about the safety and welfare of our kids, our subconscious terrorizes us further! Although I guess it makes sense that we often dream up our greatest fears.
@expandcontract Although I don't have a crush on my OB, I can totally relate to getting attached. I had to change doctors halfway through my pregnancy with DS2 and was surprised how sad it made me. Insurance changed again since then, so I did get to go back to my original OB this time.
@mrskoz428 Your dream actually sounds amazing (apart from the botched makeup and opening number). I love musicals and would kill to be able to perform in one, but I suuuuuuuck at singing. I try to sing "I Dreamed A Dream" all the time in the shower, but it just pisses me off that I sound like shit.
@mrskoz428 there's an old wives tale that says whatever you dream, you're having the opposite. It was true for me the first time, I'm interested to see if it is this time and for you. The first time I dreamt of baby girl's and a little five year old girl. This time I'm dreaming of little boys. 😬
@eatinwatermelonseeds I’ve had two dreams now about having a boy and my mom is dreaming of a granddaughter. 🤷🏽♀️ 6.5 more weeks until we find out, but who’s counting! 😂
Edited to add my dream from last night: Apprently, I went to the pharmacy to pick up my anxiety medication and they tried charging me over $100 for a 30 day supply. It’s normally $2.45 so I told them to go fuck themselves and drove away crying. I’m even cranky in my dreams! 😂😂
I had a dream last night that DS and I were both kidnapped, I was tied down and had to watch him be tied down and murdered. It was horrifying. But then I went into another dream where I was eating French fries, so it ended on an okay note.
@mrskoz428 omg 😂😂 I'm hoping with how excited I am that I might have a dream about the sex of the baby tonight or tomorrow instead of these dumb nightmares and dreams of eating or getting laid 😂
@eatinwatermelonseeds I had a nightmare that my DS got murdered in school. I took a nap right after dropping them off school. I woke up in tears it felt so real. ☹️
I lost my first baby to preterm labor at 21 weeks I once had a nightmare that I went to the cemetery and dig him out and when I did he was alive I rushed him to the hospital and he died right there☹️ Talk about heartbreaking nightmare I woke up in tears
when I was pregnant with my daughter I had another nightmare that a priest told me I had to abort because I was pregnant with the devils child he kept chasing me I tried calling my mom to pick me up and the phone line switched to some demonic voices I woke up crying it was so scary 😣😣😣😣
I had a dream last night that DH and I were a part of a huge gender reveal party at a church (not the one we go to, just a random church). They read a list of couples names (like around 15 I think) then announced they were having girls. Then they read another list of names and we all were anxiously awaiting in anticipation of what we were having (not sure why as there was only one other option) and they announced we are in the group having a boy. I burst into tears and started sobbing happy tears, DH couldn't stop kissing my belly. So clearly I know our preferences, and @eatinwatermelonseeds and am now concerned how I'll react in the theory is right and it's opposite of what I dreamed.
I had a sex dream with Bella Thorne last night 😂 and some actor I'll have to look up his name (he was Clay in 13 reasons why) but he said he had a heart problem and couldn't join us. 😂
@imrachellea it's just an old wives tale! It's no more accurate than heart rate, ring test, or nausea to determine. Fingers crossed you get your boy. I'm half expecting to go tomorrow and be wrong about it being a girl. And up until today I've been perfectly okay with either one but I find myself leaning a little toward wanting a girl. But DS wants a brother so I'm trying to imagine him with his baby brother and I think he'll be a good big brother either way but probably have more fun with a brother.
Been having strange dreams, but the strangest/best happened when I wasn't pregnant - I killed Freddy Kruger in my dream!! The really strange part was how I had to kill him - I used a piece of my hair to sever his femoral artery and that killed him 🤷♀️ 🤣
I had a dream that I was at my old dance studio being measured for a costume, while pregnant. They were hoping to make my measurements smaller (I have no idea why) so they made me go take a poop, which ended up literally all over me. Not sure why I pooped on myself but it seemed like a normal thing in my dream. No one was phased by it at all. My brain has been playing some serious tricks on me!
So sorry to everyone having nightmares! I used to get night terrors until I turned about 25. DH would wake me up all the time because I'd be sobbing hysterically in my sleep.
This pregnancy I've had a few sex dreams, but I've had tons of dreams about being in school or college, never attending class, never doing homework, and then a test coming up and panicking because I forgot I was even in said class. And then trying to figure out how I could drop or take an incomplete. I never had dreams like this when I was actually in school, only since I graduated from college.
I had a weird one the other night where my younger BIL and his new wife somehow got it in their heads that they were going to buy our house and she started coming over with her dad and brothers to make tons of changes to our house and they replaced windows, built a guest house (which our property doesn't have room for in real life), and they kept inviting people over to our house all the time. We had never actually listed our house and decided we weren't going to move and DH kept dragging his feet to tell them we weren't selling them our house. I never gave them permission to make any changes to our house and never explicitly told them we would sell to them. I told DH I absolutely would not give them any money for the changes they had made on the house. I was mad at DH when I woke up.
@poshspice I have had a similar dream to your school one but with a baby. I dreamt once that I had a 5 month old baby I was holding and cuddling, but i had never fed it, never changed its diaper, nothing and my boyfriend (at the time) had to teach me to breast feed. But then the baby turned into a cat while it was nursing. 🤷😂 The weirdest thing is I wasn't pregnant when I had this dream 😂
I had a dream last night that I was going to the school my husband goes to and someone found a newborn in the toilet. People started taking shifts caring for it and I was begging to help. I was like "I'm a registered nurse! I'm producing colostrum!" No one ever even let me hold him and I was so mad the whole time lol.
I had my first sex dream! 😂 It was even with DH, except my dad walked in on us, so that’s not cool. Also had ANOTHER dream about having a little boy. I was at the store picking out clothes for our gender reveal and I looked at the envelope that was supposed to hold the big news and it was written in big letters ON the envelope that baby was a boy. I just want to know already!

@brie_and_almonds How horrifying! I have a lot of nightmares when I'm pregnant, too. Most of the time it's a relief to wake up.

I dreamed.
For me, since the SCH bleeding has returned, so have the bleeding nightmares. 😑
