[kazzianne]

Ive just had yet another nightmare and cant get back to sleep.

[~Wingnut~]

Hiya kazzianne, I'm awake :o)

[kazzianne]

hiya,hows you at this odd hour(well it is here!)

[~Wingnut~]

not too bad, woke at 3am and can't get back to sleep. Bad dreams are awful :o( You say another nightmare, do you get them quite often?

[Rubyrose]

I'm up. :o)

I have tummy ache. :o(

What you all doing? I was going to try and go to sleep but if you guys are here... Lol

[~Wingnut~]

I've got a few things circling round my brain, hate being like this as it always keeps me awake at odd hours lol

[~Wingnut~]

aww Ruby! Hope you feel better soon, along with bad dreams, belly ache is horrible :o(

[kazzianne]

yeh,i posted a question on here about my nightmares about a month or so ago,and lots of answers about why,but that still doesnt stop them.And 99% of the time they involve horrific things happeneing to my son(like tonights)

[kazzianne]

hiya Ruby

[~Wingnut~]

oh yes Kazzi I remember now, sorry.

I sometimes have dreams like that, they seem so real and really can be disturbing.

[Rubyrose]

Thanks Wingnut. :o) xx

Awwww Kazzi... thats horrible! I can't even think of anything to suggest... Have you tried sleeping with the TV on in the background so you can hear it... or playing calming music? You can buy a sound machine... maybe the noise would give your mind something to focus on and you wouldn't have bad dreams?

[~Wingnut~]

I went in my girls room at 3am just to check them before I came down here and I couldn't hear my eldest daughter breathing so shook her and got a "Whadda you want?!!!" shouted at me! lol I worry way too much!

[kazzianne]

I had such a nice evening as well - it just freaks me out when this happens.I dreamed tonight that I spilt boiling oil over my son and he was screaming and screaming in pain and I couldnt get any cold water out of the tap to throw over him

[~Wingnut~]

OMG Kazzi! that is a terrible dream! You poor thing

[kazzianne]

they're always like that.He's either drowning and I can't save him or similar.I just cant shut my eyes now

[~Wingnut~]

Is it like a being in control thing do you think? The not being able to get water out and do anything. I dream bad things happen and that I try to use the phone to ring for help but cant seem to dial or keep dialling the wrong number, it all seems so real and is really frustrating. The other is running round a building to get help and can't run up the stairs or keep going down the same corridor... Crikey! What goes on in our brains! lol

[Rubyrose]

When I was younger I had 3 dreams all within about 2 weeks, about my little brother getting killed! Its horrible and I feel bad saying it but I always thought that if you didn't tell anyone about a dream then it would come true but if you told someone then you broke the spell. In the first dream he fell out of my mums bedroom window and I know why I dreamt that. Coz my mum always used to check she had shut her window before she left for work in the evening. The second one he drowned in our school pond and the third he cracked his head open. These dreams freaked me out and I never forgot them. I think its coz I used to look after him so much when he was a baby! Awww.

i just dont know wingnut - and it's not even like I go to bed thinkg im gona have a nightmare and so trigger one.I had a brill eve with b/f,just a botttle of wine,watched a DVD,had a good laugh.Its doing my head in!!

So why cant you sleep?

[Rubyrose]

Its like when you dream something bad and in the dream you need to scream and you open your mouth and no sound comes out! Thats a horrible feeling!

My ex had a dream once that I was screaming for him to help me and he was running down a corridor full of doors and he just kept running and I was so far away and he couldn't reach me and I was screaming for him! Weird!

[~Wingnut~]

I guess it's the protectiveness in us

[kazzianne]

Ruby - that was horrible dreams you had too! I do tell my b/f,but I have them so often that I dont always go into detail - think i'd depress him!!
