Crazy dreams and possible meanings

[cathexis]

Most nights I have a very real dream that I'm at work taking care of patients. Wake up with a start truly believing that I fell asleep at work endangering a critical patient. I wake up and start getting out of bed. My Partner needs to talk me down and convincing that We are in bed and that I am caring for a critical patient. Sometimes that takes awhile. Lately, I have been waking in a disoriented state. This morning, I woke in a strange place with my Partner looking very different. She was Asian, and She doesn't have any Asian blood. Turned my head looked back, and She was Herself.

Afraid to go see a neurologist. What if it's Alzheimer's or another organic brain disease. Scared to see a shrink...maybe I'm going crazy. Afraid to tell my psychiatrist friend, she might diagnose me with some weird disorder. I mean, I'm already OCD, a major germaphobe (after work, used to take bleach in the shower with me) and agoraphobic.

Last night, I had seriously weird dreams but I can't remember them anymore. I lost them about 10 minutes after waking. The night before, I dreamed I was suffocating. I was sleeping and couldn't breathe and then I'd wake and realize it was a dream and then do it all over again. All night. It made for a long night.

I HATE that!

Probably something you feel out of control about, I'd say.

I had borrowed a piece of clothing from one of my sisters and messed it up somehow. I also borrowed a pink dress with no sleeves from my aunt. There was a string hanging and it kept bothering me. I discovered the string was attached to the belt which was made up of little ropes and twisted to make a belt. The string was stained from chili. My older sister then pointed out that I have a chili stain across the front of the dress by the belt. My sister found a tag that said the dress cost $9,878.00. I cried and cried but then my aunt came and said she only paid $100 because the daughter of the lady she bought it from was a dressmaker and she had tons of dresses. I continued crying and saying I was never borrowing clothes again.

So bizarre. I'd be interested to know what this means.

Wow! That sounds like a nightmare. Sorry that you had such a bad dream Wrang1er.

This sounds like it could be an anxiety dream. I get them sometimes. Often my anxiety dreams have an odd twisted connection to what I'm worried about. For instance in your dream the dress is very expensive. Maybe you are worried about money? Just guessing based on my own dream experiences. Or I could be way off base.

Want to talk about nightmares,huh?

I woke up with something sitting on me last night,and get this,while one was sitting on me,another was pulling on my arm.It was total darkness in my room and I couldn't see these two things but I tried to move and could not move a limb.I tried to speak but couldn't do that.It felt like both of them were up for some sinister play with me and I wanted to struggle and fight them off of me but I was paralyzed and felt totally helpless.

Kind of reminded me of the old hag syndrome what some people experience when they wake up during the night with someone or something sitting on them.

I couldn't see them but in a way happy that I couldn't because these things felt evil ,but at the same time mischievous and playful.Their intent was to do whatever the hell they wanted with me,very scary feeling.

This is what happen next..not being able to get out of a bad situation,I prayed.The lord or perhaps my guardian angel spoke to me and told me don't resist,stop struggling and close your eyes and go back to sleep,that everything will be ok."I'm here",the voice told me.

So I did what it told me to do and closed my eyes and went back to sleep.Almost instantly I did fall back to sleep and pretty much slept good the rest of the night until morning.When I woke up i didn't feel scared or frightened by anything.I felt pretty good,actually.There was no bad energy left behind,no bad anything.
So my guess was that by praying for help, help came and took care of those two demons or whatever they were.

Btw, the only time I pray is when I'm in some serious trouble.Praying works for me.

I had the strangest dream last night. Does anyone know what I’m talking about when I say “ the picture of Jesus knocking on the door”????? My Nana and Pappy had this picture (more than one, actually) in their home when I was growing up. Well last night I dreamt of this picture and now today I’ve been driving myself crazy trying to figure out WHY????????????? Any ideas? Could it be my Nana trying to contact me?
