It's so annoying. I wish I could just stop freaking out! </p> <p>@rahlyrah: oh my gosh girl I would have freaked too! :( yiu poor thing!!! I've had dreams about J before and it's impossible to calm down afterward. </p> <p>@autumn865: I've "seen" intruders too! Oh my gosh SO scary. </p> <p>@Running Elley: :( </p> <p>I've had one nightmare since I was little that involved the joker from batman and it's scared me so much I never saw the Heath ledger version of batman bc I can't bring myself to watch it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-have-nightmares#post-1402300 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 21:42:25 +0000 PointeShoesTutus 1402300@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One of the medications I have to take causes disturbing nightmares if I take it at night. I hate nightmares. I wake up with my heart racing and a sweaty mess. I get them maybe once a month. DH said I was shouting "no, no, no" in my sleep last night but I don't remember any of my dreams being particularly disturbing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-have-nightmares#post-1402296 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 21:39:37 +0000 Koolbreeze 1402296@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I forgot about this. Oops. </p> <p>@PermaStudent: it feels like a nightmare but I can't move or scream. Yet I know its not real but I can't wake up. It always feels like something is trying to get me and I just can't get away. Apparently its not a dream but a hallucination that happens while falling asleep or waking up (from what I've read online)</p> <p>@CupQuakeWalk: it is so scary!! I went a while fine but this past week it happened and I could not get to sleep afterward. I use to have it all the time a few years ago. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-have-nightmares#post-1392771 Sat, 01 Feb 2014 20:45:20 +0000 mrsbookworm 1392771@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do. It always seems to happen when I'm anxious going to bed. Once I wake up, I have to get out of bed and walk around, get a drink, or read. If I try to go back to sleep, I keep obsessing over it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-have-nightmares#post-1392291 Sat, 01 Feb 2014 14:13:18 +0000 Running Elley 1392291@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have nightmares fairly often and they're always about the same general situation (home invasion). I've never had a nightmare about anything else and I've been having nightmares about home invasions since I was little. It terrifies me because I feel like I must be having them for a reason. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-have-nightmares#post-1392240 Sat, 01 Feb 2014 13:37:22 +0000 Mae 1392240@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have never had a heart-pounding-wake-up-screaming type nightmare, but when I'm stressed in life I tend to have what I call "stressful dreams." Since pregnancy they've generally been zombie apocalypse dreams, and I'm always separated from my husband trying to get back to him. In the past they're things like family members dying or being terminally ill. Generally I just wake my husband up for a snuggle and that makes me feel better, although the stress feeling does usually last a few hours at least the next morning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-have-nightmares#post-1392138 Sat, 01 Feb 2014 12:26:36 +0000 autumn865 1392138@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have these "nightmares" that occur in the first hour or so of light sleep. They usually involve giant spiders but have also seen intruders etc. I don't realize I'm dreaming and I "see" them in real time and in real setting (I.e spiders coming down from the ceiling while I lay in bed or intruders with a weapon walking in my room while I am in my bed.) from DH's perspective I bolt upright screaming and thrashing about because I actually "see" these things. It takes me a few minutes to realize they aren't real. Sooooo scary :( I had night terrors as a child. Maybe related to that? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-have-nightmares#post-1392013 Sat, 01 Feb 2014 10:50:03 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 1392013@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Koolbreeze: I have had sleep paralysis too!! Omg so scary. I haven't had an episode for about 3 years but when I was 20 and going through one of the most stressful and dark years of my life, I had them ALL the time. We just experienced a death in the family, I was quitting my job, I left a long term relationship and we were moving out of our hometown. I used to get them multiple times a week where I'd be in my room and I'd see something that needed immediate attention (or else), but I could not move. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-have-nightmares#post-1391999 Sat, 01 Feb 2014 10:44:12 +0000 mediagirl 1391999@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had two last night. :-( I just try to get on and try to forget about them... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-have-nightmares#post-1391996 Sat, 01 Feb 2014 10:41:57 +0000 Synchronicity 1391996@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had one last night; not fun. I usually just get right out of bed, make some coffee and distract myself with cleaning something, browsing online, listening to happy music... anything to get my mind out of the bad dream. </p> <p>@Koolbreeze: Sleep paralysis - that sounds terrifying! What is it? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-have-nightmares#post-1391992 Sat, 01 Feb 2014 10:40:41 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 1391992@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have bad dreams all the time. I think it has to do with my anxiety over E's safety all the time or the thought that something could happen to me. I'm a big worrier.<br /> Be careful on the roads! I can't handle thinking about dangerous roads. I need to leave Michigan and move to Florida, so I can be stressed out about hurricanes instead. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-have-nightmares#post-1391973 Sat, 01 Feb 2014 10:32:54 +0000 NurseMommy 1391973@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, I have them between 2-4 nights a week and have been for about a year. At this point I'm so used to them that they don't really affect me physically and I can go back to sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-have-nightmares#post-1391815 Sat, 01 Feb 2014 08:40:49 +0000 .twist. 1391815@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sometimes, I usually wake up scared and grabbing for DH. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-have-nightmares#post-1391812 Sat, 01 Feb 2014 08:38:40 +0000 pui 1391812@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have been having more nightmares since I've been pregnant... I also have trouble shaking that bad feeling even hours after waking up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-have-nightmares#post-1391811 Sat, 01 Feb 2014 08:37:36 +0000 Ra 1391811@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. I had a dream the other night (when my mom had B) that she gave him a bath and forgot she was watching him and left him in the tub. When I found him he was all bloated and it was terrifying. :sad: </p> <p>I trust my mom 100% and I know she would never let anything happen to B but she got a MOTN phone call to check on him anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-have-nightmares#post-1391767 Sat, 01 Feb 2014 07:24:08 +0000 babycanuck 1391767@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never remember dreams but I definitely remember nightmares. They usually stem from stress I'm currently going through or a major phobia. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-have-nightmares#post-1391763 Sat, 01 Feb 2014 07:06:04 +0000 Koolbreeze 1391763@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've had a lot of nightmares latey because I've been reading a lot of thrillers and I always end up dreaming me and my family are in whatever situation is going on in the book. So I've only been reading happy books lately to avoid the bad dreams. </p> <p>And I go through sleep paralysis sometimes, which is the scariest thing ever. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-have-nightmares#post-1391753 Sat, 01 Feb 2014 05:49:06 +0000 Lindsay05 1391753@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. The last one I had involved LO as well and it took me several days to get over it :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-have-nightmares#post-1391712 Sat, 01 Feb 2014 01:44:25 +0000 Dagny 1391712@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I woke up a couple days ago and had a dream that DH cheated on me and I was so emotionally shaken by it! It was terrible. DH comforted me but it took most of the day to get rid of the feelings.. Dreams are so powerful! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-have-nightmares#post-1391688 Sat, 01 Feb 2014 00:57:02 +0000 Torchwood 1391688@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually wake up DH. And I always have to turn the lights on. Reading helps. Thankfully they're really rare for me, but wow it's awful. Hope you can get your mind off of it soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-have-nightmares#post-1391685 Sat, 01 Feb 2014 00:51:57 +0000 doodlepoodle 1391685@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I almost always remember my dreams, occasionally I'll have a nightmare. Unfortunately, that was tonight. I got up extra early today then had a little scare while driving jake (hit some black ice &amp; couldn't stop) so I was exhausted by the time I got home. I went to bed early and now I have this awful feeling I can't shake from this awful dream. I'm browsing HB and checking weather reports to get my mind off of it. </p> <p>Do you ever have nightmares? How do you deal with them? </p>
