How Did You Sleep Last Night?

[Tanishq]

I had good sleep. This time I forgot to close windows, but I have been always afraid to keep windows open and fear of something. Some fresh air during sleep, that helped me to get good sleep today. I had some dreams, but forgot them all. I have feeling they were about my family, but I don't remember what was that about.

For the past two nights I have had some whoppers of dreams. I had a bear on his hind legs touching me with his claws and I needed help to get away from the bear. It was all about bear management in the forest.

The second dream, I was a soldier in the army where a war was being waged. I was supposed to be the last one out, and i would know I was going to die in the mission. There were pipe bombs and land mines. It was my job to light the fuse. I hid as best as I could to not get hurt. It worked both times. I had a big gun. I was shooting it. I lived. Meanwhile the war continue to wage on. I have not clue what these dreams represent to me. I am trying to not let them haunt me. i slept ok.

I sure do not like this. I hope it goes away.

I sleep on and off throughout the night, often needing to sleep more than just at night to feel well rested. I take enough meds to knock a horse out and make him sleep for 12 hours, but I am in bed by say 10:30 PM and usually I wake at 3 AM and then have to coax myself back to sleep. Then I wake on and off for the rest of the night. Dreams, often they are nightmares, but I only remember them if I wake during them. This week I dreamed of my parents. In the dream, my mother was like a mummy, she could not stay standing nor could she speak. She was slowly falling over, tilting and bending to the side, as my daddy ran from behind me to catch her. In reallife, daddy was crippled and in a wheelchair for the last few years while mommy cared for him 24/7. In this dream, somehow their roles were reversed, I think, but also it is clear to me that in this dream my mother had already "died." (even though she showed some small signs of life). Also, my mother died first, so this dream was something about the time between when my mother died and my father was still living, but barely, in terms of the way he wanted to live. He spent those last years after she died in a nursing home. She was 86 and he 88 when they passed respectively.

When I had a severe depression breakdown earlier this year, I would wake up several times during the night to check if my husband was there. They put me on Seroquel to help prevent this. It pretty much does though I find I still have those nights where I can't sleep. Last night I didn't fall asleep until around 4 am. I tend not to sleep well if I'm anxious about something coming up. I also have times where I am simply afraid to go to sleep. I still haven't figured out what it is about sleeping that makes me afraid. But it is almost like a panic.

I had a hard time falling asleep. I had another dream. It is all confused and jarbled. I do not understand why I am getting dreams every night. Part of the dream was a little kitten who held onto a baby rabbit like it was a teddy bear. Very sweet. I had a yard of leaves I was volunteering to rake up for pay. Wanted to do some pruning and cleaning up some large trees in the yard. At least they are harmless dreams. I slept good.

Not very well. I'm going to shop for a better bed!

My sleep feels never enough. This week, my sleep has been interrupted by early morning phone calls while probably sleeping less than 5 hrs. Last night i went to sleep around 4-430, woke up close to 1pm. Not enough...

My nightmares are back. Night before last I scared H in the next room as I woke up screaming. Last night, although the nightmares were there, the only ones I disturbed were the dogs.

I slept 12 hours. However, I had this weird dream. I was at a school and I was sick and kept falling over and couldn't get anywhere. People were trying to get me to the office to call my grandma because I needed to go to the hospital. She showed up and talked to me and then disappeared and never came back. She abandoned me. That wasn't fun at all. I didn't wake up feeling so great.

I did not sleep well. I woke up at three am. I had a very bad dream. I am starting to have bad anxiety and am worrying again. I took my anxiety meds and am feeling al whole lot better. I do not like this at all. I liked it better when I was sleeping better at night. I do not know why they are starting up again. I sure do not need this.

I didn't sleep at all. I knew I had to go to the hospital today, so I couldn't turn my mind off.

I slept but kept waking. The more the dreams came, the closer the dogs snuggled to comfort me, until it got to the stage I had to turn on the light and move them over as I was clinging to the edge. Bear in mind, it is a king size bed with only me in it :rolleyes:
