Dreams

I know I probably can't do anything about it but is anyone else having the worst dreams EVER I don't even want to sleep.. I hate it!

I had. Normally my bad dreams (before pregnant) was of the world ending or natural catastrophic events out of my control. Once pregnant my dreams changed, and all of a sudden I was having mission impossible like dreams: still tense,  yet more capable of being controlled by my own decision making in the dream. I had two theories from these two different patterns of dreaming. On one hand I feel like the change was a positive because now I felt more in control. And I think I had more control because my mind was adapting to the fact that I needed to survive in order for my baby to survive.  In my mission impossible dreams I thought my way out of danger, and even though my baby wasn't in the dreams nor was I pregnant within my dreamz, I needed to make sure I was safe in order to protect my baby. I feel the change in the nature of my dreams reflected a change in the woman and instincts I was developing as a natural effect of becoming a care taker or a mom. I couldn't afford to be weak or helpless any more as my natural catastrophe dreams rendered me. Making me feel ad though I had no control over the influences of any negative events I encountered. This was earlier in my pregnancy. Now at 34 weeks I still have bad dreams, and some consist of me not being able to be there for my baby... I'm very cautious of what's going on in my environment because of these fears. But I think it's that motherly instant developing, that we all hear about but probably truly don't understand. But if these dreams aren't preparation for becomeing an attuned and attentive mother, idk what is.

The best of what you can do when you have bad nightmare, you pray before you sleep, and read the Bible, you can read palsm 23v1,to end.. Anytime you want to sleep.. You read, and you  will never have nightmare again. Good luck to you mom's

Ugh. Me too! It's awful. The not eating didn't work for me but I hope it does for you!

[heatherashleyy]

Thank you so much! I'll try anything!

I get really bad nightmares at least once a week. I find that it helps to not eat a couple hours before bed. I don't know why it works but it seems if I don't have food in my stomach I don't get the dreams.
