Dreams

Has anyone been experiencing dreams lately? I'm talking VIVID Dreams lol. I'll give some examples Dream 1: About 2 weeks ago I dreamt I was at the fridge, I could choose chocolate cake (which I normallyhate, but wanted in the dream) or Brownies. I was actually torn and couldn't dcide! But before I awoke, I grabbed the brownies cuz they had nuts for protein. Dream 2: Last night I dreamt I was riding my horse in a race lke Amazing Race. I haven't ridden Teddy (my horse) in at least 5 years lol. But we were going, then at the pit stop no one owuld let me put shoes on him (his had blown on the trail). Next orning my stuff is gone, Teddy is tied somewhere else. Some chick lets me borrow and extra jacket and saddle(this one had a mini stove on it!). Next thing I know, I'm hearing Who wants to be a Millionaire and the chick who let me borrow stuff is using her life lines on the first 3 questions! Finally, I see myself on Teddy and we're racing down the trail (we lost alot of time) we race up this mountain, but its too steep and we go crashing down. (We're ok though!) I actually see a path that I can up and where to have Teddy stand patiently while I climb the rest of the way to the clue. Switch scenes, the Millionaire chick comes in and then I wake up. Talk about WEIRD! Is my brain trying to tell me something? lol I never remembered my dreams prior to surgery, but I've had the most vivid ones post! Please tell me I'm not the only wacko out there lol. Just kidding! *~*Jaci*~*

Hi Jaci! Ever since my surgery til about a week ago, I had been having extremely vivid dreams...when I finally got to sleep. After taking 3 days to wake fully from the anesthesia, after that I couldnt fall asleep anymore! I calleed my family doctor for a sedative..that didnt help..I triee gravol and only after taking TWO pills one night, I lay in bed for only 2 more hours til I fell asleep...and when I did, its was dreams! dreams! dreams! At first, each night was filled with vivid nightmares...for weeks..then they gradually became milder but still incredibly energetic and colourful...last night, I finally did not dream that I can recall. I dont know if it was the anesthesia or if it was because I was so excited about finnaly having my surgery and starting my adventure or if it was stress that I was in denial about...but, yes...you arent alone...I still struggle to sleep..Ive always been one to fall asleep immediately when I went to bed...now I lay there for 2-5 hours..just waiting to drift off...grrr. Must be that the "Sleep" Fairy went off on vacation with the "Taste Good" Fairy. *wails* Nancy B

You arent alone!!! I too have been having some really wierd vivd dreams, most of mine have been about my kids and hubby, or being on vacation to places I have never been to, but I feel like I can go there now and get around to different sights....LOL I usually dont remember my dreams but I have been lately and they are so far pretty fun to dream!! Maybe it is our bodies telling us that we are now on the fastrack!! Take good care! Steph

I have some weird ones too. I had one about Dale Earnhardt Jr. we where at the race track some where, and he invited me to his trailer. When I got in side, I woke up. Darn I was hoping something exciting was going to happen before I woke up. Oh! well maybe the next time. Hugs, Lynda

Lynda! Maybe you can start at that point where you left off in a future dream! Chele

Maybe, the funny part is I would have rather been in the trailer with Kyle Petty, I think he is HOTTTT! Maybe the next time I can visit his. I maybe old but I am not dead. Hugs, Lynda

Oh! and I would probley have to teach Dale Jr. a few things, I think Kyle already knows everything, it would be nice to find out just what he knows in my dream. SMILE!!!!

Oh my gosh Renee, that's a freaky dream! I had to re-read your post twice lol!

I thought I was the wierd one! I have been dreaming a lot, too. Mostly about men from my past -- the sexual kind of dreams. Really strange because the dreams aren't even necessarily about men I've been with, some are just old friends. I feel bad for my husband, I haven't been dreaming about him. But I asked my best friend what she thought -- she is very insightful -- and she said that she feels that since I have just gone through such a drastic change that I may subconsiously be reevaluating my past history with people and men and it is playing out in my head. Kinda makes sense b/c in the last dream I had (which involved a man who was in my life for many years -- off and on) I was laying under the covers and holding them very tightly against my stomach. My legs were exposed, my shoulders and head and even back and rear, but not my stomach. In the dream I was concentrating on covering the "loose skin" as he climbed into bed with me. Hmm. Interesting. I wonder if there is a chemical thing or hormonal thing which can account for these dreams we are experiencing? Emily
