Anyone else having weird dreams?

Im approximately 13wks (scan on Monday :D) and for the last week or so I've been having odd, obsessive dreams about babies! For instance last night I dreamed I went for my scan, which was in full colour and looked like a full term baby, and was told it was a any even though I feel my baby is a girl. Then on the way out I realised I didnt have any scan photos so I ran back in and was told to sit and wait and see if i could have another quick scan. At some point during the wait my ds turned into Freddie Star! I can't remember too much more of the dream but they're starting freak me out a bit lol. Anyone else experienced similar?

Oh, so glad it's not just me Cookie.

Had very odd dreams about having 5 babies last night (had 5 golf-sized moving lumps on my bump (no bump yet as approx 10 weeks).

Had two boy babies (the others were alien types) named by others as Stephen and Robert so I would announce them as Baby A and B instead.

Much more weirdness that I have since forgotten and this is not the first time I've had odd baby dreams (sometimes baby is the size of a tadpole and I keep losing it).

Would be interested to hear if others are 'blessed' with this!

I have very weird dreams but they don't involve babies, which I suppose makes them even weirder! The other night I dreamt I went to the moon with a few other people, some of whom didn't even have space suits on (but were fine Confused) and I just felt cold and rather unimpressed. I had batshit crazy dreams when pg with DS too probably something to do with the hormones.

I have said this on mn before but I had very regular filthy dreams about Peter Jones from Dragons Den for the whole 9 months! Stopped as soon as I had ds, ttc again and I hope next time they are about someone gorgeous and not Peter!

Interestingly a couple of the mums-to-be on another thread in the last 2 weeks of pregnancy have mentioned having the dreams about miniature baby and fear of losing him in the bed! I'm 38+5 now and getting vivid dreams every night - they were about labour for a while (I guess that might be on my mind!) but also some unpleasant ones about arguing with dh.

I'm having a filthy, reoccurring dream about one of my DC's female teachers - now I can't look her in the eye Blush

Well, tonight bought a dream including a very filthy, passionate affair with an old colleague (who I never really saw eye to eye with).

Shocked myself!

I think you guys sharing filthy dreams has impacted on me as instead of babies last night i had a filthy dream too! Don't worry it retained the weirdness factor by including a trek up the amazon river but also included a lot of people from my past including 2 ex's one of whom i clearly remember getting down n dirty with!

I wish I would have filthy dreams instead of stupid ones about going the moon and having to catch criminals :(

Yes crazy dreams here too but rarely dream I'm pregnant. Usually I wake up and remember!

I had a dream last night that I woke up and was giving birth. The baby just popped out and I was thinking "can't believe people make such a fuss about giving birth" Confused

21+3 here and had my first filthy dream last night. Like inherently mind was also about a lady, but luckily I think she was pure fiction.

For some reason I was auditioning ladies for the lead role in the taming of the shrew (no idea why, have never worked in or around the theatre), and I seem to recall a 4 poster bed! [Blush] I don't know quite what to make of this - I blush if dp so much as punches my bottom!

Still, it beats the work related nightmare I had on tuesday night. Also I've found that whenever I wake up after a particularly vivid dream I am able to feel LOTS of movement, which always makes me smile Smile

Blimey I wish I had nice dreams. I've had none about dp buggering off with another woman and the other is possibly best not mentioned as I woke in tears. It was so bizarre it couldn't be true but I felt dreadful after and it involved my beloved spaniel :-(

Good point memphis. A filthy dream with Peter Jones in his stripey socks is more a nightmare really. Still, the dreams about fighting and alien invasion using only a pistol aren't much better. Sigh.

Blush Purple I don't know what to say! I'm blaming the error on my phone Grin

Cailin I thought that I was missing out on a yet another part of pregnancy by not having dirty dreams. Now DP is sayin that he "always knew" I was a secret lesbian and Memphis has suffered a real atrocity. Though highly entertaining, these dreams aren't all they're cracked up to be!
