Do you dream lots?

I seem to dream quite alot at the moment. I have always dreamt but it has been less in recent years (young kids)

I often dream about people I've never met and I wake up feeling like I made a new friend (hahaha)

Last night I was dreaming I was in a hospital wing. With two other people. We were all just talking and laughing. One was a lady about 15 years older and one was a lad in his 20s. We got out the hospital in the end because we were walking around the streets (weird lol) but when I woke up this morning I felt lifted.

Last week I had a dream I had to pick my DD up from school. It was a normal day without coronavirus. But I left to walk the mile 5 minutes before she was due to come out. It was getting dark and I kept forgetting things and having to go home again.

I have dreamt many times over the years about going back to school. Only in the dream I'm always late or worried because I don't know where I am supposed to go. I often meet old friends and it makes me again feel happy when I wake up for a few hours.

I think tbh I'm feeling lost now. Missing people and ive not been feeling myself lately. So I wonder if the dream last night was me helping myself feel happier again.

Does anyone else seem to dream loads?

Yes! The last couple of weeks I’ve had odd dreams every night. It’s been years before that since I woke up remembering a dream. I feel strangely comforted by the dreams even though they don’t make much sense.

Isn't it funny. I feel strange writing it. But I feel happy and free in my dreams. I wonder if it's just an escape. What sort of things do you dream?

It’s hard to say. They’re kind of jumbled. Just normal life (the old normal, not the new one!) but with something a bit “off”: trying to get somewhere, being with someone strange/odd who I’ve known forever and am close to in the dream, being lost, looking for something, some sort of challenge. The sort of dream that ought be mildly unsettling but they’re actually really comforting!

Yes that sounds like mine. It must be us trying to settle and clear our minds

Can't see my friend or family so invented some lol

I do dream intensely anyway, but I'm having some real doozies right now.

I was standing nearby as a heavily pregnant woman died, and insisted they perform a CS to get the baby. So so vivid and detailed...

People walking sheep on leads, some off lead, some wearing tank tops.

A castle/locked room scenario.

Just on and on, and I don't feel at all rested afterwards- in fact I'm ready for a nap!

I always dream of an ex boyfriend, we were together about 2 years!
I loved him ( well I think I did) he was absolutely gorgeous looking and sex was out of this world,

He broke my heart tho, went in town one morning, had a bit of a tiff before I went, came back he had moved out back to his mums!
I was heartbroken lost 2 stone in weight, he came back 2 weeks later, spent a few days together then he left again!

28 years later I'm with someone new have been for the last 25 years, and he's on his second marriage ,

Oh we did bump into each other about 21 years ago and said he still love me but I was now leaving the pub, we hugged then I went.

But he sometimes pop up in my dream and I dnt know why???

Riv, unresolved relationship. At some level you can't rationalise what went wrong.

I used to dream I'd bumped into an ex and had hot passionate sex. Really used to worry me, as I was married to someone else!

Thank you so much for your reply.
I think of him often, yeah I dnt understand why we finished, as he always said he loved me.

I was 3 years older than him, with 2 young children.
I think he changed me for the better to be honest, he had good morals, I was in a bit of a rut when we met.
He got me driving etc made me a better person.
I found his twitter account the other day.
I think oooooh I'm one moment away from messaging him!!
But something always hold me back.
Plus I'm with someone else now.
I would love to know if he still think of me, what difference would it make 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

I always have mad dreams. Last night I dreamed that the Government gave me £1553 as compensation for my recent working conditions!!
