Ugh those horrible vivid dreams that stay with you all day…

Slept like a log for a change last night and had the most awful, vivid dream of a HUGE rolling fire that moved across the land, I was in a local cafe meeting a friend and we survived despite the fire being all around us. I couldnt get home, I managed to speak to my daughter and she said the fire had just caught the edge of our house but they were ok. The friend offered to help me walk home but the roads were gone, just twisted tree limbs and rocks / debris everywhere.

The weather patterns had changed following this and myself and my work colleague had a machine that we could set the weather to but it would be permanent. We disagreed as she wanted constant hot weather and I wanted ‘spring’.

Then It was back to friend in cafe and a few years later, she was very melancholic as she felt she’d missed out on a few years of her daughter growing up due to this disaster, she couldn’t write in her baby book from that day onwards.

I woke up feeling really unsettled and the dream was so vivid I’m thinking of it all the time. I bloody hate it when this happens. I’ll think of it alll day now!

I've got one like this. Had a nightmare at 17 years old and to this day I get flashes of it. I'm 38 btw😅 It wasn't the images so much as the atmosphere that was terrifying if that makes sense.

Ohhh I know what you mean. I had a vivid dream years ago. I was walking through my parents home, when I noticed a mirror on the windowsill. I thought, hmm that’s new so went for a better look. There was a man’s reflection in it, creepy, grimacing and then he came out of the mirror and stabbed me and I woke up. Never died in a dream before or since, blood ran cold. Awful.

I’m sure I read that you should close your eyes, go back to the dream and find a solution. Find out how the fire started and stop it, or get the choppers and hoses out, or huge rainstorm OP. Be the hero haha!

I had a dream a couple of years ago in which DP and I had split up. We got back together a couple of months later. But then a few months down the line, a woman he'd had a fling with whilst we were separated turned up at the house. With a baby. I was so upset with him for a couple of days. 😂

I dreamt that I was 'with' Donald Trump last night. A sex worker had just been interviewed on television and had had a huge rant about him and the things they had to do with him (because he was an old man and couldn't get/keep an erection and they found him physically disgusting) and Trump was very upset and was asking me for reassurance that the woman was lying/insane/not talking about him. I was trying to tell him, diplomatically, that women who are with somebody for money don't necessarily get turned on by them but that didn't mean that other women didn't. All the whole thinking that I couldn't imagine that there would be any woman out there that would get turned on by him if not for money, power etc.

I find Trump physically and mentally repulsive, so this is a dream I have been struggling to forget.

I have a recurrent dream that I fail to submit an assignment at University. I finished my undergraduate degree in 1979🙁
