Having some really disturbing nightmares lately

[frillsandstuff]

I don’t know what is behind them, I don’t think I believe in a hidden meaning in dreams but there must be something behind the frequency of them.
Last night I dreamt about my dad passing and trying to find someone to give the Christmas presents I’d bought him which makes me sad because why was that the most prevalent part of losing him.
At the very end of the dream the man wasn’t my dad anymore suddenly it was my husband that was dead and I was thinking how sad that he won’t see the only one of our children that look like him grow up which again is such a bizarre take and I don’t understand why I’m having such unusual nightmares all of a sudden.

No massive change in life, not feeling particularly stressed, sleeping well other than worrying about having nightmares.

Have you put a warmer quilt on ?

I’ve not suffered from nightmares in the past

No I haven’t changed out quilt

I get nightmares when too hot, or when I have a bug - even a light cold , when I sleep on my back , when I am over tired

if yiu are having repeated ones, like you say it bothers you - I always find trying to sleep on my other side helps, as does having a ready made story in your head - tell yourself pride and prejudice or whatever as you drift off or whenever you wake up
