Just posting to see if anyone has experienced something similar.
This is really starting to piss me off.
The week or so I have been having the most vivid, easy to recall, specifically upsetting dreams I've ever had in my life. And they seem (I know they're probably not) sooooo long. They're really detailed and fucking harrowing. And I don't know why it's happening all of a sudden.
I've had ones about having medical procedures where it's gone horrendously wrong, or I had one the other day where I thought I was getting a hair cut but they started operating on me.
I've had a dream about being in the middle of an earthquake on the street where I bought my first house. My mum got "swallowed up" by the earthquake and no one gave a monkeys. I could remember every detail when I woke up and felt so sad when waking up.
I lost my mum 2 years ago. Really fucking upsetting dream to have.
Dreams about physically abusive ex's coming back and me being manipulated. Ones where I've fallen out with my parents and the emotions in the dreams are SO strong. Just exhausting. Every night.
I've got a history like everyone else, it why so horribly specific and why now?
I've just come back from a long haul trip so am a bit jet lagged, but these started when I was still away.
Nothings particularly changed, yes I'm sad about all these things but I've had good therapy and sertraline has been life changing for me. I'm ok at the moment. Had a great holiday and back to work next week.
Has anyone just had a random period of really vivid, upsetting dreams? It's how it's every dream, every night. Fucking horrible.
Just out of the ordinary how much they're affecting me.
Thank you in advance.
