To be completely freaked out by this dream?

[babybrain77]

Would appreciate MN advice/perspective!

DH and I married earlier this year and have a honeymoon baby on the way. Very happy together, love him to bits. Our relationship is great, he's my best friend (as cliched as that sounds) and is the kindest, most loyal man I could ever hope for. The one thing we don't really have is the 'rip your clothes off' chemistry, although the sex is good (he has a pretty low sex drive - after the first year or so we settled into having sex about once every 2 weeks).

Last night I had a dream about an old flame. It was a bizarrely vivid dream (I've had some of these since getting pregnant). This guy was an on again off again relationship in my life, but never really a proper relationship. He's the only guy I have been with who I liked significantly more than he liked me. The sex was amazing, but everything else about him made me feel completely insecure.

So I have woken up this morning completely freaked out by this dream, thinking 'omg my subconscious brain is telling me there is something missing in my relationship' and wondering if I've missed the 'love of my life' with this old flame (ridiculous I know).

Please tell me this is a weird baby brain issue and not that I've married the wrong guy!

Sorry - monster post!

Forget it. I once dreamt I was in a lesbian relationship with my sister (even in the dream I was thinking WTF). I don't believe all dreams are revealing hidden truths - more often just bonkers or weird shit.

Thanks - I think yours wins on the weird scale!

ahhhh give it time, it'll be giving birth to catcuses wrapped up in tin foil and christmas paper next.

I dreamt some freaky dreams when pregnant.

@MsHomeSlice hahaha I am completely dreading the childbirth dreams. My first reaction is 'cactuses wrapped in tin foil - at least I know that one can't be true'...but the reality is probably even worse!

Oh God, i'd forgotten the weird 'wtf am i giving birth to' dreams. Pregnancy dreams are really weird!
Pre menstrually, i also have amazing erotic dreams about past lovers. Its how i know my period is about to start.

I dreamt last night my husband was my y6 teacher and I was saying to him "well this is a bit weird you'll be listening to me read at school then coming home having sex with me@!!@"
Now that's a weird dream.

Currently pregnant, recently dreamt I had mind blowing sex with Don Draper. It. Was. Epic. Reckon it's just your hormones, no subconscious messages...

When I was pregnant , I had a dream I was pregnant and was completely freaking out when I woke I was thinking Jesus that was weird I'm not pregnant ,que major freak out because I was massively pregnant . It was like inception . The dreams are intense

@Kezebel
Lucky you!

Once when I was being weaned off anti-depressants (with poor results) I dreamed that I had sex with my old, unattractive, homosexual boss who didn't even have a good personality.

I wouldn't read too much into your dream especially with pregnancy hormones affecting you.

Ohhhh those vivid pregnancy hormone dreams. When I was pregnant, I dreamt that my ex (similar sounding to your ex) turned up and said he knew the babies (twins) were his and I was panicking about I was going to tell my DH. Ex lived in Australia and I had not seen or spoken to him in 4 years.

You have married the right guy. It's not cheating to flick through the memory album and smile once in while.

Good luck OP.

I dreamt that DP had an affair with a friend/acquaintance. Was very vivid and involved - they were caught, promised to end it then were caught again. I found myself being a bit short & offhand when I next encountered friend\acquaintance...

babybrain...they will OF COURSE be BABYcatcuses and nobody else in the dream will be the slightest bit perturbed

and then the volcanic heartburn will set in. :o

There see, you have stopped worrying about that dream of your old flame now haven't you?
