Scared by bad dream

[RedBedRedemption]

I’m off work at the minute with stress/anxiety.
Last night I dreamt that DH had terminal cancer. It was a lump on his neck. It’s scared the shit out of me because it seemed so real. I’ve had a number of dreams actually happen in real life (like premonitions) and I’m shitting myself that this will be one of them. He has a lot of cancer in his family, he also suffers with health anxiety so of course I’d never mention this dream to him but if he develops a lump on his neck at any point I don’t know how I’ll react. I don’t know why this dream has affected me so much, I suppose it’s made me realise that literally everything I do involves him. I don’t even know why I’m posting to be honest as I know there is nothing anyone can say, I just wondered if anyone else had been shocked/frightened by a dream like this?

Must have been a night for it - i rarely dream, let alone nightmares but last night was a bad one and i woke up in a panic! ...cant remember what it was about now thankfully.

Hugs. Premonitions are not true so don't worry about this being one. We have dreams every night and some of the things we dream about happen in real life just due to random chance - we remember these ones over the ones that don't happen in real life, and that makes us believe in premonition when it is actually just random chance. There is a scientific term for this, but blowed if I can recall it. In short, it was an unpleasant dream, but nothing more
