To ask you interpret my dream/nightmare?

On Saturday night I had an awful night of nightmares, one after another. Ghosts, monsters ... you name it. I NEVER have nightmares.

Anyway one particular part of it has stuck with me. I kind of knew I was dreaming and desperately tried to wake up but I couldn’t. I was screaming and shouting but no noise would come out, I was trying so hard to make a sound, screaming at the top of my voice but couldn’t make a sound. I was punching DH (in my dream) trying to get him to wake up and help me but he wouldn’t wake up either. I was in a total state of panic. Eventually I managed to scream out “WAKE UP” but it came out as a whisper and I couldn’t make it any louder.

I can’t get the feeling of it out of my head. The desperation and panic. Am I losing it?

I can imagine that being upsetting. I have really vivid dreams and some really stay with me.

Is there something in real life you feel you can't say/talk about?

You’re very worried and panicked about something! 😃

Is it the new extra contagious strain of COVID?

I wouldn't read to much into it and try to put it out of your mind. I read somewhere that dreams of this type are usually when the sleeper is partially conscious. Something similar to dreams where the individual seemingly wakes but can't communicate or move. Apparently these type of dreams only happen if the person is sleeping on their back. Im not certain how true this is but apparently sewing a pocket a into the back of a night dress and putting a tennis ball in it stops rolling onto back?
Thsse sort of dreams are very frightening and like all dreams could have any number of causes such as anxiety or stress but usually unconsciously connected with what is happening in the sleepers life

I have these kinds of dreams all the time. I have lucid dreams a LOT, sometimes every night. It’s annoying. Don’t read too much into it. The feeling will fade after a while, it was just a dream and it can’t hurt you. I sometimes wake up bolt upright gasping for air after a dream like this and then immediately fall back asleep 😂 Honestly don’t fret. It’s not nice but it happens.
