I used to have a recurring dream/nightmare, not every night but certainly a few times a week. I would be stuck on top of a tall building, on a ledge, absolutely petrified I was going to fall, the fear was so overwhelming and real, I was terrified and would be clinging on to anything to stop me falling off. The dream would end abruptly with me still on the ledge, but I would suddenly be awake.

During this time I was going through failed fertility treatments, ivf/clomid and a miscarriage from the ivf, I was so desperately wanting to be pregnant. I remember having this dream for the last time, I was up on the ledge of a tall building and I realised there was a way down, it was a simple as getting up and stepping down on to another ledge, before I knew it I was at the bottom of the building. The next day after this dream I found out I was pregnant, I never had this dream again.

How fucking weird is that?!

I'm so glad things worked out so happily for you - awake and asleep!

I used to have a similar dream when I was striving to succeed in a career that didn't make me happy. I'd be climbing a tower and would get to an overhang - the terror of climbing out over that sticky out bit would wake me night after night.

Eventually I gave up the career and retrained in another I love. I never had the dream again.

Our subconscious tells us something for sure.
