I am, I am, I need to confess.....

[psychomum5]

......I am a bad bad unreasonable wife

bad dreams during the night. I dreamt very vividly that bugs were flying around my head and I was trying to get them and kill them....only then they all fell in the bed.

I leapt out, whacked hell out of the bed, then realised when whacking DH that I was dreaming, and it was 5am.



thing is, I laughed, I was not sorry, and I didn;t apologise, and he has been nursing me while poorly.

if this were him, I would be on here right now having a good old moan, and you would all be agreeing with me and telling me good things to retaliate.

you need to tell me off now.....I can take it.

or at least, make me feel better and tell me how vivid you dreams are

[LaurieFairyCake]

I slapped dh in the face cos he was cheating on me in my dream

Weirdly, I was still irrationally pissed off with him the next day (subconscious is a powerful animal)

DH teaches in his sleep. Every week he tells me to "sit down, shut up" BE QUIET.

PMSL at this thread...

When ever I am upset or worried about something I often sleepwalk... My dad used to sit up and wait for me as once I walked out the house and slept on my neighbours drive....

[moodylou]

My brother's girlfriend once woke up to hear him shouting "watch out, they're coming through the window". He then rolled out of bed onto the floor, took aim at the window, using his finger as a gun and started making machine gun noises until he was satisfied he had killed them

He'd spent all day playing war games on the computer though so i think that might have had something to do with it!

[Jux]

We had some relatives staying. The room they were had an old flowery rug on the floor. They woke up in the middle of the night to discover my younger bro (then about 5) weeing on the rug, muttering about watering the flowers.

[saintmaybe]

When i was about 14, and veggie, I had a disgusting dream that I was eating chicken out of a bin.

Chicken bones all over the kitchen floor next morning

[QOD]

My friends husband shouts
"RORY RAT ROOOOOOO" regularly, no idea what he means

My dh has punched me, elbowed me, ripped the covers off screaming about spiders, all sorts.
I sleep like a cherub
LOL
Although once my dd came in my room in the night and woke me, I got all tearful like a kid and said I wanted a wee wee and didn't know where the toilet was. She had to take me by the hand to the loo and pass me tissue paper etc then take me back to bed. She put herself back to bed too LOL

[PersonalClown]

Dp does this too!! So glad it's vaguely normal!!

His piece de resitance is still sitting bolt upright in bed and with a dismissive wave of the hand said 'FFS if the girl wants pancakes, let her have pancakes'
Wasn't even Shrove Tuesday!

[LolaTheShowgirl]

I once had 2 girl friends staying over in mine and DP's bed while he was abroad (he's an ex now...). So we were all asleep and all was well til I wrapped my arms round one of the girls. She pushed off my arms and I got all mad shouting "what the fk are you doing that for, Thomas, are you seeing someone else, you fk-ing rat?"

Poor Lizzie! Still, they both had a laugh at my expense!

Another time I was sleeping in bed with said ex and I bolted upright shouting "he's here, Jesus is here! Bloody nora, he's actually come!"

[psychomum5]

QOD, was he a 'roland rat' fan by any chance.....

[sweetnitanitro]

pmsl, this thread is hilarious

I once had a dream that DH was having an affair with one of my mates and when I woke up I told him to fk off and thumped him

I also had a full conversation with him (him awake, me asleep) about microphone stands and got really annoyed when the conversation woke me up- he thought I was awake anyway.

[psychomum5]

come ON people, we need somethin to laugh at this week!!!



I am soooo loving you all for proving that I am not the only insane MNer that attacks their partners/husbands in their sleep

[slushy06]

I am a violent sleeper to I talk and sleepwalk so I quite often attack dp.

However one night I got so drunk and passed out on the bed. Now as I walk I quite often get up and go to the toilet while asleep however this night my drunken state left me beliving my dp chest of drawers was the toilet.

Apparently I tooted down over his sock drawer and took a pee. My dp took no notice as he assumed he must of been dreaming.

The next morning I was awoken to dp screaming holding a pair of soggy socks. I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. To make up for it though I had drunk enough to be ill for a week . I have not drunk since.

[NotmyELFtoday]

I sleep talk a lot. I often have dreams about work, so talk about the tasks. When I worked in a cash and carry, I used to annoy DH all the time telling him that I had ten pound coins and I was going to put them in the safe etc

I had a particularly long week, and was very tired one Friday. DD fell out of bed, and I was woried she had hurt her head. I was sort of half asleep, half awake, and knew DH had picked DD up to bring her to our bed. So I fell asleep, back to my dream about work, but was in the back of my mind panicking that DD had hit her head. So I tried to ask DH if DD had hit her head, but, as I was thinking about work, kept saying I was worried because DD was balancing. He didn't get it, so I kept trying to get the sentence out, but kept coming out with random sentences such as "when DD fell, were the debits and credits both right". Still half asleep, I tried to tell him the fundamendals of double entry book keeping. And yelling "you dont care about whether she balances"

DH was most unimpressed. Had a moan at me in the morning. All I wanted to know was whether she'd hit her head...

[SoupDragon]

In order to bump this for amusement on a Monday morning there is the tale of H (then bf) coming in very drunk after some football do. I woke up to the sound of him leaving the flat - I thought he'd gone to throw up in the garden (not sure why - I don't think I was quite awake). Anyway, when he finally surfaced the next morning, I asked where he'd gone. He looked at me, confused, and then in horror as his vivid dream of urinating came back to him. Sure enough, out in the communal hallway was a huge puddle.

Shortly after, the chair of the residents association came to chat about increasing security on the main door because some tramp had clearly been coming in to the communal hall...

[psychomum5]

oh god, that is so funny, in such a gross way.....

[SoupDragon]

Apparently he once did it to a previous gf's pile of clothes too.

[wotulookinat]

Such a funny thread! DH regularly yells in his sleep as he is being chased by vultures I just hope that's not a metaphor for our relationship!

[psychomum5]

see, and the clue lies in the previous....!!!

vultures, seriously?? not that I can talk....bats fly out of the ceiling in my dreams, massive huge bats, and fly away after grabbing my children.

oh, and the witch who removes all the eyeballs from all the children in the whole world.

and the vikings coming and stealing any redhaired children.....

I am just weird.

and should probably shut up now

[wotulookinat]

psychomum, you are starting to liv eup to your name

[psychomum5]

well, someone has to

[strawberryplanter]

At uni my bf had a late night then had an exam in the morning. He woke with a start pretty early the next morning and was crawling about on the floor, moaning and looking under the bed.

It turned out he'd thought the minute hand of the alarm clock had fallen off and he was trying to find it! (it was 6.30am)

[Sycamoretreeisvile]

Oh Psycho! You're OP really struck a chord.

There is a name for this type of dream - I must look it up.

I get them very occasionally. They also involve animals of some sort. They are always INCREDIBLY vivid, in that they happen as though in real time, in the bedroom, with me lying down as though asleep, just as you describe.

The worst was that some huge goose had flown in through the window, low flown right over my face. I leapt out of bed with such force that I collided into the TV which was (in our old house) on a low table at least 3 foot away from the end of our double bed. I really bruised my ribs. My heart nearly burst I was so frightened!

Others involve spiders coming down from the ceiling, or like you, bugs. I'm convinced I have my eyes open whilst I'm dreaming....the fear is like nothing else and my body always reacts in a very literal way.

My DH would sympathise with yours lol!

[psychomum5]

there is a name

oooh, joy, I can use it to protect myself from accusations of trying to kill him...I am not, I suffer something real!!

[AprilMeadow]

OMG i am laughing so much at this thread
Brilliant!!

[MumtoCharlieandLola]

My dad woke my mum up one night saying 'theres a mouse in the bed', my mam told him he was dreaming and to shut up and go back to sleep.

My dad insisted so they put the light on and lifted the duvet and there was a mouse sitting looking at them under the duvet !!!!

My dad grabbed it and threw it out of the window, it was dead the next morning (sorry mouse lovers)

He also dreams he is being chased by giant bees, but that is just my mum snoring - she gets banished to the back bedroom now
