anyone else having really vivid bad dreams?

[sotough]

i am having so many nightmares at the moment. is this a pregnancy hormone thing or something about my anxious emotional state?! i'm 15 weeks pregnant now, after four first trimester miscarriages, and having all sorts of horrible violent dreams every night, mostly not about miscarriages.

Yes, it's your hormones ... I have have had really horrible nightmares throughout, I am now 31 weeks

Yep, vivid dreams are typical in pregnancy, including sexy ones!

Yep, its a pregnancy thing.

I had horrific dreams for the first 16 weeks or so, really terrible. Would wake up crying and feel shaken all day sometimes. It did stop though and now at 40 weeks my dreams are still more vivid but they are generally benign.

I had extremely vivid dreams as well, particularly about my DH cheating on me which rendered me in tears most mornings! (He's not, by the way..)

They wear off, plus it sounds daft but after a little while you learn to wake up and tell yourself to forget about it and distract yourself from thinking about them.

I have been having very vivid dreams but mot really any nightmares. Had the best one ever last night about me and Gary Barlow, OMG!!! Still thinking about it now, its making me weak at the knees. Think I will leave DH for him. I'm sure he'll have me if I turn up on his doorstep!! Also in the dream were various other celebs who turned up at our village fair and were snorting coke(needless to say, Gary was not one of those!) Will shut up now....but I love him!!

thanks. not all of them are violent: i'm getting an old "favourite" almost every week at the moment. I dream that i've got a major exam coming up in a few days, for which I am suposed to have read a really challenging/obscure book, and now it's too late to do it. In my dream i looked at the book months previously and decided I couldn't face reading it or lost it, and then forgot about it till it was too late. The dream was so vivid last night that i woke up convinced it must be real and spent some time thinking about whether i had failed to read a book i was supposed to have read, and if so, what on earth was it?
Incidentally i haven't sat an exam for a good ten years, so WTF is that all about?!
