nightmares Posted: 04-20-04 01:36am


I know this sounds silly, I just want to know your opinions. I haven't had nightmares since I was very young. But lately i've been having some really bad nightmares. So bad I have a hard time getting my self to sleep at night. I'm mexican and we folks have a lot of myths/beliefs in our family. So my mom thinks it's because of my pregnancy (never had with my first). What's wired about my dreams is that I have the same one all the time. In very gruesome detail. It's about a girl that people believed she died by drowning, but she actually killed herself. And i'm the only one that knows how she did it. It's very sick. I see her house and through the dream and watch her as she kills her self in her own home. I could tell you some detail, but it's gross and long. Anyway, my aunt thinks my dream has to do with real life. To be honest with you I never been so terrified with anything until i've been having these dreams. Has anyone experienced nightmares while going through pregnancy?

I never even used to have dreams (or at least that I can remember) but ever since ive been pregnant ive been having nightmares like every night... So real and vivid that it scares the crap out of me and I sit up fast and wake up when I jerk up like that. But I guess kevin says sometimes I will just sit up in my sleep and he will ask me whats wrong and I dont answer him and then I lay back down after a little bit. Dont worry, your not alone with this, and they are just dreams. Ive been having the same dreams too... Or if I wake up in the middle of it and I go back to sleep the dream will continue and there is no gettin away from it.

I don't remember reading that you were pregnant again. When are you do? I do believe that it is the pregnancy that is causing you to dream. I have the weirdest dreams all the time. Brenda

Hey girl, I have them too. I didnt really have them before but now I have dreams all the time and they feel so real. I had one that I was partying with demons and stuff. And this one I cant get out of my head...I was with my cousins and we were at the gas station in 2 cars so we were filling up my tank and all of a sudden some hoochies take off in my sisters car, so we were like oh hell no! So we chased them and they stopped in front of some cars, so I sped and ramed right into them and I felt the hit too, so these guys get out of other cars with guns and knives and come after us so we were like oh crap, so I get in my car and my cousins get in too, but one guy has this big axe kinda knife and cuts my leg, so I punch reverse and take off and I slide the knife to my cousin to my right and this other guy got in the back seat and was telling me where to drive so I was but then he pulled my shirt over my head trying to make me crash and my cousin gets the big knife and cuts his head off! So we push him off the car and I keep driving and the guys are still chasing us and then...I woke up. Hehe it felt so real!!! But I had a nightmare right before that one and they wake me up! I think its the raging hormones we have right now that trick our mind. So dont worry about the dreams, what I do is think really happy thoughts when im trying to go back to bed and my dreams are fine.

Hey Posted: 04-20-04 02:51am


Wow, nikki. Intresting dream! Lol i have wierd/bad dreams also and I am not preggy. Of course a lot of my dreams are connected with my anxiety since my sis's death. I dream of murders and well, while we're talking about sick dreams....... This one makes me cry....It's one I had a few weeks ago: i dreamed that me, my 4 yr. Old niece, my lil bro, and my lil sis went to stay at my brother's house for a night. Well, this guy breaks in and then takes off running and stuff.....So I lock the door and put the kids in one room....My brother isn't home.....Just me and all the kids......Well, I put them all in one room to keep them safely together ya know and the phone is dead so I can't call 911. Well, i'm watching at the window for that guy to come back and I hear a gun shot so I go into the room where the kids are and my niece is falling on the bed, like she was hangin gout the window and she's falling back in the bed and my sis and bro are sitting there looking at me with blood smeared all over their faces and my niece say's "chanda" and starts crying....He shot her like in the back/butt.... Anyway, I woke up at this moment.... Oh well, it makes me cry and to this day bothers me a whole lot..... caca, i'm crying now.......I have bad dreams and I hate it.........
