You don't always remember your dreams

[Silver]

But when you do, share them here.

This morning, upon an index finger pressure point applied to my lower back, a supposed doctor diagnosed me with possible cancer.

Dreamt we came home and our sitting room was full of badgers. Didn't seem strange during the dream, but waking up was a wtf moment.

Two nights ago I had a nightmare that I was still at work and responsible for publishing a report about a new concept that I had no understanding of. Probably the mushrooms in the soup we had for dinner. Woke up sweating.

I dreamt I was asleep at work and trying to wake myself up. Pinching my arm, splashing water on my face. Finally I tried opening my eyes with my fingers. That 'worked', I dreamt I woke up from sleeping at work.

When I was pretty young I had a recurring nightmare that is still so vivid. I was probably 7-9 when this was happening regularly. It was so bad that I would wake up convinced there was a skunk on one side of me and a snake on the other side. If I was to move...well, you know...I would either get sprayed or bitten or both. I would lay as still as I could and try to move my eyes enough to see if they were still there. Sometimes this would go on for an hour.

If Freud were to analyze it, I think he would say that one represented my mother and the other my father.

These days I seldom remember dreams but when I do they are never pleasant ones.

My current mental struggles combined with insomnia have kept me from a full sleep for some time

[Tonus]

I almost never remember my dreams. I might occasionally remember the end of a dream when I wake up, but a moment later it's gone. The better sleep I get, the more likely I am to remember that I dreamed at all. Most nights I get enough sleep, but I wake up two or three times and I don't think I get a lot of really deep sleep.

I haven't had a nightmare since I was a young child, and the only one I remember wasn't really a nightmare... more like a jump scare.

I typically don't remember details but know most involve anxiety at some level.

This morning I kept falling asleep and waking up over and over. I needed to put stocking stuffers in bags today, but I was worried that the bags I had purchased weren't large enough. I had some large cloth Santa sacks from previous Christmases in storage, so I had a backup plan, but I kept dreaming that something was wrong with the Santa sacks each time I fell back asleep. Either I couldn't find them, or moths had eaten them, or I had only kept two instead of three, or something equally problematic. I finally got up for good and checked the bags which I had bought, and indeed they were too small. I found the Santa sacks, and they hadn't been eaten by moths or anything, but I still had hopes of getting paper Christmas-themed bags, particularly because I'd used the Santa sacks before and didn't want to repeat myself. So I check the weather. It's raining. Check the radar map and it's only going to get worse. So I grabbed my umbrella, cart, and stuff to protect any Christmas bags from the rain and headed to the dollar store. I got to the dollar store and all the Christmas stuff was gone, replaced by Valentine's Day stuff. Crestfallen, I shuffled over to Target with slim hopes. I came to the last aisle of the Christmas remnants, and there they had Santa-themed jumbo paper gift bags! I was so lucky. But the morning nightmares were a real damper this morning.
