Strange dreams.

[Adamj]

I've been having really weird strange dreams idk if this happens to anyone else but leave me explain. Like I go to bed listening to music and I'll be like asleep and still hearing it and then it wakes me up and I get all scared. Then I have to tried the music off. Then my dreams will be so vivid that it's like I can control everything. And the dreams make no sense at all or they're about what gives me anxiety then I'll wake up in the middle of the night scared and thinking I'm gonna die. I'm not on any medication but it gets worse sometimes if I've had an anxious day. And somehow I still seem to get like 8 hours of sleep every night. Anyone else have these things happen? They're kinda scary idk

H Adamj, dreams whether strange or pleasant are just that "dreams". A manifestation of our thoughts and fears of the day. When we sleep our brain takes over with dreams of all sorts. Since it's not medication prone, it's the anxious day you experienced bringing it to a head when you are trying to relax and sleep. They don't have to be scary if you write it off as that.

It's great that you have realised the correlation between an anxious day and worse dreams. That means that if you work on destressing and minimising your anxiety in the day the dreams will lessen in intensity.

You are certainly not alone in having scary dreams, there is a way through this.
