Worst nightmare ever!!

It's pretty ironic I see this thread. I've been up since 5:33AM, it is now 7:39AM, I had a pretty bad dream. The kind of dream that you wake up shaking and crying. I don't usually have such bad dreams but the feelings I got from it were so strong I just lost it. It may sound silly to some but I think describing it here may help me a little and get back to sleep.

In my dream, some man I didn't know, had never met or seen in my entire life had somehow gotten my email and cell # and kept messaging me. I was talking to them trying to figure out who they were.. (I think the man in this dream is recurring because I remember other dreams talking to someone I don't know). Well the man found out where I used to live and I was talking with him. I cannot remember our convo but I do remember his saying "I heard a weird noise.." I didn't find out what he heard but what I thought he might have heard..

We were outside working on our cars I think when he pulled out a pink tote bag and set it aside. I guess it was in my way so I moved it, but there was something inside, it felt like a body. That's where this dream became intense. Inside there were towels and something wrapped up. I removed one of the towels to see a cats black foot with white on the toe. I instantly remembered him mentioning the weird noise and I started to freak because the foot belongs to my cat Sassy. I started crying and saw one of our other cats Bonny and I said "Please Bonny, don't let it be Sassy."

I pulled out the towel wrapped body bawling and unwrapped it. There was Sassy, he was alive. I know I should be happy about that but the look in his eyes. They were dark and afraid... That's when I woke up.

The thing that bothered me now was how I felt when I found the bag and realized what was in it. The pain and fear was so real...

As I sit and think about it, it reminds me of something that actually happened in my life. My uncle was getting ready to leave in my Grandpa's truck. Our cat Pearl liked to lay on the top of the tires.. he backed out and we think he hit Pearl. He heard a weird noise too... and later we found him barely moving. We knew it was close to the end and I was holding him, wrapped in a towel. I was crying so hard as he died in my arms.

It just feels so spooky.. I don't think I'm going back to bed. Sorry for the long post I just had to get it out... :'(

Melatonin supplement pills. Take 1 about 30 minutes before bed time. You'll get some crazy dreams and a deeper sleep.

Oh yah forgot about the melatonin supplements. My cousin takes them in little strips that dissolve on your tongue. I tried them for my insomnia but they never worked.

Ok, so what is it with weird dreams recently ?

Yesterday I had another one of my awful stress headaches. I took my prescribed pain medication, but it didn't help, not so unusual. Anyhow I went and laid down seeking relief, and while I don't remember solidly going to sleep, I do remember dreaming. Now, I'm not going into the private details on this family forum, but I will say it involved my husband and I and our room past bedtime. It was getting a little odd, he was behind me and was rubbing my shoulders and I felt something cold touch my back. Cold and hard and sharp. I don't think I need to tell you what it was. I got a little bit scared, but excited as well. [ I know I'm weird, but he's my hubby and that's safe, right ?] Then he told me he was tired of other guys looking at me { which is hilarious since I'm 50 pounds overweight but dreams are dreams } and he was going to make sure they knew who I belonged to. I got smart and asked, "What are you going to do, brand me ?" and then my heart flip flopped when he said yes. Then there was this incredible searing pain in my right side, just over my kidney in the back. I was trying not to scream and he was holding me so hard it hurt and I could hear this disgusting sizzling sound. I woke myself up with my teeth clamped around a scream.

Now this is where it gets weird. I could FEEL the brand on my back. I don't mean maybe. There was a sharp, hot pain and I could feel it throbbing and I was sweating. It hurt so badly, and in this one tiny spot, I actually had to get out of bed and go in the bathroom and check to make sure there was no mark. It actually hurt off and on all evening yesterday and right up until I went to bed. Just this tiny spot of heat and pain right where I was branded in my dream. It really kind of freaked me out, but I have been known to hallucinate after taking my medication, so I blame it on that.

Melatonin :

Melatonin is a hormone secreted by the pineal gland in the brain. It helps regulate other hormones and maintains the body's circadian rhythm. The circadian rhythm is an internal 24-hour “clock� that plays a critical role in when we fall asleep and when we wake up. When it is dark, your body produces more melatonin; when it is light, the production of melatonin drops. Being exposed to bright lights in the evening or too little light during the day can disrupt the body' s normal melatonin cycles.

I've dreamt more than once that my male, Chrispy, comes down from around my shoulders and turns into a dragon. Then he flies around and lets me ride his back.

Yes. You can get them at any pharmacy. Even Walmart. By nature, I am a night owl. So I take them so I go to bed at a normal time.

i get the same nightmare over an over again. Its always the same dream of when I was invovled in a bad car accident but how it plays out is always different. The worse one was the hummer rolling into the water an not being able to get out. I seriously thought i was under water an when i jumped outta bed i was covered in sweat. That is when i do sleep which is rare now
