Anyone else having more and more strange dreams these days?

[Tommy_Carcetti]

All that conscious and subconscious anxiety seems to be manifesting itself at night.

Last night I dreamed that I was looking over the large field that was next to my childhood house and I saw all sorts of tracer-like anti-aircraft fire going off, like what we saw in the Gulf War.

It was somewhat unnerving.

1. I consume so much cannabis that I haven't dreamed in years

[SpankMe]

2. My nightmares started the night of November 2, 2016. Can't explain why... n/t

4. I am in the same boat!

And I have this recurring nightmare that tRump is re-elected in 2020.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

3. Oh, hell, I've been having weird dreams for almost 4 years!

[Initech]

5. I've been getting very little to no sleep lately, so kind of hard to dream.

6. Yeah, I dreamt Donald fucking Trump was President of the USA ...

And there was a pandemic killing people by the 10's of 1000's, and his stupid ass was withholding aide to fight the pandemic to Blue States unless they lick his boots.

It was pretty damn freaky and unnerving

7. You wanted to be in a comfort zone in uncertain times. Maybe that house was a happy time for you. nt

8. Mine aren't really any different from the weird ones I've had all my life.

9. I have been in this long nightmare for quite awhile.

People who should tell the truth lie all the time. People who do tell the truth get in trouble, get fired, threatened with criminal prosecution, receive death threats. Things that should happen don't, things that do happen shouldn't. There are idiots everywhere. Good guys wear masks, bad people don't. Everything I enjoy I cannot go to. It fucking sucks. When I sleep in this dream the weird shit stops, but I keep dreaming I wake up and it is the same shit show again. My hair, beard and nails grow in this nightmare, so it must be a long dream. People are dying in this nightmare and all the TV shows happen from people's homes. The streets are pretty empty in this bad dream. What the fuck is going on?

10. I dreamt I could go out to dinner in a restaurant with my

Friends, do dancing in clubs, take a airplane to visit my daughter, and travel in my camper, paddling my kayak.

11. When I am able to sleep, yes. I have had insomnia for a long time due to chronic pain.

Right now, when I am able to sleep (we got a new mattress right before this so I sleep a bit better), I have horrible dreams.

12. I don't even need to sleep for strange dreams.

Could not have imagined this shitstorm. What hasn't changed is none of us gets out alive.

[Mossfern]

13. I've always had strange dreams

and now I take a medication that has strange dreams as a side effect - so I can't really tell.

14. Last night I dreamed I was in a room with no door.

An office desk with a computer and chair. A table with a finished puzzle of an outdoor scene. A large metal bed frame, but no mattress. Several curtains hanging from the walls, but no windows.

I was busy dismantling everything except the office desk and chair. I had an overwhelming feeling that I was going to take everything I did not need outside to the garbage. For some reason I could not get the puzzle off the table, so I started gathering the pieces of the bed frame together and pulling down curtains.

I woke up while trying to dismantle the table with the puzzle still intact.

15. Now that you mention it...

Last night I dreamed about killing someone in self-defense. Repeated head-bashing was involved, but I succeeded in keeping him from shooting me.I've had periods of nightmares in the past, and I hope this doesn't herald the beginning of another round.

[safeinOhio]

16. Yep, the old

PTSD is kicking in.

[c-rational]

17. In general I have noted an increase in my dreaming, or at least remembering my dreams. Not that

they are partiularly strange, but more dreaming. I mentioned this to my wife a week or so back. Maybe it is related to 'our' time, i.e. not going out, the news etc. At the same time I do not feeel partiularly stressed.

[smirkymonkey]

18. Yes, absolutely.

And now that you mention it, it really seems to have started, oh, around 3 and 1/2 years ago. Not necessarily political dreams, but serious anxiety dreams.

When I can sleep, I often wake up stressed out because I feel like my dreams were so disturbing - not exactly nightmares, but more like every anxiety I have ever had coming to life. Every fear, every insecurity, every neurotic thought just seems to come alive. Not the best way to start the day. I would give anything for a peaceful night's sleep and to wake up refreshed and ready to face the day. Instead, I just want to pull the covers over my head and stay in bed.

19. Does always dreaming about weed count?
