I'm really in need of help here.

I was in a building and entered an office. All of a sudden I was grabbed by the arm and lead to a room surrounded by shatterproof glass and given a red jumpsuit and "do" rag to wear. There was a door to the outside that was bolted shut and a bunch of benches and cots in the room where I was. Thru a narrow hallway, there were showers. That was it. BUT, there was one other woman in there and she and I talked about why we were there. We both had entered the office without knocking, however, the door was wide open. Their open door policy meant to knock if the door was open. Strange, I know. Anyway, she said she had 6 months left in there before she could leave. I asked how long we were required to stay and she said 2 years. I fell apart. She also added that no family of friends could visit. It just kept getting worse. But then the big disappointment was that each of us could look out and the only thing we could see was our own world. So what she sees is her family and friends, but she can't see mine. And I see mine, but not her's. I see my parents doing their own thing, Dylan is living with Scott and his wife and he is calling her "mommy" and it devastates me. He doesn't even miss me. Shane has our baby and has moved on with another woman and she is mothering my baby!! I wanted to die.

I have had this dream twice and woke up crying both times. Shane says I'm just being silly, but I don't know what it means.

Also, I had a dream that I had D in daycare and forgot him until 7:30 at night. The doors were locked and I couldn't get to him. He was trying to get out to get to me and I was banging on the doors to get to him, but the person watching him was just standing there tapping her watch as if to tell me it was too late and he couldn't go with me.

What's wrong with me????

I think you're PREGNANT mel!

I had lots of weird preggo dreams, especially about my kids. Sounds like you're worried about a new child replacing the old one, family dynamics shifting, things being shaken up.

I had the MOST bizarre dreams when I was pregnant. One where an EYE, complete with eyelashes grew on my LEG...blinking...AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH....I'm sure it had something to do with what was growing IN me...

I think you are eating too much sugar before you go to bed!! Seriously - I always have the worst dreams when I do that!!

Get some rest and don't worry your pretty head.

Mel, I have to agree. Pregnancy can throw your hormones and sleep cycles (closely linked) for a loop. The BEST think you can do is eat well before bed, and try not to obsess about it.


Also, are you taking anything to help you sleep really well? Ask doc about natural Melatonin. Worked wonders for me while I was preg. And it still doesn't. W/out wiping you out. Just gently encourages deep sleep.

I really need some deep sleep. I'm eating well and not eating too much of anything I shouldn't have. And I'm staying active, but also resting when I need it.

I sleep most of the night, but about 5:30, I start to toss and flop and that's when the dreams start. I wake from one and get back to sleep and wake from another. It's horrible. I wake up so exhausted and all I want to do all day is sleep instead of getting out there and doing what I need to do.

It's hurt my work too. I'm getting started officially in the mortgage business here at home and part of my job right now is just to go see some realtors and builders and let them know I'm here and to get them to refer some business my way when they have a prospective buyer. Hard? Not at all. I can do that fine, but being so tired, it's hurt my ability to be motivated to go out and do it.

Hopefully, I'll get better soon. I see my doc on Monday. I'll ask him about the sleeping and what I can do to help it along.

Thanks!

Mel

Hey Mel,

I am going to disagree with some of the ladies and say, this has more to do than just pregancy. When I was pregnant I dreamed every night my husband was cheating on me. Everyone said I was nuts, pregnant dreams, etc etc. Who was right in the end? ME! I think you might have some security issues and fears about your family. So give me a little time and I will try and dissect your dream with some other friends here.

I do have issues. I fear that the same thing will happen to me that did in my first marriage even though I know it won't. And I know that no matter what, Dylan would never call his step mother "mommy". Never in a million years. But the fear of being left alone and forgotten is so scary. It's almost silly though. My family adores me and my son would never forget his mommy. Shane wouldn't allow me to rot in some cell for any amount of time either, much less move on and forget I existed. Please! So in reality, it wouldn't happen, but fearing losing everything is very real. I guess because I have so much to be thankful for, losing it would be such a devastating experience and the dreams could be a reflection of how I'd feel if I had to watch as I lost it all without the ability to speak up for myself and try to stop it from happening.
