Do you ever wake up...

[Rajah]

...shaking after a dream?

I had one of those last night. Something involving tidal waves and the mountains and me constantly running trying not to get caught by the waves. First time in a long, long time I've woken up shaking from a dream.

Did you eat something before you went to bed, or did you watch something about tidal waves before you went to bed? If not, the dream might signify you're taking on a lot of things right now and you feel like you need to catch your breath (ie, the tidal wave) but you don't think you have the time to do so. So things seem to be mounting up for you (ie the mountains).

Yes, I've had dreams like that.

(((hugs))) I hate those! Im sorry that happened to you.


Were you watching " Dinosuars" last night? I came in at the tidal wave scene and that gave me creepy dreams all night too.


Then I had one last night about finding my ex... very strange dreams... must remember to not take Benadryl before bed.

Well, I almost always have dreams similar to that (usually me running from something or being chased by something or captured by something, not always specifically tidal waves in the mountains), this is just the first one in a long time I've woken up that upset from. It was strange. I couldn't go back to sleep until I'd sat up petting Skye and Sienna for a few minutes.

I did have dinner about 2 hours later than usual, but I also went to bed an hour and a half later than usual so I don't know if that had anything to do with it or not.

I have been focusing on fish and our new aquarium recently (and hoping I haven't gotten myself in over my head on the aquarium ) so that very well could answer the water portion, but not the fact that it came in the form of a tidal wave. Usually if I have water-disaster dreams it's horribly flooded streets. Not tidal waves chasing me.

I was reading about the Grand Canyon and other sites in Arizona just before going to bed, so that easily could bring in the mountains. (Ignore the fact that the Grand Canyon is a *Canyon*, not a mountain.... )

I think that part of the dream (me being on the phone trying to talk to my mom about getting a project done and having to tell her to hang on a minute while I raced the incoming wave) might signify my feelings of having taken on too much stuff since I was worried about how I was going to get everything done this weekend.

It was just strange to wake up actually *shaking* from a dream. Very strange. I'll have to see if it happens any more this week, and if it does, I'm going to see if we can up the dosage on my prescription that supposedly helps cut down the anxiety in these dreams...

I just read about dream interpretation before I logged onto the DIS! This is what AOL said about dreams with water in them:

Water
You feel as though a part of your life is out of your control. Could be time to let go of something.

Maybe that deals with the stress you felt about getting things finished this week?

Heh, cool.

Yep, that would fit. Especially since DH and I were discussing our "to do lists" we had for the weekend and how much we'd gotten done vs how much wasn't done. This was just before we went to bed, so that was on my mind more than usual.

I really need to figure out a hat to take *off* instead of constantly finding hats to *wear*. LOL!

[color=3300ff]I've had those kinds of dreams too. I'm usually falling or drowning.
I once had a dream I was holding my niece (who was a baby) and I fell into a lake and couldn't swim to the top. I felt as if I was being pulled down. And I had this sickening feeling in my stomach from the thought of my baby niece drowning because of me. I actually woke up shivering.[/color]

I too have dreams where I wake up shaking but they involve people trying to kill me and others. Not happy dreams in the least!! other dreams that disturb me are ones with tornadoes.

But I'm never killed by a murderer or tornado in my dreams...I either escape or the tornado disipates before it gets to me. *phew*

But in one dream I actually witness a kid getting shot and killed. Now THAT was disturbing!

But I haven't had one recently...thank goodness!
