Stress

[bigmamma]

Do you think nightmares are a sign of stress and do you have really scary ones , I had one last night that I was relieved to wake up from !!!

[rom]

goodness bigmamma that sounds a terrible dream!!

i used to have terrible nightmares, one still sticks in my mind and still creeps me out !! i think the clue is to relax before bed (easier said than done nowadays!!)
i think my nightmares will be mostly about the dentist in the next 2 weeks - hee hee

Well it's mentally that counts! I love the fact that i'm close with my mum. Unfortunately don't see her as much these days as she tends to spend more and more time around my dad's house - which i'm not sure is a good thing...!

You must be very proud of him being in the RAF - he's my age isn't he? about 22?

[bigmamma]

That's right rom , youv'e bravely made a dental appointment I remember.:-)
Yes nat my son was born in 84 , same as you .

[rom]

and i shall probably spend the next 2 weeks having nightmares about drills and teeth and whizzing and whirring noises. i think i would rather be giving birth on that day!!! well maybe not. (sorry Nat!!!)

[nat_84]

bless your heart rom! you'll be fine!! Make sure they promise you a lollipop once the examination is over with... !lol.

thanks Nat!!!
im so scared, and i am going on my birthday!! when the woman was taking my details she asked for my date of birth and i replied that its the 29th of may - she said "oh what a shame, so nervous about it and you are coming in on your birthday"!!!! she was lovely though so thats already put me at ease, think thats where my fear has come from - scary receptionists and angry looking dentists with drills !!!

[nat_84]

lol - i know what u mean about the receptionists! Just the site of some of their miserable faces can be off putting!!!

Just think "mind over matter"....!

What a lot of terrible dreams! I had an awful nightmare a year or so ago that now makes me and hub laugh - even though at the time it was one of those really anxious, can't escape, nothing works sort of nightmares. I was being chased, trying to throw things in the way of someone unknown chasing me, closing doors, running upstairs - you know the kind of thing. It ended up with me being stuck in a room with no way out, so I turned round to attack the attacker with a lump of wood that I suddenly had in my hand. I whacked and whacked in a frenzy at this man who by now had a face that was covered in blood and gore, and guess who it was? It was Ben Fogle, the original Castaway chap with the dog. It was the most terrifying, but later on the funniest nightmare ever! My hub remembers it every time he comes on TV, and asks what he ever did to p!$$ me off so much!!
I also have a recurring nightmare that my mouth is full of chewing gum and I can't talk or get it out. If I pull it, my tongue comes out with it. I have this dream at least 3 times a month - anybody have any idea at all what that might mean?! It always shakes me up badly and I'm not THAT stressed really...! :-\

[bigmamma]

Well nutgoneflake , hi , and Ben comes across as a big softy on tv , lol .
As for the tongue tied with chewing gum .....??? can't help there !!! :-)

[nutgoneflake]

He does, doesn't he? But in my dream he got what was coming to him lol!! I can't look at him on TV without feeling a little bit sorry though...
