Why must I have a consistent stream of bad dreams?

Lounge
1

Just slept for a bit, so this is on my mind.

It wasn’t like this when I was younger. I can still remember the dreams of flying and whatnot. I used to have mostly positive dreams, as far as I can remember.

The best I can hope for is something that is somewhat neutral these days. Probably 99% percent of my dreams are negative these days. And I truly mean that percentage. 99 out of 100.

It’s ridiculous.

What drives this? Is it that I have a more negative attitude subconsciously now? Have life experiences driven me in this direction? Is it the medication? The SZ? What?

Anyway, please feel free share your experience with dreams as well.

I don’t think so. This has been going on for quite awhile, with varying levels of stress at the time. I don’t think my level of stress it too high atm.

Thanks for your suggestion ,though.

It’s the low quality of your friends. I suggest trading me in for a more pleasant and empathetic buddy like a cactus or a pet rock.

Not too bad of dreams right now. Not particularly good, but not bad either.

Right now I wish we had those emoji thingies instead of the hearts. Those options we had for a brief time. Really could use a laughing emoji. I laughed out loud at that.

Btw, you can’t get rid of me that easily. I’m like a recurring bad rash.

Oh thank goodness. I thought the burning was from shoving more ghost peppers down the back of my undies. (Long story that we’re not discussing.)

Most of my dreams are negative. They usually involve me in a life or death situation or me getting rejected by women. Its frustrating.

I blame my Olanzapine and Cipralex.

I have this problem too. Lately I have a recurring one where someone has a loaded gun pointed at me and I’m afraid I could die at any moment. Not sure why I have dreams with guns in them, I’ve never owned one. Must be the shows I watch or games I play.

I remember having some dreams, like maybe a month or two ago with swords and swordplay.

P.S. The ending of one I can remember somewhat well atm did not end well and woke me up.

I have screwed up dreams every night. Started in my childhood not as frequently but still I have always had these craptacular dreams. I’m not sure why i just want them to leave me alone so I can get a great nights rest.

I even had one last night, and it was just about owning a gun. It was a small caliber pistol and very realistic. I’m just like, how is my brain able to make such a realistic gun if it’s never really held or seen one up close? Is it just from the Call of Duty I played years ago? Cuz I used to know a little bit about different guns due to that game.
