Dream thread.

Hello.

I usually don´t post here, but have been wanting to sometimes.
Most often I hang around in the just for fun and PD forums.

If somehow then how does DID affect your dreams?
What do you usually dream about?
I am curious in any insight you can provide.

I have very vivid dreams. Very unusual too (from what other people tell me when I tell them about my dreams). I remember most of them, even a few from 40 years ago. That says a lot since I don't remember much of anything else from then. They are almost always in third person. I believe I have met a few alters in my dreams, but can't be sure.

Well... I'm not diagnosticated yet, but I almost always liked my dreams.

I remeber some dreams more than others, because some of them from time to time appear again in my sleep.

[Trigger warning, just in case]
Sometimes I dream one thing again and again because I'm not doing something I should, like in one of them where I was supposed to save a girl (in this dream I was a middle age man with the apparience of an Arabic or something like that, who said he was an angel and the girl was one too. ), but the first time I couldn't and then she got shot. The next time I was the one who got hurt but it was just a bruise and the girl was safe.

Then in a lot of them I'm being attacked by people/monsters/animals, or I'm the one attacking to people and/or monsters. I'm pretty used by now that in my dreams people wants to kill me.

In one of them I was an animal, a canine (and that's was fine with me because I consider myself something like a wolf. ) In another I was just seeing the dream, it was like a movie, and I liked it a lot. xD

Those are the kind of dreams I like to have, but then I also have dreams that really affects me, some of them leave me with a "I don't want to leave the bed" feeling.

I think you mean to say diagnosed. (I read your signature.)

Oh, for goodness sake, yes, sorry, I didn't notice I wrote "diagnosticated". Thank you.

Do you have third person dreams, in which the person you are observing goes to sleep and dreams a dream which is your new dream... until the person is finished, at that time you being back to observing that person being awake in your dream?

Hey there NML, nice to see you around!

I remember there were times when I frequently had all sorts of "Inception-like" dreams like those, especially (but not only) during the first weeks after I started taking an antidepressant, and then the same thing (plus a few hallucinations) later when I was prescribed another antidepressant.

It was hard to tell what was real and what was not, especially since I slept random hours during those "phases". I remember I had very similar phases when I was little. (Being on antidepressants actually made me feel like I was back to my childhood in many ways. It was disturbing...)

My dreams are very vivid also...I dream ALOT. Pretty much every night. Many of them are nightmares and scare me.

I often have dreams of seeing my insiders. They are usually in distress. Like they are showing me their pain or what happened to them.

I have dreams of switching too. They are very weird and can be unnerving.

Happy to see you again anagram. Might be fun to chat about psychology with you sometimes. : )

You can PM me any time if you want
