Dream or Nightmare?

pregnancy really screws with your head, and your dreams. the only time I’ve experienced dreams where I wake up truly upset or angry about something that happened in a dream is when I am pregnant. I spent the last hour of my morning before getting out of bed tossing and turning and being mad at Dean for something he did in my dream. I mean I was truly angry with him and I kept trying to go back to sleep but I couldnt stop thinking about the dumb dream. In my other pregnancies this happened, but I dont remember what the dream was about, I know in one of the pregnancies, bo’s I beleive I dreamt someone close to me died and I awoke scared and upset and waiting the phone call that it was true, luckily it was just a dream.

So in my dream this time, I caught Dean in bed with another woman. she wasnt beautiful or anything, but I can see her face clearly still. After I “found” them, she got up and walked away and said it’s not a big deal I’m leaving to go back to Alaska today anyway and she was gone. Dean tried to tell me it didnt mean anything and explain it away, in the dream I mean. I left and took the kids to my friends house. I was crying and telling her what happened and she kept laughing at me. That made me really mad! she said Dean would never do that to you and she wouldnt believe me. So I went home and kept hitting Dean and told him it was over. In the dream we had kids, but two blond curly haired little girls. I mean one was an infant and one was crawling around, walking sometimes. There was no bo or Caleb, just these two baby girls. It was a strange dream and I awoke still angry w/ Dean; hours later and I still am a little frustrated.

I told Dean about the dream and he instantly got offended that I’d think he’d cheat on me. I mean it was a dream, but I did ask him if there was something he needed to tell me! 😉 the last time I had a dream like this, one so real and that stuck w/ me, I woke up crying and couldnt shake the bad feeling all day. I wonder what makes us dream the way we do? I’m glad it was just a dream and the funniest part to me of the dream was I kept telling people there’s no reason for him to be with someone else, it’s not like we’re not having sex all the time. I thought it was funny that I kept saying that to people, especially people I’d never ever talk to about my sex life. It was crazy, just another pregnancy symptom you dont get told about, very vivid dreams. I hope that’s my “one” for this pregnancy and that it wont happen again. It may have something to do with that cheese steak sub I ate shortly before going to bed! 😉

    While not as disturbing as yours, I had a dream almost two weeks ago that one of my coworkers decided to seriously berate me for having to back out of volunteering for an event. It was so real that I am still not sure it didn’t really happen and I’ve been avoiding the coworker, who I don’t see that often anyway, ever since. I wish that something surreal or dream-like would have popped up to let me know it was a dream, but it didn’t. I feel silly for avoiding the coworker, but the dream was so real that it vividly comes to mind whenever I see her across the way and I can’t shake it.
