    Nightmares can often happen when we are worried about something and often the material in them is stuff we would never ever do in real life.

    I suspect mine was the warped result of some thoughts I had before going to sleep about how I felt 'not in control' of something.

    In my dream I had no control over the men who had my daughter. :(

    I still get nostalgic about a dream I had 8 years ago... I had a best friend called Wayne, who was a chicken that occasionally turned into a Michael Jackson impersonator. Whenever I felt sad or low, Wayne would sing the chorus of "Loving you is easy 'cos you're beautiful" and make me feel better.

    I was inconsolable when I woke up to find that Wayne didn't really exist and that I'd never see him again :(

    And yes I do see how ridiculous that sounds but it really seemed so real at the time! :rotfl:

    Morning my lovely.

    vivid dreams can be so horrible :(

    I know it's very silly and immature, but watch this. I challenge you not to laugh! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=teNgQTrv6pE :D

    I actually laughed out loud reading that. I now feel sooo normal amongst other [STRIKE]weirdos[/STRIKE] like minded people. :D

    I might try really hard to cultivate a 'Wayne' in my subconscious and bring him out in times of need. He could be 'Wayne the Superhero Chicken' and have a wee red cape. He could fly in to save the day and peck hell out of the baddies in my dreams. :rotfl:

    *thinks I might just be putting too much thought into this......* :rotfl:

    Actually, that kinda reminds me of 'Drop Dead Fred'. Anyone remember him? :D

    Tee-hee! I really like that idea :p

    I didn't think the name was particularly funny but his reaction was contagious. :D

    I have it on DVD, makes me laugh every time!:rotfl:

    I had nightmare night before last, woke up with a headache, feeling sick, and unable to shake off the dream. Not nice, it left me feeling out of sorts all day yesterday, but am fine today. :)

    Me too. It was on offer at HMV one time and I couldn't possibly not buy it. :D

    Funny how something like a dream can have such a lasting effect isn't it?

    i had nightmares as a child, like we all did.

    But i learnt a trick in my nightmares.. i had a special power (ok your all giggling now)
    when the monsters and evil things were chasing me, i could jump up flap my arms and fly up out the way.

    yes sounds so silly now, but then DS used to get nightmares so i told him of my special trick, i've just said to him remeber when i told you as a small boy.. he's just looked at me as if i have just downed a bottle of morphine..

    Anyhoo, apart from my son thinking i have gone completely bonkers..

    The trick in my nightmares worked.. and was able to change the nightmare..

    What can I say? :rotfl:

    Be happy in your soft play. :D


    Seriously though, it's a useful trick to be able to do that, although personally rather than being able to fly away, I'd much prefer my right arm to turn into a machine gun. (I'm more of a fight fire with fire kinda gal. :rotfl:)
