Crazy house buying and selling dreams

Last night I dreamt that my buyers insisted on a year between exchange and completion and that I must leave them my two cats. Woke up crying. I'm losing the plot!!!

Anyone else going mad?

    lol could it be the weather? I had the most horrific dream lastnight where I came home to find my apartment didn't exist and i couldn't find my boyfriend (who would have been at home) and nobody would acknowledge the existence of either! Terrifying - I had to remind myself several times after that he was beside me sleeping..

    So you're not the only one!

    Not dreams as such but after I've viewed some houses over a few days and thought that a couple really stood out, I've woken up with the thought that another one I'd seen a while ago would be the best buy.

    Yes, I feel like I am losing my mind!

    My nerves are shot, I cannot sleep, I have never in my life before felt like I have so little control over anything. On top of this my partner relies on me to reassure her that everything will be okay, but is incredibly averse to risk and confrontation with vendors. That means I simultaneously feel like I have to hide any negative emotion and that my balls have been taken away!

    (Yes, this is something we will have to work on)

    Hopefully exchange on Monday so maybe I will feel like I have more control after that. Hopefully.
  • Crazy house dreams here too! We are about 3 weeks away from completing on our first ever property, which is a flat in a big block of other flats. I recently had a dream where I had bought the flat but when I went to visit it, it was no longer there but all the other flats in the block still were. I also had another dream where the flat had magically moved to the South of France and was being lived in by a group of squatters..

    Before we decided on a house, I was going house hunting with my boyfriend's mum and she had a really weird dream where I went into labour with twins inside one of the houses we had recently been to view. I am not pregnant and have absolutely no interest in children so where that came from, I have no idea :p

    Try for "hallucinations" (metaphorically-speaking) instead of dreams.:cool:

    For some weeks now I've seen the same person (agegroup and sex matching what I've been told my buyer is like) hanging around here at regular intervals and lurking for some time (and it would appear they've been chatting to a neighbour whilst in vicinity).

    Hallucinations or it's my buyer "having a lurk"?

    If it is them then I won't be asking them in, as I'm not keen on the look of them...and will just continue to avoid them, whilst registering that I suppose the lurking is a positive sign...

    Thoughts on whether this person is likely to be my buyer or no? Has anyone else spotted someone who is/might be their buyer lurking round nearby a lot?

    I feel quite ill with it all, the excitment of moving house has long gone. I just want my life back. Oh well monday tomorrow lets see what this week brings not feeling hopeful of a exchange this week.

    Money, I seriously, and genuinely, suggest that you seek advice from a mental health professional.
