My dreams have turned into a sort of second life...?

I’ve been having dreams since mid-June. The first few were of me sleeping with a guy, telling my mother I was pregnant, holding my newborn baby as I lay in a hospital bed, taking the baby home, etc, etc. Like I’m living two lives: real life and my dream life. Well, a few weeks ago, Claire (the baby) was kidnapped, and I still haven’t found her. I realize that it’s only a dream and all, but it still stresses me out in real life, and I find that I cannot bring myself to fall asleep anymore.

I don’t want to know how to stop these dreams, not yet at least. I was just wondering if anybody knew a name for this, and/or any websites that touch on this subject.

PS: Claire’s father is my husband (in the dreams) now (Claire’s a bit older… I think around 10 months by now), but I never see his face. Either his back is turned or the face is just fuzzy or blurry or something.

PPS: This is actually why I joined this site. :wink:

:welcome: welcome to ld4all :happy:
your dreaming experience reminded me of an old DJ topic we had here. It was done by a member called Mystikan. You can read about his experiences here Mystikan’s Alternate Reality <-- link

Hmm… I’ve never heard of that happening before.
Did the dreams happen every night?

These sorts of chains of dreams are occasionally related to some sort of stress in real life or a repressed memory that you may have forgotten, but that is trying to get out by the way of your dream. Sounds crazy but its actaully fairly true. I’ve had some reoccuring dreams that were all related to each other. Most were not pleasant. :eek:

Winter - yes, I have at least one every night, all in chronological order… That makes sense in my head, sorry if it doesn’t make sense to you. :slight_smile:

Tyrael - See, that’s what I was thinking, and I was trying to think off all the stress in my life (that’s the first thing I do when I have odd dreams), but I came up virtually empty. I mean, there is everyday stress of school and social life and such, but I’m pretty anti-stressed compared to how I usually am. As for a repressed memory, I obviously can’t remember any repressed memories. :slight_smile: But thanks, I shall keep that in mind.

I shall also make a DJ on here soon, seeing as I misplaced my DJ notebook.

What about past life memories?
Are you aware if you are yourself in the dream?
