I’ve been having a lot of nightmares lately, lately being the last few years and a lot being 2 - 3 each and every night. Is that normal? I always assumed that most people bring up nightmares every time they have one, which is not that often; I, on the other hand, only feel the need to bring up nightmares when I have a particularly troubling subconscious late-night picture show… a feeling I can’t act on because the content of such dreams is not suitable for work or for life in general.
It must be so nice to bore the pants off someone telling them about your “weird dream” where Captain Planet was cheese and time went upwards, oh and Jeff from that place a few years ago was there and he was also your mother. I can only watch peoples faces curl into disturbed disgust as I recall my night of redacted where redacted in fire made of images of my own screaming face; oh and there was a puppy but it redacted.
No, in fact I only tell people about my rare non-horrific dreams, which are inexplicably still on level with most peoples nightmares. So for the most part, I present like everyone else in terms of dream disclosure. I don’t talk about them except for bringing up a rare socially acceptable nightmare, packing the rest into my increasingly cramped “don’t think about it” box . It makes me wonder how many other people are out there, silently suffering through broken sleep every single night, fitting in is such a burden.
