Dreams
Hi all, just a quick check in, 11 weeks yesterday of being free and loving it. Have one small question though, the last 2-3 nights I've been having really bizarre dreams, not waking me up but i remember them which is a first for me. Not nightmarish or the same dream, all different but so bizarre, like last night i was using a box of weetbix as a skate board through our little town here dodging cars etc. Have i finally fell off the perch into lala land or will this pass? oh dear
Hi Mandella. I don't know. Maybe the weetbix box represents a pack of cigarettes and you are taking a wild ride like a surfer avoiding hazards on the way. You will probably get even better at manoeuvring that weetbix box. Enjoy the ride...
I am on the patches and have had a few nightmares, sometimes if I fall asleep in the day have bad dreams that really shake me up, I suffer with insomnia, so I guess it is not unusual for you to have strange dreams, they will stop, gave up for three months and was OK with sleeping but since this virus started, I am struggling with smoking and bad dreams.
You mention insomnia in a post. Try tryptophan, the stuff in turkeys that makes you tired. It helps with seretonin and enhances mood, it also helps with melatonin for sleep. I use a nutrition app and have been sleeping much better when my tryptophan levels are highfrom my diet. I too have had periods of insomnia in the past for whatever reason. Sleep is essential for good health. Don't ignore it.
Sorry I thought I was back on Diddi's page and responding.
You are doing great Mandella. I had a smoking dream once but did not worry about it. I hardly remember dreams. Maybe yours is reminding you to eat your "Wheatabix" and exercise! I would love to remember FUN dreams. Not much fun going on these days....but we are in a much better place to get through this trying time.
Hi Mandella I have lots of dreams, not smoking related now and some of them I remember, they usually come after I get up to use the bathroom and then go back to sleep. I would suggest that there would be quite a few people with this problem at the moment due to this pandemic, if it bothers you talk to your doc.
Thanks all for your responses, the dreams arn't worrying me in a bad way, i'm not overly concerned about them, actually find them entertaining, i just felt it was weird to start having them out of the blue thats all. Cheers!
