Can I dream about my OCD?
In short answer- yes! Our dreams are filled with all sorts of things, so it only makes sense that sometimes we will have dreams about our intrusive thoughts. So what do we do? ERP! We can't control our dreams, just like we can't control our thoughts. What we can do is choose how to respond to it. The first time it happened to me I was a little alarmed at first, but then realized if I'm dreaming about it then that means it's probably something I should tackle with some ERP. I had a few more dreams after that, but they were much less intense and easier to move past (sort of like our intrusive thoughts!). Don't let it fool you, even in our dreams we are STILL not our OCD!
