I just woke up from a dream related to my OCD subtype and it felt too real and felt like I liked it and woke up panicking. I know dreams don’t mean anything but it felt too real and now I can’t sleep.
Here if u need to talk
@Anonymous I appreciate it, but I’m going to try my best not go do compulsions and sit with the discomfort. I feel like the dream has to do with a lot that has happened this last week and maybe random bits of p*rn I’ve watched in the past.
I’m reading an NOCD article regarding it and it’s a little triggering but gonna go back to just breathing and sit with the discomfort and try to go back to sleep.
Those dreams are the worst, but it makes sense that we will dream about what we obsess about all day, so try not to put any emphasis on it, your brain is just regurgitating the rubbish you think throughout the day.
hey there, i totally get how rattling that can be, dreams can really throw us for a loop, especially when they play into our ocd themes. i've woken up feeling off-kilter from dreams that don't even relate to my pure o stuff, so i can imagine how much more intense it is when it ties into what you're already dealing with. just know i'm here to listen and you're not alone in this. i heard about this free ai ocd therapy tool called "unstuck" from my therapist, and it sounds like it could be a good fit for what you're going through. here's the link: www.AIOCDtool.com. since dreams can feel so vivid and personal, having a tool that's designed to guide you through those tough moments might be really helpful. it's like having a mini-therapist in your pocket that helps you step-by-step, kinda like erp therapy does. i was skeptical about app recommendations too, but this one's been a game-changer for me, and i genuinely think it could offer you some relief. no pressure though, just something that might be worth checking out. if you have any questions, i'm all ears. 🌟🌙
hey there, i totally get how rattling dreams can mess with your head, especially when they play into your ocd themes. it's rough waking up feeling like that, and i've had my fair share of mornings starting off on the wrong foot because of my own pure o spikes. just remember, you're not alone in this, and i'm here to listen whenever you need to vent or talk it out. 🌟 speaking of helpful stuff, my therapist tipped me off about this free AI OCD therapy tool called "unstuck" (www.AIOCDtool.com). i know how it sounds, i'm not a fan of random app promotions either, but hear me out. this could be a real game-changer for you, especially when those dreams hit and leave you reeling. it's like having an OCD therapist in your pocket, guiding you through those tough moments. you type in what's bugging you, and it walks you through steps to help you get, well, unstuck. it's been a lifesaver for me, and i genuinely think it could offer you some solid support. no pressure, though, just something that could be worth a shot. if you have any questions about it, i'm all ears! 😊
I just woke up from a dream where I was helping with someone’s baby, and I was excited to help them change their diaper. I don’t think I had evil intentions in the dream because I didn’t think anything creepy, but it makes me feel weird that I was excited. I think I was just excited to help with the baby but I also in the dream was nervous because I didn’t want to look at their privates. My mom was with me and I was asking her questions about what to do, so it makes me feel better she was with me like I really didn’t have evil intentions. But it still makes me feel uncomfortable and I woke up before actually going near their diaper. I feel anxious and my heart is racing because I feel like I wasn’t in a deep sleep and like I was fantasizing. I in real like have zero desire to go near a baby and I know I would be too afraid to help change a diaper. But also now I keep having images of them without the diaper in my head and it feels like I’m fantasizing. I don’t care about a child’s privates, it’s none of my business. I think the only reason I had this dream is because I worry with intrusive thoughts about harming children a lot in the day. But I’ve been up a lot of the night and again makes me worried that I wasn’t all the way asleep and was enjoying it. People have told me not to pay attention to dreams but it’s just hard not to.
I had these horrible nightmares that covered the most disturbing of my ocd subtypes and intrusive thoughts. They were so vivid and all disturbing and I just woke up. Thoughts of what if it’s something you want or other what ifs. And I’m so uncomfortable which is an understatement. I don’t even want up get up because I’m so uncomfortable. This is awful
Anybody relate to having dreams about what they’re obsessing about, like SO-OCD. I just had a dream like that and it was so disturbing. Even in the dream, it felt like I was doing compulsion after compulsion. I’m just tired
