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.
I know people say ocd can manifest in your dreams. I had a semi sexual dream, in that there was a naked woman and I enjoyed the dream so surely that can't be ocd. Idk this shit is annoying.
When I woke up today I got intense feelings of arousal and urges to masturbate and thoughts of this 12 year old kid I’ve seen irl started popping up, idk why it all happened, I can’t tell if I liked it or not. Or if I wanted it or not.
I had a really bad nightmare revolving around one of my big themes and I woke up with the panic still left over the dream as if it was real and I kept thinking about the situations. I tried to tell myself it was just a dream, but then it made me question real life. So then it was a cycle of ruminating about the events as though they were real and my reality which really messed me up bc my biggest theme right now is becoming schizophrenic/catatonic/"crazy." I feel stuck in a loop, I've tried saying the "maybes" and even talking to my partner about other things but it just keeps looping in my head "am I crazy?" "I can't differentiate between dreams" "I feel like I'm stuck in my head and I can't even talk". Any tips? I feel like I'm at the crescendo of my 20 years (lifelong) ocd due to stress from moving soon.
