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
Yes. The more you are stressed over something, the more likely it’ll pop up in your dreams.
@Nica Thanks for commenting Nica. It gets so stressful sometimes because it feels like these thoughts will never go away and it makes you feel in denial
Yes I can relate to this. Sometimes my dreams will be really really stressful and play out the situation I am obsessing about. They also can be very vivid and feel like it actually happened. I just started medication for this very thing. I can’t say if it has helped because it is too soon but the thought of taking something to ease the dreams does help the thought process. Hope you feel better soon
@Sunday & Salem I’m glad I’m not alone. The more vivid, the more detailed, it feels so horrible
Same here. I have very vivid dreams and can have very disturbing events occur in my dream. I just remind myself that dreams aren’t real and are just a bunch of random occurrences. Like I had a dream I was in hogwarts with a magic wand. If that isn’t real why do my so-ocd dreams have to be real? Well they are not real :)
I do my rituals in my sleep I’m tired of arguing with myself in my sleep if that makes sense x
I have very odd dreams and they always have to do with my intrusive thoughts. I will have nightmares about all of the things i don’t want to happen and i am afraid of and even thought this is normal, i never have real dreams. Only nightmares.I also always remember my dreams and have 3-7 dreams a night even if i only sleep 6 hours. i wonder if anyone feels the same way or has a story to share
Lately I have been having really really bad existential ocd the thoughts and compulsions never stop they are even in my dreams I resist compulsions as long as I can but I just want this to go away I keep thinking about how many hours in a day people would have if they weren’t like me I just feel so awful every second I feel like I’m living a double life I only know about I just want this to all go away
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.
