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
Anyone’s OCD ever follow them into their dreams when they’re sleeping? I had this happen recently.
The last couple of days i’ve been able to keep my ocd at bay and have been ocd free but now i’m having ocd in my dreams. This is so upsetting. 😪 Does this happen to anyone else?
Does anyone else seem to do compulsions in their dreams? It’s hard because it seems like I am getting intrusive thoughts and doing compulsions in my dreams. It’s honestly like I never get a break and I am just so tired. Does anyone else feel this too? It’s just so weird how your obsessions AND behavior can transfer over into your dream state. Just a different aspect of OCD that I have been dealing with recently. Didn’t know if anyone else has felt similar?
