OCD Dreams
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.
I have been struggling with ocd a lot lately, it makes my life impossible to deal, I just wanted to have a normal life, I have ocd since my childhood but I was recently diagnosed, I just worry so much about my dreams and their meaning. If I obsess in a though I will dream about it and it makes me a lot distressed,I just wanted them to stop
This is a newer and more recent thing for me and i’m wondering if anyone else has had this experience and can explain why. I have been having ocd dreams like intrusive dreams. My ocd is telling me it’s because I want these horrible things but I don’t at all and it’s upsetting that I can’t even get away from ocd when I sleep. This is so draining.
