Strange and vivid dreams...????

[kungfubecca]

I heard of a study when I was last on maternity leave where they found women had more nightmares in the second half of their cycle due to bbt rise.

Given that your body temp is higher maybe that's the dreams.

This time I've been having freaky nightmares, and quite often wake up hot after them.

Just a theory though

I have heard that dreams can be more vivid during pregnancy but not actually carrying out what you have dreamt. You must have had HEAPS of adrenelin flowing through your body to be able to tear the pillowcase! Sounds quite strange to me, Im interested to see if it happens again

I had vivid dreams and occasionally sleep walked......only to the couch though. My mother had nightmares in 2 out of 3 of her pregnancies where they seemed so real

I came to this board to ask this very question!

I had some horrible dreams last night, that I went for my 20 week scan and there was no baby. I woke up feeling really distressed. I've been having other bad dreams too, not related to the pregnancy.

Horrible feeling!!
