    I had pretty full on dreams when pregnant - normally mine are a little weird anyway - sometimes I couldn't remember the dream but I'd wake up crying uncontrollably. I think they stopped at about 30 weeks for me, right about when I started being completely exhausted and drained by the end of the day.

    i had full on dreams when i was pregnant too! a couple of them really stuck with me. in one of them i was in the witness protection program and someone was trying to murder me and in another i was at work and our workplace had a policy of no uniform which meant we all worked naked! it was pretty scary dreaming of work mates in the buff!

    from memory tho they lasted the whole pregnancy. fingers crossed you dont get scary ones again!

    Mine lasted pretty much the whole pregnancy, they were pretty hideous at times but they do tend to progress during the pregnancy for fear that you are hurting your daughter by having another baby which is very common for early pregnancy, to weird birth dreams and body image dreams (oh the joys). If they are stressing you out then you could try some meditation before you go to sleep, concentrating on the mantra "peaceful sleep, beautiful dreams" as you relax and go to sleep. It should help take the edge off what you are dreaming.
