Screaming

Dreams in Old Age,, Old Age 1 Minute

In the middle of the night, I woke up screaming.I had felt the pain. It had been very real. I was sure I had been falling out of bed and was lying in agony on the floor.

It turned out I was lying in my bed. It had been only a dream that had made me scream like this.

Soon I went back to sleep. But not for long. Waking up again I felt very unhappy for my friends had been so very silent. Why would they not talk to me? But then I realized that they had not been with me at all. It had been just a dream. In my dream, which seemed so very real, I saw the whole family: The parents Doris and Karl-Heinz, and the children Gudrun and Michael. Karl-Heinz had died years ago in an accident. Gudrun was dead too. She had died from cancer.

After all this I finally went to sleep quite well without another bad dream.

  2. Oh Uta, I know those dreams too. Even when you first wake up it still all feels real. Our minds/ brains play such tricks on us! Sometimes I think it’s my digestive system, or medication causing them. I wish you good health, refreshing sleep & sweet dreans. Hugs xx.

  3. Aw. 😦 Those dreams can be so scary, Uta. 😦 And I know it takes me awhile to “come down from them” once I wake up completely.
    I hope you can get some good-sleep-no-dreams sleep tonight.
    (((HUGS))) and ❤️❤️❤️

    1. Dear Carolyn., thank you so much for your comment. :❤

      I am lucky in that I had no more bad dreams but lots of really good sleep. 😂

    1. That’s right, Jan. Nightmares may perhaps tell us something about our not so good feelings?

      Hopefully no more Nightmares now for there is really nothing I ought to be so scared about.

      Also, that there is a lot that I can still enjoy from day to day. 😂

      Best wishes to you, dear Jan. for always enjoying life as much as possible! ❤

  7. Oh my goodness, Uta. Those are frightening dreams. I wonder, did you eat something different before bed? Ha! I am glad you generally sleep well. But those are vivid dreams, that’s for sure! 😉
