Was I Dreaming or What?

I woke this morning and turned to answer my phone. All the covers slid off the bed. I pulled them up quickly so the child sleeping next to me would not be cold. Only there was no child. I live alone and have no young children or grandchildren. Where did this little one come from? It was all so weird. There was no child and I know it was there. I am so confused. What do you think? Is there some explanation for this? Has anything like this ever happened to you?

I do feel like my dream was so real when I wake up sometimes. I wake up so angry at my husband and can't get rid of that feeling.

That's funny. I used to tell my husband I was mad at him. He would ask what he did in my dream this time.

Oh good. It's not just me. When I start to doze off, all kinds of crazy things start to happen. I think things are there that aren't, that people are there that aren't. I will even start to do something, only to realize I was dozing and it wasn't real.

I know how you feel. I can close my eyes and be in another world.. I have worked all night and woke up to find I did nothing. It is frustrating sometimes.

@just4him So I take it that you have similar dreams?

Some dreams feel so real. I once woke up and as soon as I opened my eyes I screamed to my husband: "Please save the blue rabbit. I don't want it to get hurt" I was absolutely sure that a blue rabbit was climbing around on top of the bookcase, and I was scared that it would fall down and get hurt. It was a dream, there are no blue rabbits in our home but I still remember the feeling very clearly. I was so worried about that rabbit.

@akalinus No, I have only seen it once. I am wondering why it was blue. I have 5 real rabbits in my home, and a stuffed rabbit which is pink, but no blue rabbits. Like your red bird the blue rabbit seemed so real.

@Porcospino The blue rabbit and red bird must be symbols for something in our lives, but what?

That is not as strange as you probably think it is. I once dreamed that a red bird was following me everywhere. It made no sense but seemed so real. Maybe it was friends with your blue rabbit. Did it ever come again?

@akalinus I mainly remember those I judge to be "premonitory dreams". I had one last night about the fiance of my niece and I am a bit concerned.

@LadyDuck I hope that you did not dream that they contracted that dreadful virus.

I wake up, thinking I am somewhere else... but once I'm awake, I can't figure out where I thought I was... Pretty tells me I talk to people in my sleep that moved away years ago... Why do I do that? It's so bizarre!

@akalinus Uhm... have you had a new baby and just didn't want to tell us? If you're worried about not having a husband while having a new baby, I will marry you.

@DaddyEvil No new baby here, only the imaginary one. If only I was younger.

I don't know. The dream world does not make sense and it sometimes continues after you wake up. Like my dream that a baby was sleeping next to me.

Somewhere in existence there is a child and you were their comforter. In my other circle of friends, we would likely call you a rescue worker.

Well, that is something I never thought of. I had six kids and have had a variety of kids living with me. I ended up raising one of them. But I don't think I knew the child in the dream.

@Namelesss Thanks for telling me that. It makes me feel better about it. I do not know if the child was a boy or girl or how old. It was just there.

@akalinus Seems to me you are doing the same thing in your NP (non-physical) reality as you did in your PR (physical reality). Although a lot of people think this is woowoo, there are also a lot who have such experiences as yours. We know what we know and our experiences are just as real as what we call reality. The brain does not seem to know the difference and perhaps there isn't one. With the kids you surrounded yourself with it would seem only natural that kids from the NPR would also want that same comfort. It's a good thing.

The closest I guess was when I rolled over and thought my husband had overslept and it turned out our dog at the time Chance was sleeping with his head on the pillow but for a moment I was freaked out. Al never oversleeps.

I might be freaked out to find a dog in my bed when I thought it was my husband.

Maybe, but I am still looking around the corner to see if this kid is hiding somewhere.

I have woken up from a deep sleep dreaming thinking it was happening in reality. Always takes me a few minutes to actually get into reality from that state.

It was so strange. I really thought there was a kid in my bed. It never occurred to me that I was not taking care of a kid. It was all so weird.

@akalinus A few years ago my mother had once seen a woman cooking in our kitchen at midnight.She thought it was my sister-in-law, but my sister-in-law was fast asleep in her bedroom.A few minutes later my mother found the kitchen shut and the woman was not there.
