The last two nights my dreams have involved hospital wards and nurses attempting to kill one another. After my recent experiences I have to wonder what my subconscious is trying to tell me? ๐x

I had a nightmare last night, whereas I never usually remember my dreams at all, let alone nightmares. I was thinking I might have read somewhere that this can be a symptom of lungs weakening and struggling to breathe at night??? xDiagnosed July 2020, ALS bulbar onset.Comment

Heather R Yes, it can be if it happens regularly, but it can be stress related too - you've had quite a traumatic week Heather, so it could be your mind just processing your emotions. Also, if you're taking any pain meds, they might be the culprit.

It's getting silly now. Last night I actually ingested (ate) a rather plump nurse in dark blue garb. I can spare you the details, as I was; but where are mental health services when you really need them?Bulbar started Jan 2020. Mute and 100% tube fed but mobile and undefeated.

That must have been unsettling Mathew.
Iโve always been able to change whatโs happening in my dreams (the live action๐) and a couple of times recently woke myself up when the action in a dream persisted. I kept changing the action but it kept reappearing. Iโd never had bad dreams previously thankfully, Lynne xLast edited by Lynne K; 8 May 2021, 08:26.ALS diagnosed November 2017, limb onset.

Well, I was curious, so I went and googled (again).
Dream interpretations of killing (you killing, others killing) is supposedly your emotions venting anger/grief/frustration on something - so, the symbolism of nurses is something you want out of your life, something you want to be rid of. Especially if you've had rough or frustrating experiences with medical staff...
So, you aren't going doolally - your frustrations & pent up emotions are coming out harmlessly in your dreams, a safe way of 'venting' frustrations, as it were, which aren't being vented on the people helping you at the time... Like your mind is doing the rummaging through your emotions, before venting them, and putting them out for recycling...
And if its directed at yourself, its that part of you that you are angry/frustrated with, and want rid of...
I am no expert, just curious about these things, so hope that helps. Ok, I will get my coat now....
