Meltdowns In Dreams

Post Reply New Topic

Who has meltdowns in their dreams? I often have them since I have been on Lexapro. Before Lexapro I would have them in dreams but not as much, I would have them in real life. Now I dont meltdown as much as I used to IRL before starting Lexapro, all the meltdowns are in my dreams, its weird.
Something silly usually happens and I start melting down. IRL things bother me, but I have learned to control my anxiety and anger better. Do you think the feelings that I hide about things come out more, therefore causing a meltdown in my dream?

I have a lot of meltdowns in my dreams- probably more than in my life. Maybe they´re all the meltdowns I try to hold back, finally coming out in my dreams? Maybe that´s where all of our repressed emotions go?

One year, after my mum and took the Christmas tree down, and packed up all the decorations, I took a nap, because I was very tired. I had a dream that I was having a tearful meltdown, about Christmas being over.

I've had meltdowns in dreams a a child. Until I was about six years old. I could wake up crying.

Meltdown dreams are rare now, but when I was younger I had meltdown dreams frequently. When it happens I feel disturbed for the entire day.

I had one last night and I got mad over the silliest thing, but I feel that I was mad over something else that I have holding back. Things in my life are going pretty great right now, but I have a few setbacks that I need fixed. most of my problems are my thoughts though and the stuff that I have no control over and stuff people do/did to me or how they bullied me, so that could be the anger I'm letting out in my dreams.

I get meltdowns in my sleep due to many things happening but mainly reflecting on what happened to me in the past.
Lately, I haven't been having these dreams but having dreams of me and my girlfriend making true love, I only wished it was real.

Fairly often.

I had a problem with screaming in my sleep when I went to bed highly anxious. I don't know if it will happen again, but it is over for now.

I didn't remember any bad dreams. I didn't remember screaming. My BF told me about it the next morning and also he said it was impossible to wake me at the time.

i never remmer any of my dreams,

Most nights I have a meltdown in my dream. I wake up and feel really relieved that I didn't cause an atmosphere in real life, and I hope that I get through another day without having a meltdown. I HATE having meltdowns!

I had a meltdown in a dream recently. It was a complete meltdown and shutdown and I remember it well. I was under a lot of stress at the time and I was fearful of having a meltdown.

i often freak out and yell and scream and pound on things in my dreams. so yes, i have meltdowns!

Do I! I scream and cry endlessly over odd things in my dreams. I'm sure it's displaced from something I've repressed, but I'm never really sure what it is. I often wake up with a migraine after those dreams and it takes me a whole day to recover.

I used to have them. I used to wake up terrified. Now I can't remember my dreams because I can barely sleep.

I don't ever have meltdowns in my dreams. Whenever I feel a nightmare coming on via sense of terror/impending doom, I start lucid dreaming and try to wake myself up by hurling my body off of staircases so that I'll deliberately induce a feeling of falling and get a hypnic jerk. If that fails (and it always has so far), I collapse on the ground and scream for my parents, hoping I'll start screaming in real life and someone can "rescue" me. This fails just as often as the staircase thing, which is every time.
