    Hey Cathy,

    Its Awful when your sleep deprived. Try having a look at your routine during the day or if anything is stressing you out a bit. Try making sure you have a good hour of relaxation before you retire for the night, a nice relaxing lavender bath helps, or maybe a brisk walk would work better for you, change your routine a bit. I always find that when I have a lot on my mind and my brain just wont shut up in bed it can go on for a while due to expecting the sleepless night which usually ends up with lots of wierd dreams and frustration. Hope you have a good night sleep tonight...:)

    Hi Cathy

    I think dreams are always trying to tell us somwthing its just a matter of decoding them;) I dont mean in the old fashioned one explaination fits all way!!! The things you're dreaming are symbolic and only you know what those symbols represent for YOU but saying that the fact that the vampires and zombies are trying to eat you could suggest that you feel your losing yourself? Literally losing parts of you? Poss your identity? Like i said only you know what they symbolise!!

    Hope this helps a bit?:o

    yep, some times I do feel like people are pulling out of me and my brain, time, etc are no longer my own and I have to address everyones needs before mine.But that siadI think most mothers are like that.but its not just my kids.
    Ill wait and see what the next bad dream is like.
    thanks for taking the time to reply.

    Hi Cathy,
    Are the details of your 'dreams' very clear in your mind?

    The underlined bit, do you mean me?

    Anyway my advice would be to try "*white chestnut" (Bach flower remedy), available from health food shops. If you cant find anywhere near you you can drop me a Pm and I will grab some and post it on to you.

    Anyone suggestion would be maybe hypnotherapy, if you want any more info on that or advice again feel free to give me a shout.

    6th


    *White Chestnut is used for "unwanted thoughts".

    hi 6th, I meant you.:)I had a feeling youd know what I should do.You wont believe me but my friend Kelly told me to get white chestnut for the insomnia (I never told her about the dreams)and I went to boots yesterday and got some.I didnt know I was to dilute it in water and poisined myself by putting drops into my mouth.
    I will see how it goes.To be hoenst some nights Im afraid to go alseep.Esp if I had a bad dream the night before.
    Ill leep you posted.Hope your well.
    thanks a billion and a bunch.

    Sorry I'm only seeing this now so. Like I said if you need a chat our anything drop me a PM or a mail. The white chestnut is great but just add 4 drops to water and try a glass in the morning and before bed ;)
