Bad Dreams in Peri

I too have strange dreams. Mine may be due to a medication I'm on. My mother used to tell me to turn your dreams around and make them positive. In other words if you dream about the death of someone turn it around to that person living and the death may be that person trying to rid themselves of a bad habit. Dying to the habit and becoming alive to the new habit.

I don't know your beliefs, but I have a Bible meditation app on my phone that I listen to right before bed. Be blessed and try not to worry. 🤗🙏

hi sunaina

i too have very realistic dreams and nightmares... im not sure though if its from peri or the medication im on for peri symptoms. even last night i woke up freaking out and checking there was no one else in my bed then i woke up freaking i was pregnant with 5 babies. I have large mirror doors opposite bed and really freaked when i saw a large round lump under the covers. it looked like i was massivly pregnant, then realised my knees were were bent up under the covers...... phewwww

Yes I think you are right, It really only started to this extent since going through peri.

Hope you find something soothing that might help ease the types of dreams you have at least. Perhaps a soothing tea before bed or relaxing scent in the room, lavender if you can tolerate it

Good Luck

hi Sunaina

yes I believe this is peri related. I also have some nights when I wake up from scary bizarre dreams. My mind is occupied with peri anxiety which definitely disturbs my sleep, then these scary dreams on top of that. I have been trying to keep my mind occupied with positive thoughts during day time and keep feeding positive thoughts, it's slowly but surely helping my sleep. I agree with what others said, try to relax your mind before going to bed, meditate, listen to calm music, or read a book. we'll get through this, just have to be extra nice and kind to ourselves during this delicate phase of ourselves.

When i went into surgical menopause i remember having really scary dreams for a while! I put it down to the hormones at the time and they did stop in the end!
