On Facebook a friend posted that she hates when bad dreams stick with you all day. Funny enough, I had this exact same thing happen to myself recently. I think it’s because we’re both Scorpios and we’re both super-fantastic.
Anyway, about a week ago I had a terrible, terrible dream. No, not the dream where all my teeth are falling out while I talk to someone important and when I put them back in they crumble. Not that dream. I dreamed that my boyfriend cheated on me with my best friend…and he didn’t even feel bad about it.
It. Was. Awful.
When I awoke, I jumped up crying and then stared at him in absolute anger. I was livid. How could he cheat on me in my dream. What a jerk!
The poor guy woke up, and then had to comfort me and assure me he would never do anything like that – which I already knew. In a normal state of mind I know for a fact he would NEVER ever ever do anything like that (he’s the first decent guy I’ve ever dated). However, in my hyper-emotional-you-cheated-on-me-in-my-dream state…I was absolutely distraught with sadness and anger. What’s that all about?
What’s worse is that for the rest of the day, I was a disaster. I couldn’t get over the devastation that I felt…while sleeping. In fact, I felt betrayed and miserable all day (yes, I realize this makes me completely crazy).
The thing is, he’s not AT ALL that guy. I know he’s not that guy. I’ve repeatedly dated that guy and this one’s not that guy. He’s actually a decent human being. What I don’t understand is how I let a dream affect my entire day. Dummy.

M.A. BrothertonOur dreams are ways for our minds to work out something that’s been bothering them. If he really is the first decent guy you’ve dated, your mind might be having a hard time coming to terms with that.
I think that’s why nightmares shake us so completely.
