Sometimes I go through stages where I will have bad dreams on a fairly consistent basis. Here are some of the unpleasant and strange dreams I remember having in the last ten years or so:
- Dinosaurs attacking my apartment complex
- Trying to get to the Provo temple while Provo was under seige, and trying to get there without the enemies finding me
- Helicopters dropping bombs on the BYU campus
- A gunman shooting people on the BYU campus
- American Indians attacking my neighborhood
- Being chased by bears
- Having to walk across a rickety old bridge
- Driving super fast on super hilly roads and not having control over the car
- Driving up a hill so steep the car fell backwards off the edge of the hill (The funniest part about this dream was that I remember thinking while the car was falling in mid-air, "Just relax, Abbi. People who are asleep in car accidents get hurt less than those who tense up, so just close your eyes and try to relax." Haha.)
- Family members going off to war
- Family members dying
- Being betrayed by my best friend
- Being ignored by President Hinckley
Within the last month, I have been in one of these stages. I’ve dreamt about:
- Being held hostage on a Romanian train
- Being attacked by a really well-dressed man on a Romanian street and defending myself with a knife I had in my hand
- Swimming in a Romanian pool full of poop and worrying that it wasn’t sanitary
- Having to testify in court for a friend who had been accused of a grave crime
- Flying in an unsafe contraption over northern Germany
- Breaking up with Chad and wondering why I had let that happen
- Finding out my dad was dying
- Getting really angry at some good friends for no good reason
A lot of these dreams really sound comical written out in black and white, huh?! But on a more serious note, I’ve been tired easier and more often than usual lately, and I’m wondering if it’s because my sleep isn’t restful because of my dreams. Has anyone else experienced crazy dreams like this? Or do you think I should seek psychological help? :)

Woah, Abbi! That is funny and kind of frightening at the same time! I am just amazed that you remembered all these crazy dreams!
I usually have bad dreams when I'm not feeling well, or I am stressed about something. Can you see your worries coming out in the dreams? I hope that's all your bad dreams for now!
Pretty intense! It looks like you are working all your problems out in your dreams.
I always wonder what dreams mean. I HATE having bad dreams. It is the worst feeling and I always wake up mad or sad from them!! I hope they STOP!! Sorry!!
