Nightmares

I am sleeping the full 8 hrs. a night without waking up but, the last dream of the night I have is always weird. The dreams are not the same, but always seem to take a weird turn, forcing me to wake-up. I'm with people I didn't really like, and haven't seen in years, places I don't know, etc.

Anyone know why this would suddenly be happening? It's so fustrating to wake-up with an uncomfortable feeling, and then constantly have to remind yourself your only upset about the dream, not anything real in your life.

Just checking that you are not coming off benzodiazapines.....I had to go on them temporarily a few years ago so that I could eat, but when I came off them, I had horrific nightmares. Probably not your case, just thought I'd mention it.

One thing you can try, I've read this someplace, is write down your thoughts and worries and stuff before going to bed at night - have the paper and pencil right there at your bed. Write them down and then put them aside, knowing that the paper will keep them for you all night until you wake up. You have every right to worry about that stuff on the list the next day, but try really hard to just put it all in that lockbox before you go to sleep.

Another thing to check out is Chinese medicine on this. I know they have all sorts of ideas about how you wake up, when you wake up, etc. And there might be something there to work with.

Lastly, if you are eating anything before bed, quit doing that. Or drinking anything. Whatever it is you do before bed if it is food/drink related, don't do. Switch it up.

Good luck to you.

Thanks for the hints, especially the chinese medicine!

It is just bothering me that I wake-up nervous each day and then when I start my day I'm fine.

I have a feeling that it is the chiropratic sublaxations I am having 3 x's a week. You feel worse while they adjust your nervous system back to normal. My back X-rays were horrible, from years of medical abuse, and we think there was chemo left in my head from 30 yrs. ago. I actually felt it draining through my itchy ears and got naucious, etc.

This is going to be followed with a visit to the acupuncturist if things to seem to get better.

That sounds like a perfectly reasonable explanation to me. I would suggest some cleansing herbs, maybe Traditional Medicinals or Yogi cleansing teas, (Peach Detox from Yogi is fairly tasty) and maybe some chlorella or spirulina in pill form. You might also try eat/drinking things heavy on the cinnamon/ginger/nutmeg spices, they'll improve circulation and make your tummy feel better. I'm currently dealing with a bout of shingles, so I've got the list of 'cleansing, healing' herb remedies right at the top of my head!

I've had that problem with freaky dreams right before you wake up too, I hope you're able to recover quickly form them. I find that playing some music that makes me happy or drinking something tasty right off helps bring me out of my bad-dream funk.

Oh, if your ears are itchy, it's totally ok to put a bit of olive oil on a qtip and swirl it around. Keeps earwax loose so it can come out and helps relieve dry skin, also quite antiseptic so no worries about starting an infection. I've used remedies where you soak a small piece of onion in olive oil and put in your ear for ear infections, so when I'm not dealing with an infection and it's just dry I just use olive oil.

Thanks the detox tea sounds good. I too use the olive oil treatment!

From a psychological end....it sounds like you are uncomfortable with where you are in life. Is there something you feel like needs to change? I have been facinated with dream interpretation...not even close to an expert...but that would be my guess.

All the other posts I read also make sense. The connection between our mind and body is so amazing and so poorly understood. Hope you have sweet dreams tonight! :D

      "Similar proteins to the gliadin found in wheat exist as secalin in rye, hordein in barley, and avenins in oats, and are collectively referred to as 'gluten'. The gluten found in all of these grains has been identified as the component capable of triggering the immune-mediated disorder, celiac disease." Biesiekierski JR (2017). "What is gluten?". J Gastroenterol Hepatol (Review). 32 (Suppl 1): 78–81. doi:10.1111/jgh.13703. PMID 28244676

      I have read research indicating differing reactions to various oat cultivars, however, nothing suggesting that some contain gluten - do you have a source for that?

      For those of you who have had celiac for a long time what do your IGA and TTG IGA Levels usually show on follow up blood work ? 
    • thejayland10
      Hello Everyone,   I used to be a lot less strict with my gluten-free diet. I have always eaten gluten-free but never only got gluten-free-certified or labeled products but the last few years I have been taking it a lot more seriously and only eat at dedicated gluten-free restraunts or things labeled gluten-free.     A recent blood test of mine showed slightly elevated IGA and TTG IGA but negative Endomysial Antibody which my doctor said is likely pointing to cross contact. I have no clue how this could be happening and I am trying to be super super careful now.   For example I used to always get Kroger frozen chicken which says gluten free on the package but when I reach out to kroger they have no idea and they said in the processing plant the clean the area after each batch but its not dedicated gluten-free facility.  Could processed gluten-free foods or even meats I am getting be making my levels appear slightly over the normal causing damage?     I am meeting with a dietician soon but curious on anyone insights or brand recommendations for meats especially

      Try DevaCurl Frizz-Free Volumizing Foam for curls, Living Proof Full Thickening Mousse for long-lasting body, or Aveda Phomollient for a soft, natural lift. Budget-friendly options like Giovanni Natural Mousse or Herbal Essences Bio:Renew also work well. Avoid heavy ingredients and check for hydrolyzed wheat protein if highly sensitive. Always verify labels for gluten-free safety.
