Weird dreams / scary dreams

Oh yea that definitely happens. Before bed set the stage. Watch things that make you happy or feel good. Something cute or even romantic. For bed play some soft music that helps with sleep. I’ll put a link for what I listen to below.
The stage for your dreams are set by your subconscious. Worry, fear, all natural things to feel when you’re going through this, will definitely show up in your dreams. It’s important to care for yourself as much mentally as you would physically right now. You got this girly!!!

Are you having trouble sleeping? This happened to me postpartum bc I was extremely stressed and getting super fragmented sleep. As long as you know that what you’re seeing is not real and it is only happening in that in between sleep and wake state I wouldn’t worry too too much but totally get being concerned. Def mention it to your therapist and psychiatrist if you have them

I experienced this at 4m postpartum and it’s definitely scary. Sending you lots of hugs, it does get better I’m now a year pp and it doesn’t happen anymore. If you have people you trust, I would talk to them about this and therapist as well. I slept with a lamp on till it stopped basically. I was never in total darkness, and would put soft music to sleep to or whatever music helps you feel relaxed. Remind yourself constantly that these things aren’t real, it’s your mind playing tricks on you; try to name things from your reality that bring you peace and comfort and use them as reminders of what’s real and what isn’t. Don’t navigate this alone, we aren’t meant to and sometimes asking for help is the best thing we can do. You got this!!
