disturbing dreams, anyone?

[alien girl]

i had a strange dream last night. i had a baby girl and no husband. (i have neither in reality). and i felt so worried because i knew i didnt have the money to raise a kid. i was at work, puzzling over how i'd make it through, and then it occured to me: if i'm at work, who's taking care of the baby?
i didnt remember hiring a babysitter, so i figured i left the baby alone. i thought if i should go home and decided against it, since i needed the money and if i went home i won't get paid. i shrugged and decided to just wait the few hours till my shift ended. probably nothing will happen to her if she's in her crib and can't get out.
and then a thought occured to me that i'm a monster. i thought hard about how i can be so cold and selfish about this, and the answer appeared to me: because i don't really have a baby, and this is a dream, and somewhere in the back of my mind i'm aware of the fact that it's a dream and that's why i don't care, because i would never, ever be so irresponsible and heartless if this was real.
normally, the awareness that this is a dream wakes me up, but for some reason that didnt work this time and the dream just shifted to another dream, one i cant remember.
i think the reason why i had this dumb and disturbing dream is because of guilt: i saw a feral cat yesterday that limped badly, thought about taking him/her to the vet and decided i dont have much money. (they dont do anything for free around here and the shelters are all filled up). sometimes i take sick feral cat to the vet and sometimes i dont because i cant afford it. i run into sick cats a lot, because we have millions of them all over the place.
so this morning i decided to take it to the vet and the hell with everything. i'm going to call the vet at four pm because that's when she opens and go with my niece and see if i can catch the cat by putting food in the cage and closing it on time. then we'll take it to the vet together. of course, i can do this alone, but with my niece it's more fun.
did anyone else have a strange dream he wants to tell and what does he think triggered it? doesnt have to be from last night, a fresh dream still warm, could be old, moldy ones with flies circling above. just kidding.

I had a recent dream that I was a graffiti artist (I used to be) with some supernatural abilities and psychic power. I was spray paint messages about the universe onto walls. A few other people who I used to know were trying to kill me.
I can never speak in my dreams.

It also sounds like fear of major life changes. Are you starting a new job or planning to move out of your current living situation? The idea of suddenly having a baby to raise could be spawned from fear of having new responsibilities heaped on you.

A dream like this speaks of confidence and creativity. In real life are you generally artistic and do you often express yourself in artistic ways?

I can never speak in my dreams.

I rarely speak in mine, except in lucid dreams.

Most of the time I don't remember my dreams. But there are nights, the worse is usually dreams about Catholic Seminary.

I had a dream a few nights ago that I was living in some sort of dorm with my ex and she was all kinds of messed up because her kid died, and her husband left her, and she wanted to die. I would check up on her but I don't think she wants to deal with me. I don't think I'll ever get to have another gf, or be able to hold down a job and support myself. I'll just be broke and alone until I die.

the only thing i can think about is i want to advertise a blog of mine and have to take classes to learn how to do it. and i haven't been able to do a very good job so far. and i have to pay for the classes with my own money and dont have much.

I am artistic through novel writing and drawing. I also used to graffiti in real life.
The speaking thing can be frustrating at times.

I often have dreams. Nightmares recently of my friends passing. Though there was nothing I could do for her she was in an entirely different state and its been four years about since her death. But I always have nightmares when there have been shootings at places.

Also dream about the characters for my stories that I've created. I often find more twists and turns to their story lines.

Climbed up a hill, made several attempts at it, and launched into the sky thereafter. Strangely enough, I was aware that I was dreaming the entire time.

I don't think my dreams are disturbing more than they are bizarre.

The worst dreams I have are when I wake up from one dream into another and when I really awake up (which is always middle of the night with those dreams) I am absolutely terrified and don't know whether I'm awake or asleep (because they are always bad dreams).

Then there is the sleep paralysis, I can't describe the absolute terror at not being able to move, when your mind is awake and your laying there mentally screaming at your body to move and it won't.
