Crazy dreams and detox......

[RawNnyc]

Okay, well I haven't had any significant detox symptoms yet (been on raw 100% since Feb 13th. - 10 days today!!!) except for maybe a little bit of a runny nose, which has actually kind of cleared up now that I think of it......anyway, the one thing that I've noticed is that I'VE BEEN HAVING THE CRAAAAAAZIEST DREAMS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! REALLY ODD!!!!

For example, a couple of nights ago, I had a dream that there was this old old lady outside of my Grandparents house, in the backyard. But it wasn't my Grandparents house anymore, me and my fiance were living there. Well anyway, this lady was screaming and screaming and I kept throwing things at her to hurt her and make her stop!!!?? Like bricks!!! Really heavy things. I just wanted her to stop whatever she was saying! (Although I don't recall now what she was saying.......) anyway, the more I threw things though, the more I got scared that she was going to really do something bad to me, but I still kept throwing things at her! Then, it got really scary and I ran in the house, laid down on the floor behind the sofa to hide (the sliding door is very near the sofa) and she kept getting bigger and louder and closer, but she was still locked outside. Then I got soooo scared, I woke up!!! Sooo, weird weird dreams like that for like maybe the past 3 or 4 nights. Last night I even thought to myself, what the heck am I going to dream about tonight?!?! And I barely had dreams before that............but then again, my sleep is less disturbed now for some reason......like I'm sleeping more sound and getting up less to go to the bathroom........(I have IC)

Annnnnnnnyway, anyone ever experience this as a detox symptom? It's got to be, right? It's just too weird.....

Also, it's like one second I'm so happy and loove life and the next second, I'm so so so edgy.... I live in NYC and as I was walking outside, I was getting SOOOOOOOOOOOO MAD in my head at everyone who was slowly walking in front of me., even a person with a cane! (this is SOOOOOO NOT TYPICAL OF MY CHARACTER - I SWEAR).....like I had NO PATIENCE AT ALL!!! That is not like me unless I don't feel good, like the flu, and it's got to be really bad, like where I feel like I'm going to faint or something..... although now I feel totally fine, no flu or anything.......

Most of my detox dreams involve eating cooked food, or living and working in a sausage factory (I hate sausages and haven't eaten one in over 25 years), or a bakery, or a favorite ethnic restaurant.

In my dreams I eat these things with abandon. I wake up horrified, until I'm alert enough to realize it's just a dream. :D

I'm new to raw (30 days) and my dreams and sleep have changed too. My experience is that what may have been repressed either in the psyche or body, needs to come up and out, and eating raw is one way to allow that process. "Better out, than in" as they say. I find it is best just to witness any troubling thoughts and dreams, and be as little reactive as possible. I like to give a little thought to the dream images though. What could the Grandmother represent to you? Some small little old lady that grew into a huge and threatening force.

During this lengthy fast, I had one night I drempt I was shooting at someone who I thought was in bed.........luckily the person wasn't home :D :confused:

While raw my dreams are different. During the first week of detox I dream of all the cooked food that i had recently been eating. I also get extremely VIVID dreams. Then I just don't dream. I get the DEEPEST sleep ever without waking up once for 8 hours. Eventually after a few months I'll get random dreams of food I havn't had in YEARS as my body detoxes deep into my cells.

i have been having really vivid dreams too. and psychic.

last night, i dreamed that i was driving somewhere and the brakes went out. i was weaving in and out of traffic without a care in the world. for some reason, i didn't have any anxiety about having no brakes. i just figured i would stop when it was time.

well, today i get up and go to the doctor. first thing. and on the way there, the brakes light goes off in the car. it was out of brake fluid or something.

weird.

WOAH! That is really freaky!! Like your dream was trying to tell you your brakes needed fluid or they might fail on you...

i've had some crazy (but cool) ones too.
this week i dreamt that i was in this house where either ghosts or aliens were trying to get me to do something. they (a man and child) had flyers that had on it what i was supposed to attend. the man had bloody eyes. it was uncomfortable and only a little scary. i avoided them by going outside in the snow (where they couldn't be) and noticed a man snorkeling in the snow. he was just moseying along and i thought what a fantastic idea it was to snorkel in the snow.

the next dream was upsetting when i woke up. i dreamt my dad has cancer which we all called carcinogenesis. i only knew about this like a day before he died. after he died i went about my day and normal activities but wasn't really sad. i knew i'd miss him a lot but somehow i knew i could talk to him still. when i woke up that feeling away though. i was really sad and felt also bad about how i wasn't that sad in my dream.

i think it's a great idea to write down your dreams before you forget them. i did this for a time and remembered even more of them. i think to myself how creative i am for thinking up these weirdo scenarios. not sure if these dreams are a result of eating more raw or not.

i'd love to hear of even more of everyone's dreams!

Hey RawnNYC - I am glad I searched and found this stream on active Dreaming and that I am not alone in experiencing strange new sleep patterns. I actually thought I might be pregnant again since my dreams are so wild & weird lately. I actually slept walked the other night and talked the entire time. It freaked my poor husband out & he tells me I am talking very loudly almost every night.
Weird huh? I am not even 100% raw but mostly. I am also working out 3X per week with a trainer so maybe that has something to do with it too.
Don't dream about food much, but can relate to the premonition dreams as well. Those are always sort of eerie.
Can't wait to see what happens in March as I am doing a 30 challenge.
Anyway...sweet dreams :)

Last night was acutally the first night in almost 17 days of being 100% raw that I don't remember a weird vivid dream....hmmmm......but before that, they were SO REAL. Some of them seemed to be from my childhood, even though I didn't remember those things actually happening. Plus, they're too weird to have ACTUALLY happened, but maybe something like that? I'd love to know the truth! And I kind of hope that these crazy dreams (even though some seem nightmarish) don't go away because it's entertaining! hahahahahah:D Like a movie!
