Triggering: Dreams (Sorry not sure where else to put this)

[LostHERmind]

I wasn't sure where to put this- because its sort of health-related and a bunch of other stuff too... and I'm just confused and nervous over this!

I completely forgot about this until I was looking through the forums, but I've been having some dreams lately where I'm in them, but forcing myself to be ill in them.

I thought, at first, when I woke up today after one of these dreams- it must just be because of something I read. I have this series I adore to read where a character I admire and adore has some troubles and goes through a small stint of trying to... end his life through not eating and purging when he does. I've never done that, though.

Anyway, I thought that might have been why, but I've had dreams like this before. Where I am having a normal sort of day- a very realistic dream, and then I go off and hide and then just am sick as hell. I've never had an ED myself, and I hate throwing up. I don't feel sick when I wake up and the only thing I can really think about illness in real life is that I've had a cold on and off for a few weeks. It bothers me a lot though, because I can definitely feel the entire process in my dream and I despise it there as much as in real life, and I want to make sure its not causing me any harm.

HEY

Well I don't think dreams can cause you harm. Have you tried googling this?
Here is a link

But i'm baffled, this is an odd situation.

HOWEVER

Maybe you are dreaming due to the books you are reading? I find if I have watched a film that day, my dream is somewhat about it. If I have spoken to someone for AGEs, my dream involves them

Do a Google on this.

I skimmed through that, reading the comments strictly about normal dreaming. Sorry, I did find it a little helpful, but it just seemed like more of what I was starting to think for the most part. Unfortunately the nature of that thread is a big 'NO' for me because I tend to get petrified of a lot of things- and that is one of them. Thank you for the link c:

I think this is more for Mental Health. I do not believe this is causing you bodily harm but merely you having vivid dreams. This is more about psychologist events and would be your mind causing harm, not a physical ailment. So I'll move this there after I answer.

I don't think this is anything to worry about. Better question is WHY are you worried? It's a dream. I have strange dreams all the time. I dreamed about a green blob eating me and my friends

But...I don't think it's anything to worry about. I understand wanting to know why you are dreaming about it. But the answer seems to have been answered by yourself - reading a book about a boy who is purging.

Same as, I played a zombie game recently and so last night I had a dream about zombies despite never seeing a zombie in my own life. That's just how dreams work sometimes. Nobody knows the real reason of dreams, or what they really are. But I think it's safe to say it was likely the book you read.

Since you've had the dream, or one similar, before though - it's likely just because maybe you were sick or someone you knew was sick. Then you dreamt of being sick.

In this case, I do not think your mind could really hurt you. If you notice you have a very nasty taste in your mouth and a sore throat or something along those lines when you wake up, then you might see a doctor about throwing up due to a dream.

Otherwise, it sounds like you are just dreaming and it shouldn't be causing any harm. I hope this helps.

Okay, thanks for the answers c:
I guess I'm mostly worried over old things- I used to get called bulimic and I wasnt sort of thing- but anyway yeah it does seem like I was a little over worried.
Thanks for the answers and I guess this is now solved. c:
