Ressurecting this thread because I am having troubling dreams.
They are packed with more action than a Harrison Ford film. I am running, jumping, climbing over obstacles, trudging through mud and slogging through horrible weather. The scenes change rapidly and never the same in subsequent dreams.
I am trying to get somewhere, not running away from anything. But it is frantic. I do things, like steal bicycles and in advertantly damage property in my quest. I have no idea what I seek only that I must press on and get there quickly.
What is most curious is that when I wake, I am utterly exhausted and my body aches as though I had actually done all the things I dreamed. In fact I ususally wake unresolved and feeling like I have just narrowly escaped death or disaster. Sometimes (often) my heart is pounding like a very fast hammer in my ears.
My partner says I am dreaming because the pain from my rheumatoid arthritis is making me ache. I don't think so. I think the pain is added to RA from the action in dreams.
