NOT LOOKING FOR DREAM INTERPRETATION OR WHAT THESE DREAMS 'MEAN'. NOT INTO THAT HOCUS POCUS
Since the start of this year I've been getting some strange dreams.
I dream that I am lying in my bed, and in my dream I wake up and find my bed full of of either large spiders or full of ants and sometimes other bugs. Sometimes when I 'wake up' in my dream I see a spider the size of my hand on a wall near me or on the roof above me, or if my bed isn't full of these nasty things already I dream that a spider crawls into my bed.
Then I seriously freak when I wake up because I'm still kinda dreaming (especially since I was dreaming about waking up to that) and I jump out of my bed terrified, then it takes a few seconds for me to wake up properly, realize it's a dream and go back to bed. It's pretty disturbing waking up feeling that you and your bed are covered in ants in the middle of the night :L It's been happening more frequently recently, and sometime's I'm worried about sleeping in case it happens.
Why does this happen? Is it normal? Would something help make it happen less often? It's quite terrifying.
