A question here. Has anyone ever dreamt of having a meltdown before. I have on several occasions dreamt of having very severe violent meltdowns usually when I am stressed and when I wake up from these dreams I always feel as if I have actually vented out a lot of emotional stress.

Has anyone experienced this?

Yes, sometimes I have dreamt about having a meltdown. It's usually the same kind of thing that triggers it as in real life, though I have trouble remembering exactly what happened afterward.

Yes and it's always in some public place where people are starting at me eyes bulging and mouths hanging open.

Yes, I have. I also dreamed that I had to leave home and go into a care home.

*Raises hand* It was a fear of mine, perhaps; with the major difference of being unable to communicate with speech at all. The places would be when people were around.

I had a dream like that last week, unfortunately I didn't fall back to sleep.

Yes, this happens to me. I'm glad to know I'm not alone in this.

I actually had one in my sleep recently. That is the first time that has ever happened to me. It woke me up. It was pretty scary.

I have dreams of having meltdowns, and it's always a relief to wake up from those.
The other night I had a dream where my boyfriend and 3 of my mum's friends were at my house, and suddenly a social worker entered my house and started spilling out all these embarrassing things I had done as a child (in real life) due to my ASD/ADHD. I was really embarrassed and angry because I didn't want my boyfriend knowing about my condition and the embarrassing things it made me do. I had a huge meltdown, and for some reason the meltdown made him go home and not want to love me any more. The meltdown involved shouting, crying, swearing and just embarrassing myself further in front of my boyfriend and my mum's friends. I spent the rest of the dream recovering from this meltdown and trying to get him to love me again.

Then I woke up and breathed a sigh of relief that it was just a dream. :lol:
