Nightmares

[Jerzzygirl]

Lizzie told us yesterday about the wedding nightmare she had and wouldnt you know it last night I had my wedding nightmare. I dreamt that I was getting my hair done at the Riu and going back to the room to get dressed and then I realized that I had forgotton my dress at home. I was in a panic. I was so upset. How could I forget my dress LOL Anyone else having nightmares?

Wow, wedding planning anxiety can put such worries in our subconsious, can't it? I had a weird dream/nightmare last night that my current fiance kept being interchanged in scenes w/my past fiance and it was freaking me out. Then my ex-fiance made me wear this wedding dress that was red and ghastly... Then on the way to the church, we were in a car accident and just took off on foot to make it to the church on time. Then just a bunch of really weird scenes that can totally be read into but I'm leaving it alone. I'm assuming we'll have these dreams/nightmares till we finally have our day go smoothly and all's well, huh?

Sorry to barge into your Jamaica area (I'm a cabo girl) but I had a nightmare when I was in the midst of all my decision making on the big stuff... during my reception the power went out and there was a flood.. next thing I knew my DJ just left! I had to run across the resort to rent a speaker system from Mariana at Dreams and of course it wasn't working.. on the way back to the party I had to go through a large valley and all these little casitas that had old people in them... what the heck did that all mean!! lol I haven't had any since then, but that was a doozie... just that really stressed out feeling the entire time.

Oh my goodness, that sounds like such a lil Los Cabos DW Indiana Jones adventure! I won't even try to read into it but definitely interesting stuff.

Wonder if the guys have nightmares or its just us since we do most of the planning? I did have the swich-er-roo fiance nightmare and I just tried to forget that one.. My groom kept changing from my exhusband to my fiance.... I needed a zanax when I woke up that morning!!! LOL

DOH!!! Yeah, that was me this morning as FI asked me if I was ok and I was still a bit freaked out...

You know, that's a good question too about wondering if the men ever have nightmares like these. They aren't as concerned about it going just right, they really trust that no matter what, the wedding is happening so what's the worse that could happen. That's what I think but I plan on asking FI just out of curiosity (sans mentioning the switching groom detail...)

I have nightmares almost every night. My latest one was that I went to pick up my dress and they showed me the receipt saying it would be in in June and I freaked and was like my wedding is in May! Even though in real life my wedding is in October, totally bizarre, but a lot of my nightmares have had to do with my dress!

I am having nightmares almost every night! It is driving me crazy! The other night, I had one where I was not ready for the wedding and it was raining. They moved the venue, my dad had to drive a rental car to get to the new place, drove down the wrong road, this road was a flooded river and full of hippos! We almost drowned and when we got there, no one was there. I also keep dreaming that I forget my dress. Or that it is just too rainy for the plane to take off and we get to Jamaica too late (you know, you have to be there 2 days before you can get married)! I am going crazy!

Oh Amanda - try to relax! I had nightmares on and off the last few months, and I really didn't sleep well just before we left, but everything was perfect in the end! A few months ago my dreams got really bad, and I literally stopped all wedding related activity (except for BDW)... that really helped. I was so stressed about OOT bags, centerpieces and details, that I'd forgotten it was supposed to be fun Take a step back and try to relax.
