A co-worker years ago told me that her husband would mumble things like “Stop it, Mum” in a very annoyed tone. And the next day he would get short with her when she told him about it.

I dreamed that I was having a fight with my father, which included me swearing a lot. I heard my father come into my room to going "Oi! Oi-oi-oi! That's enough". Following talking in my sleep statements included "You want another go?". I can't remember what Dad said. But, he told me later on that I was swearing in my sleep.

That's a known problem for any bloke who's only 4"-11" tall.

(I'll get my coat.)

i apparently told my mum to "dont even think about it" in my sleep but i was actually awake and was talking to her kat who was about to jump on my face but mum didnt believe me.

I once had a partner years ago who would occasionally call out to his long-dead grandfather for help, but in Swedish: “ Hjälp mig morfar!” It was just a little unnerving.

Someone who is only 4 to 11 inches tall?

In my dream I beg and plead and cry for mum to stop so I can reach her. No matter how fast I run I can’t run as fast as her. She’s always looking back at me to see where I am and she’s smiling and her smile is just so beautiful but it also prompts me to run faster to reach her and never let her go. Hubby wakes me up at that point and oh man that pisses me off big time! I miss my mum 🥺

That kind of dream is not unique. I have a friend who lost his parents. He sometimes dreams about seeing them at the end of a supermarket isle, and as he tries to get closer, they forever keep out of his reach.

Never had that dream. Have not cried for Mum tho I thought I would have by now.

I had to put my grief on hold after Dad died to be a tower of strength for Mum. Maybe I am too good now at putting grief on hold? Two weeks after Demi was euthanised I suddenly cried for her, thought something similar might happen with Mum: not so far it hasn’t.

I don’t think I’ll ever be able to stop crying for my mum. I love showers - the noise of the water and the bathroom fan means you can cry more easily without others in the house hearing you. When you’re asleep you don’t have much control over crying. Dreams can betray deep seated grief and loss.

Anyway....I’m sorry if my posts in this topic have upset others.

Oh. I just caught this post as I was logging off.

Makes you wonder if our parents are trying to tell us a message eg : We see you but you’re not yet ready to be where we are. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Yes that's what upset him, his mum teased him about his height.

Yeah, but there is nobody on the planet that is 11 inches tall, never mind being 4 inches tall.

The biggest nightmare I have had is dreaming that I was involved in a game of cricket. Fielding a ball, I could not throw the ball back to the keeper as my arm would not move -- given that I was sleeping on my arm at the time. I had to wake up and let the blood flow down my arm again. The batting team in my dream scored 5 runs all ran. I did not sleep enough to find out if I was booted off the team.

Barbie is 11.5 inches (29 cm) tall,

👆 That was your “biggest” nightmare ffs???

That’s not even a bona fide nightmare. It’s just a boring dream. Dear God your life must be boring. 😐

Oh sorry. My biggest nightmare is one where a roid-raging body builder rips the spine out of a security guard, despite the guard's pleas for mercy.

Ahh that’s better!

Those types of nightmares tend to come to me AFTER being forced to watch shocking movies like Aliens or Predator. I have no idea why guys “enjoy” watching stuff like that. They’re dreadful IMO. 😩

Or what about Aliens vs Predator? Or the sequel? The kid succumbed to the alien embryo bursting out of him.

With that said, here is The Babylon Bee's compilation of the most awful things you've done in your wife's dreams.

You went and got coffee but you didn't get any coffee for her and you had octopus arms: You're such an inconsiderate cephalopod sometimes.
You made out with her sister inside the claw machine at Chuck E. Cheese: In front of children? Really?
You drank a Bud Light: Drinking woke beer? Really? What are you hiding from her?
You ignored her all day and just looked at your phone while she was being robbed by hot pirates: Yes, the pirates were super hot, but put down your phone, you jerk.
You didn't tell her you were turning into an Asian woman: Now she's married to an Asian woman. How is she supposed to explain that to her family?
When there was this new rule where you had to swim across this lake to vote and you could make it but she couldn't, you just laughed and were like "Haha, you can't vote!": You officially helped rig a sexist election.
You were Hitler, but on top of that, you didn't answer any of her phone calls: We're not sure which part of that is worse.
You won the lottery and divorced her and married your 5th-grade teacher in a big wedding in the high school gym: Now your wife is poor and brokenhearted.
She was at school and hadn't studied for the big test: Not technically your fault, but she blamed you for it anyway.
A giant tidal wave was coming over the mountains but you were like "Who cares? I love your best friend!" and then you made out with her best friend while she looked for the kids and she couldn't find the youngest and the tidal wave turned into split pea soup and you told her you always hated her split pea soup and that her fly was down: Don't pretend you didn't have that all planned out.



Now that you've been called out for your crimes, you had better get to work on making it up to her. Go!

Ask Bobby.

Ken proves it, the movie was little people on a set made their size.

I was making an underwhelming statement about a time I was incapacitated through the limitations of my movements being incorporated into my dreams. Sure, that dream is such a nothing dream. But, it is one of those dreams that I did not want to traumatise other posters reading. I suppose I could recall some nightmarish dreams. Like going for a late night walk and seeing a snake rear up at me and then strike.

Still not the dreams of a traumatised person.

What would you know? You have not been traumatised.
