I've been, for the last couple of nights, having dreams that have me thinking. There are three that stand out. The first involved me being in the ocean. But on a boat or something, but in the water, deep down. I don't know if you read my blog about thalassophobia, but yeah, I'm not a fan of the ocean that way. The second was probably more common. In the dream I had a tooth fall out. I saw it in the mirror, had the 'oh shit' reaction, then decided it wasn't a big deal and went on my way like nothing happened. The last one had me in bed. I was asleep, or on my phone, or something, and I suddenly peeled back the top of the mattress. This revealed that the inside of my mattress was infested with spiders. But again, I didn't freak out, I just calmly put the mattress back down, and went to sleep.
Standard nightmare material, right? But what has me thinking about them, is the fact that I didn't have the standard nightmare reaction. There was no fear, no worry, no anxiety, nothing that you would expect. I just wonder what it means. For example, losing teeth it's supposed to mean you're worried about something, it even worried about your teeth, right? But I brushed it off like it wasn't a worry.
So, what's the psychology on that? Things that should be causing negative feelings, aren't. Anybody know?
