I have repetitive dreams also. Usually it is something that is bothering me... I dream about it. I wake up. Go back to sleep... dream about it again. All night long... it seems. I wake up exhausted. Do you experience carp like that, MC?
Yes, all my life, but that's not what I meant here. I have this..affliction. If I hear a song, almost any song, but usually one I know know only a line or two of, it lodges in my head, I can't get rid of it. I know that happens to everyone now and then, but it happens to me all the time. All. The. Time. I live in fear of catching a fragment of tune from a passing car, or from being in a store. No matter what I am doing, that song will be there, running through my head.
It happens with thoughts too, but songs are the worst. If something is bothering me, and no matter what I try to think about, it won't leave my head, and the words go round and round and round.
Dreams - I've had repeat nightmares all my life. Horrific things.
I am sorry to know you have things like that too. What causes this? Just..stress? Well, not the nightmares, I've had those since I was born. My mother told me I had night terrors all through babyhood and started walking in my sleep by the time I was three.
But the repeptive thoughts/song thing, obviously many must suffer from it, since they make remedies for it. I hope the RR keeps helping with the song thing. It's a great relief, so far.
