I suffer with fibromyalgia so sometimes I have trouble sleeping and am waking several times in the night. As result of this I've experienced many non-recurring dreams and nightmares.

Last night I woke several times in the night with these dreams:

Dream 1

I was in a small room with my husband Tony, not the house we live in but like a smaller version of one we used to live in only the windows weren't going from wall to ceiling like they did. I was sat at my computer and Tony was just stood up, we were conversing about something but I couldn't recall what we were saying. I then looked at the window and noticed that there was a flood that had gone about 3 inches past the bottom of the window and the whole world outside looked like a big ocean. I said to Tony "wow, the water is really high up." He walked to the window and looked through it, then a big splash of water smacked into the window causing it to shatter and the water started to pour in. Tony leaped to the side as the water gushed in and I let out a loud scream. At this point the dream started to get a bit lucid as I thought not so much about the water filling the room but that it was running onto the electrics and was going to electrocute us, and then I woke up.

Dream 2

Me and Tony were in what looked like an old church building with loads of brick-a-brack, and we were playfully smacking each others' faces, but each time he hit back it was harder than mine. I attempted to hit him and he ducked, so I pretended I was going to hit him and then I gave him a really quick and hard slap. Now he wasn't my husband anymore but a girl in a long grey woolen coat, and she cowered away from me and began to cry quietly. I apologized realising I hit her way too hard, but even though it was a girl it was still Tony. I turned my attention away from her and started pulling at a drawer to an old chest of drawers. At the bottom I found old tapes I owned as a child and old game cartridges. I said "now we've found the jackpot" and pulled out a cassette of the musical tales of red riding hood. I was excited about finding old stuff I used to own as a child and began discussing how I could convert the tapes into digital format if they still had the data on them and hadn't rusted, and I could hear clearly the song "it's a wonderful time for a walk in the woods so I'm happily on my way" being played loudly and clearly in my head. I looked again at the young girl and went to comfort her and tell her about the tape of red riding hood, but she winced and cringed away from me and began to quietly cry again.

Dream 3

I think this was becoming lucid at some point. I was saying to someone around me that when I'm unwell I dream of teeth falling out or being pulled out. I pulled at a loose tooth that had shattered into a small stub, and then I pulled out another next to it and began to worry that I had an extra large gap in my teeth. I looked at the second one I pulled out and it had a small black dot on it but it wasn't necessary for me to have removed it. I then noticed other teeth were loose and able to be pulled out and I didn't want them to come out in the dream, I think this is where it started to get a little lucid.

Dream 4

I was in a very dark room with a single light shining down towards a rotastack hamster system. Inside were lots of little hamsters and a shrew or gopher which was inside it. I had to get the shrew out without letting the hamsters escape as I needed to take it to a vet for examination and then given to a sanctuary, but every time I pulled a section apart more hamsters were trying to crawl out of them. I attempted to trap the shrew in one of the units and seal it off, but I didn't have enough stopper pieces to stop the hamsters or the shrew from escaping. The shrew also used its weight to knock apart the units it was being held captive in, so I was juggling the shrew, bits of rotastack, and trying to stop the hamsters from getting away. The shrew was trying to turn its head to bite my hand. I knew if it got its teeth embedded into my skin it could easily rip off one of my fingers, so I was struggling with it to prevent it from getting its teeth around my fingers. Hamsters were running all over the floor, and there was also a large black spider the size of a football entering the scene. It raised its front legs readying to grab and paralyze a hamster if it ran into its path. I was now desperately trying to stop the hamsters from going near the spider and trying to stop more from escaping the exposed tunnels whilst remaking the system with one hand and trying to hold the shrew and avoid being bitten by it with the other hand.

Despite the dreams developing some lucid moments I wasn't able to control them to stop the bad things happening. It's like as if I wanted to play it out.
