So, apparently having horrifying dreams about being murdered or crushed could be a sign that your body is gearing up for a fun little autoimmune disease like lupus. Who knew that your subconscious mind was just trying to warn you about potential health issues? Thanks, brain, for keeping me on my toes.
But fear not, my fellow dreamers, because CNN is here to save the day with their Sleep But Better newsletter series. Because nothing says “sweet dreams” like signing up for a newsletter that promises to help you achieve better sleep. I can already feel the nightmares melting away as I type in my email address.
In case you were wondering, these nightmares aren’t just your run-of-the-mill bad dreams. Oh no, they’re intense and horrifying, lasting well into the day. Just imagine waking up from a nap only to find out that a serial killer is still after you. Talk about a rude awakening.
And let’s not forget about the connection between autoimmune diseases and these terrifying dreams. Apparently, if you have lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, or multiple sclerosis, you’re more likely to experience these distressing dreams. Because why not add a little extra terror to your already stressful health condition?
But hey, at least we now know that our immune system dysfunction can mess with our brains and make us dream about all sorts of crazy stuff. Who needs horror movies when you have your own body to provide the scares?
And of course, let’s not forget about the impact of these nightmares on our mental wellbeing. Because nothing says “good night’s sleep” like waking up in a cold sweat every night, right? It’s like a twisted version of Groundhog Day, except instead of Bill Murray, we have our own personal demons to keep us company.
So, while the experts try to figure out how to stop our immune system from giving us the heebee-jeebees in our sleep, let’s all just try to hang in there. And maybe invest in some extra nightlights and a dream catcher or two. Because when your own body is out to get you, a little extra protection can’t hurt. Good luck, dream warriors. You’re gonna need it.
