'My dreams in pregnancy are so terrifying that I'm scared to go to sleep'

ok.co.uk:

I’ve had some very bizarre dreams in my life. One where I was part of the Spice Girls and telling my old high school about the dramas that took place on the set of the Spice World the movie.

Another when my cat tried to eat my face after I failed to feed him in time and a rather unfortunate one involving me, Simon Cowell and a water bed.That one I'd rather forget.

But the dreams during my third trimester of pregnancy are bat s*** crazy. Horrifyingly real and disturbingly dark. I’m terrified by my subconscious and what the hell it all means.

Vivid dreams are apparently very common in pregnancy. Women report that they feel more real than anything they have ever experienced and can often take a terrifying turn.The cause?
