I was wondering if anyone's experiened heart dreams, if that makes any sense. :D

I have really vivid, exciting dreams and recently I've sometimes dreamed about my heart beating hard or fast, then I wake up and it IS beating hard and fast.

One time I even dreamed I had multiple scary-feeling ectopics and I woke up and I was worried that what if I had those ectopics in reality and they just transferred over into the dream?

For example recently I was dreaming that I was in this building with an old friend and all of a sudden we hear a noise and it's some kind of machine in the building about to blow up, so we dash down the stairs to exit, and I feel my heart beating fast like in real life. (I was somehow happy and comfortable about it in the dream, because I knew it was 'healthy' to exercise like this.) Then later on in the dream I was dodging lightning bolts, running from the building to a parking lot, and a plane falls out of the sky and nearly lands on me. I wake up and my heart's pounding away like a jackhammer. :D

However it wasn't really a nightmare, I wasn't 'that' scared, though running around and dodging the lighning thing was very unnerving. I've had nightmares before where I wake up and I am scared and I understand that it's perfectly normal to have a pounding heart.

I just find it annoying because most of the time in my dreams I'm able to run for ages without getting tired (or fly!) and I don't like my real-life worries to creep in on this 'fun time'. (As you can tell I really do like my dreams. XD)

Hi Hun,

Its just that the nature of your dream has triggered the fight or flight response and that rush of adrenaline which causes your heart to beat fast - i get this if having a bad dream or where i'm having to run away from something!

hope that helps xcassix
