Night mares?

[Tillygizmo]

Hi everyone, I am just wondering if I am the only one who has nightmares about something going wrong with my chins. Sometimes I dream that I forgot to feed them for a whole day or that there is an emergency and I can't reach them.....

I am aware of the paranoia included in this.. but just wondering if I am alone here

We had a whole thread on this elsewhere and it seems a lot of us have nightmares about our chinchillas.

I believe that dreams/nightmares depict in images our hopes, dreams, frustrations and fears and since we're so involved with our chinchillas, we dream about them a lot. At least some of us do.

I swear I dream about my chinchillas at least four nights a week and they are always similar dreams where I have some chinchillas in another cage that I am not even sure are mine but they are in my care. I can't remember if I've fed them and I don't even know if they're alive or not and so I look into the cage and sometimes they are alive and I'm relieved and sometimes they are all dead. Very disturbing.

I constantly wake up after a bad dream and check on the chinchillas. It is ten times worse when I have a pregnant female due soon or new babies

I have nightmares about sharks eating me and being attacked by werewolves, so far no nightmares about the chins.

I do think my chins have nightmares though because sometimes Mick St. John will make his warning call while he's sleeping. If I hazarded a guess I would say he is also having nightmares about sharks eating him and being attacked by a werewolf because let's face it that is truly terrifying!

I don't have nightmares about my guy, but I have nightmares about rescues/pet store animals *ALL THE FREAKIN' TIME*! The worst one ever combined an "upscale" Medieval Christmas dinner theater event I waitressed at for several years with a pair of abandoned chins and their kits. I ended up chasing a frantic, lonely male chinchilla around the hall in a peasant dress with my top flapping open as I crawled under linen tablecloths rattling a dish of cheerios. Meanwhile, the other wait staff wouldn't leave the female and day old babies the heck alone even though I'd locked them in the dish room.

Every once in 'a blue moon' I do - but then again I am one of those people who hardly ever remember my dreams

LMAO, I think we might be related. I have crazy crazy dreams like that and they're so epic and detailed. I go to bed at night to rest and I'm exhausted in the morning sometimes, lol.

I 'think' the meaning of my reoccurring dream about having all these chins that are in another cage and I either don't know about them or I've forgotten about them, maybe means that I am perhaps a bit overwhelmed with chin-stuff and am losing control. Or, it could be that I just worry too much about keeping them all safe and sound. I really don't know, but I dream about chins a lot and often they are not mine and sometimes they're not even chinchillas, they're guinea pigs and I don't even have a guinea pig. :wacko:

I sometimes dream that i left the door leading outside open or something so that he could run away. That is a BAD dream!
