Autistic Dreams

Damojo

I know the most boring thing anyone can do is tell you about their dreams, so I'll keep this short and specific.

This year, I've been having a lot of dreams in which I'm particularly Autistic. Last night, it was two people sitting down beside me in a restaurant and trying to start a conversation. I couldn't say a word and just wanted them to go away. Even in my dreams, I have an internal monologue going and this was laughing its a— off: "OMG! You are like soooo Autistic! lol" I still thought it was funny when I woke up. I also often have Autistic dreams where I assertively advocate for myself, which might be a promising sign.

Does this mean I'm past the point of impostor syndrome, or have my conscious ruminations invaded my subconscious?

  • Your brain is either trying to come to terms with it or playing with possible scenarios so you are prepared.

    It is trying to see how it will feel if you are in a restaurant and this happens.

    That you find it funny suggests it is not a threat and you are comfortable with it, which is good. It also likely means you accepting it. I don't think it is making light of it to dismiss it.

    I am trying to process something, brought back up by my diagnosis, but never really dealt with in the past, it is very painful. It reached a peak where I had not just memories and I could visualise something, but a full real life flashback as if the person was in front of me and I could feel them. It was just after I woke up. It was scary. These things are your brain trying to process stuff and make sense of it. I was hoping I would find it easier to sleep, but I am not sure my brain is yet done. 

    I think being comfortable and happy with something is a good sign for you
