A dream that scared me

Last night in whatever sleep I could get, I had a dream that I am in ICU of a real hospital, half concious.

A female nurse is removing my tshirt and bra and checking my chest

I was fully exposed atleast waist above. Didn't see below waist in the dream

Then I heard beeping sound. Maybe it would be the ECG monitor

I am always normal in terms of real exam but don't know why last night's dream really scared me.

My heart was pounding when I woke up on dream ending

Sounds like an interesting dream. Sorry it scared you. I hope you were able to calm down soon after.

Yes I was able to calm down but it took time

What a shame your dream didnt continue and get to removing the lower part of your clothes

That's scary because when you're coming to after illness, injury or surgery, you can experience a phase of consciousness where you're slowly coming to and realizing something is/was very wrong. It can take your brain a moment to catch up and realize it really was just a dream.

@cal1082 yeah I know, but this dream was random. I have not been admitted to hospital for surgery or illness in the recent past.

Last I was admitted for a day in October last year.

But yes that time I was hooked to ECG like I dreamt. I had fainted back then due to extreme stress

But nothing of that sort happened in last few days. Still I got this dream

My heart was pounding when I woke up on dream ending

Too bad there wasn't a doctor available to place a cold stethoscope on your bare chest and listen to that pounding heart.
