Do you ever dream about your obsessions, and do you remember them through out the day? I have been having this happening to me, and i feel the sensations that were in the dream and it gives me a ton of anxiety. It scares me. I feel crazy. and the sensations and the memories of the dreams come intrusively. Am I crazy :(

I dont think you are crazy. If anything, I feel crazy. My thoughts are so intrusive and just seem to come out of no where. Sometimes my dreams are scary or weird, but it is my thoughts during the day that get me.

When my homosexuality obsession was bad it started coming into my dreams and gay dreams started increasing which freaked me out especially if I got a sexual feeling in the dream. I would wake up and start freaking out thinking I had a gay dream because I was gay. But not that my HOCD is better I haven't had any gay dreams. It's because your mind is so focused on the obsession. Nothing to worry about, dreams are not real and they don't make your obsessions real.

Thanks both of you for your responses.

When i mean i feel the sensations from the dream, i mean when i think about it enough, i feel like i physically feel it...Im afraid that i am hallucinating what i felt in the dream and it gives me ton of anxiety, and i cant get it out of my head.... It was a strange part of a dream... Do i sound like a crazy person, has this ever happened to anyone, or am i completely nuts? I am afraid of being schizophrenic, and this is just making me a anxious wreck, and i have been getting so frustrated over this...
