Vivid dreams confused with reality

In the beginning when I was cosleeping with my son, I would dream someone was literally ripping him from my arms. I’d be screaming in my sleep and my boyfriend would have to keep waking me up. It’s scary, all the hormone shifts and the lack of sleep will do that!
It’s common. I had really bad nightmares during pregnancy. They felt so real Postpartum I had wild ones too. Still do from time to time too
First, I want to say that you don't sound crazy. Post partum is hard for so many different reasons, all happening at the same time. If you are having a difficult time discerning between dreams and reality, you should talk with a mental health professional. One thing is having really vivid dreams, bad nightmares, but not being able to know what was real or not is not ok. I would try to see someone who specializes in post partum mental health to help navigate this.
Postpartum I heard music in my head for about 9 months straight. It’s stress. I never told anyone either lol
The dreams is the part nobody talks about. I had the most vivid and uncharacteristic of me type of dreams. It was like I was watching someone else’s dreams.
You aren’t crazy I remember being so sleep deprived I was confused how I woke in my bed after I was putting her to sleep 🫠 idk if I dreamed getting up with her or what but it’s just the sleep deprivation plus hormones and all
I started keeping a note on my phone where I’d write my pregnancy dreams down😂
I get vidid dreams a lot it’s supposedly due to our change in hormones while we’re pregnant
