What do you do if your friend talks about their weird dreams?

I would change the subject pretty quickly.

It’s what kids do. I see no problem in it!

It’s ok to fall asleep when that happens. ;)

“Smile & wave boys….smile & wave! XD

Who cares….....You are aware you have the ability to control who you hang out with, right?

Tell her that if she wants them analyzed there is a big group of Jellies who just love to do just that all day.

I say “hmmmm”, “really?”, “So how did that make you feel?” and other comments. I might also suggest a good counselor who understands dreams.

My friends don’t know any better, so I give their dreams strange meanings.

I’d either talk about the dream, if I was interested, or just change the subject. If it got to be a constant annoying thing, I’d tell my friend that I don’t really enjoy listening to her talk about her dreams and that I’d rather talk about something else.

Pick any object from their dream, and tell them that in dream symbolism, it means sex.
If you like, change it to homosexuality, if it makes them feel uncomfortable. They’ll shut up.

If you don’t care, tell her you don’t care. Not a problem.

Find out if these things really did happen to her, or if they are just dreams. If they really happened to her (or something similar, that was of an abusive nature) then try to offer to help her get some therapy to deal with the anxiety.

If they are, indeed truly just dreams and nothing more, then tell her that most people often have horrific dreams when they are under a lot of stress and then tell her to avoid drinking alcohol or eating spicy foods more than a few hours before she goes to sleep, because all of those things can contribute to bad dreams. Ask her if she would like to change her bedroom routine. If she says yes, tell her to stop eating or drinking at least 4 hours before bedtime, to stop watching TV at least an hour before bedtime, and only to read pleasant stories before she goes to sleep. She also might want to participate in a relaxing yoga routine about an hour before bedtime and then listen to some soothing, relaxing, sleep inducing music while she goes to sleep.

If she just wants to kvetch. Tell her you are not interested.

I ask them to give rest to their mind as soon in the night they are gonna face this again..lol!
