Random thoughts

Does anyone experience random thoughts? I find myself doing this mostly when I am right on the verge of falling asleep, or waking up from sleeping all night and trying to go back to sleep. They are just the most random thoughts in the world! I can be thinking about painting a door one second, and then about playing in the rain the next. I do not think these thoughts are weird while I am thinking them, then its like I wake up more and am like whoa, why in the world am I thinking these things? Sometimes just random names, or random faces and places pop into my head to. Is anyone familiar with this? It has sent my mind for a loop today! Thanks.

Dear Mallory,
I definitely have done this one many times. I think that when we do this is when we are stressed out over something. Get your anxiety under control, and I am sure these "racing thoughts" will dissipate...Hope this helps...God Bless!!!!

Hi Mallory,

Are you making notes on your thoughts and working them through to a positive conclusion?

Remember my first reply to you? What about the thread that covered that on April 4, 2009?

I still haven't heard from you. I am ready to pray and work with you. Are you not ready to give this up?

I know, I am like a sheep dog that's ready to lay my life down to get you to safety. Do you have another friend that would do that? I hope you do.

I am watching very closely to see when you appear to be straying. It's not personal, it is just what He has tasked me with.

I am sorry I have not replied to you. I have not written down my thoughts, Its almost like im afraid to see them. Sometimes I am so scared that there is something mentally wrong with me. I had a WEIRD dream last night, so I have been really struggling today. Thank you for your words of kindness and your prayers. I know that God has a reason for everything, and I know he can make this into something good, im just really struggling right now.

I have a different take on this. I sometimes get weird random thoughts right before I fall asleep, especially if I wake up in the middle of the night. I think this is normal, because it's like you're in a state between waking and sleeping. Also, ALL people sometimes have weird dreams, scary dreams, great dreams, etc. In other words, sometimes as we're recovering from anxiety we want to attribute everything to anxiety, or that what we're experiencing is not "normal".

I personally wouldn't give either issue much weight. I certainly don't think you should try to analyze thoughts you have right before you go to sleep or your dreams. Good luck.
