I used to be able to watch and read all sorts of genres, including thrillers, police procedurals, and horror. I found them interesting, but it stayed at that.
But for the last year, whenever I watch or read these, it inhabits my dreams for days afterwards. And it's not just replaying scenes, but my mind translating the story space into my own creations in the theme with the voices and characters of what I had experienced.
The latest example was that I just finished watching the BBC series Apple Tree Yard. All night I had constant dreams, where I did the above.
Is this common for other people? Could it be a mind in need of creative outlet? Could it be an AuDHD thing? Could it be a trauma thing?
I fear I may have to give up things that my creative/dream mind will latch onto in my dreams, because this scares me greatly.
Thoughts are so greatly appreciated.
