If you have been a victim of this particular strain of nightmare, you aren’t alone! it is weirdly common, seemingly particularly for exotic pet owners, to have nightmares about terrible things happening to our pets. It does not mean you are a bad owner or bad person. Our nightmares often reflect our deepest anxieties and fears. So really, it means we want the exact opposite of what we dream about. It doesn’t make the experience less terrible, but it is a comfort to know it is just our brains working through worst-case scenarios. #reptiles #snakes #geckos #beardeddragon #crestedgecko
