Why do I keep dreaming about being a royal? (hexbear.net)

I posted a few weeks ago about how I had a dream that I was a member of the Swedish royal family. In the dream the Skarsgards were the royal family and I was married to one of the sons. Last night I dreamt that I was a member of the British royal family, married to Prince Harry. I can't really remember what happened other than all the royals and I were in a house together watching TV and eating in separate rooms. At one point the King came to my door to speak to me.

Why do I keep dreaming about this? I don't even want to be royal, or married. What's extra annoying is that I used to have a lot of really vivid interesting dreams, but thanks to meds and health issues I have very poor sleep now and almost never dream any more. But when I do, it's this. I wonder if these dreams are trying to tell me something but I don't know what.

Meds can definitely do that to ya. I’ve been there. My theory is that any dreams that come about while taking no-dreams pills aren’t connected to your psyche in the same way. I used to be able to get really good introspection from dream analysis but when i’m on the pills it’s like my dreams are just a funhouse mirror put to whatever I watched on tv before bed.

    I also think it's because I get barely any real sleep now. I used to sleep well but now because of side effects from the meds plus bladder issues I struggle to drift off at all and when I finally do I have to keep waking up to go to the toilet. There's just no opportunity to dream usually. It's a shame because I used to love my vivid dreams and even kept a dream diary.
