Casey's nightmares

[BonKai]

So because TL says that KC was having nightmares...this is considered the truth? Did LE ask TL if he ever did drugs or how often and how much alcohol he consumed each week? No. I have a feeling that he was a normal 20 something that partied often. I know when I was that age...I didn't have the best recollection of events when I was drinking a lot of alcholol and staying up until 4am having intimate relations with my bf.

Wow...why would TL bother to lie or make up stories about Casey having nightmares? It is interesting that you spun this discussion around to point a finger at TL. :waitasec:

Anybody other than me think those nightmares and cold sweats were about what she did to Caylee or having to handle the body?

I agree

 

[TinPan]

She couldn't stop partying long enough to decide which lie she was going to use and CA and LA were hot on her heels!

 

[shelbar53]

She must have been restless and moaning in her sleep to wake up tonE. When he did wake up she was drenched in sweat.
I think the nightmares were due to #1 killing or finding caylee dead or, #2 the actual disposal of her decomposing stinking body. That smell is just awful....knowing that stink was her daughter probably gave her nightmares. Oh wait, I take that back about the smell giving her nightmares, she drove around in that car awhile with the smell KNOWING it was caylee. I think the nightmares had to do with caylee, but which event...I dont know.

 

[It's Not the Nanny]

I agree. The nightmares were about what she did to Caylee -- no doubt about that one.


I wonder if at some point she started really regretting what she did. Here she was in this new and awesome relationship, she got rid of the one thing holding her back (Caylee), and then TL leaves for awhile and comes back but seems to come off as a big teaser (like, maybe I won't come home), stuff like that. Making her worry that he's not as into her as she is into him.

It would be interesting to know if at any point she really regretted what she did and wondered if what she had when he came back from NY was really WORTH IT.

That would give one nightmares for sure.

he didnt let her stay at his apartment when he went to new york. must not have been that into her before he left and she had to know that {or he would have given her the keys to his apt.] I think the nightmares were NOT about their relationship, it wasnt that strong to begin with.

I have the disturbing, sweating, panic stricken dreams about men when I'm awake

LOL! I concur! But I'm still holding out hope that there are a few good men out there (one will be mine) who are capable of loving fully and unconditionally. I know a few and they aren't gay either! They are however married!

 

[doogiesgirl]

When I was in my 20's I had a couple of bad dreams about my relationship. They seemed so real that I awoke crying or angry, waking my husband and asking him why he did that!? lol Of course he had no idea what I was talking about.

I don't think KC was having bad dreams due to guilt at all, I think it was all about poor her. Maybe getting rid of Caylee didn't go as planned and she had dreams about how awful the experience was for her. Or her fear of getting caught played out in her dreams. But I do not think it was about Caylee at all. I don't think she ever thought about Caylee, dead or alive. JMO

Definitely! You can push down feelings and try to hide them, but eventually they will come to the surface. She may act on the outside like she doesn't care about what happened to Caylee, but she will always have those horrible memories and you can only suppress them for so long.

I hope she has nightmares every time she closes her eyes.

 

[Pollywog]

I think the nightmares were about Caylee and her getting caught. I think she planned to leave the Orlando area and just start over. She could tell everyone in her new life that either she did not have a child or else her parents had her. If she had of left, then her parents would have just thought she left and took Caylee with her. The thing is she got caught before she left and I think that is why she begged for "one more day".

I really hope she has nightmares still and her baby girl and what happened to her haunts her for the rest of her life.

Casey told Tony that she was having nightmares about his leaving her. She was having the night sweats. I've wondered if a fever was breaking instead and there were no nightmares. Maybe Casey got a little sick with fever after trudging around in a woody damp area where there were lots of bugs and mosquitoes. Or maybe she was digging around in damp moldy plant debris and stirred up a mold allergy/sinus infection.

she bought mucinex and sudafed at trgt with amys checks

 

[concentric]

I think the nightmares were a combination of both Caylee' s death and TL and KC. In her way of thinking, the riddance of any encumbrances (like Caylee?) that limited their time together was solved. Only, more time together wasn't matching up with her fantasy of: the good life. She couldn't tell him what really happened, because he didn't care enough about HER?

Do you think she will eventually turn on TL and blame him for what happened to Caylee, for instance, saying that he never wanted to see her unless Caylee wasn't there?

 

[not_my_kids]

Personally, I think it was stress. Her family putting a lot of pressure on her and maybe there had been some issues between her and AL. KC is obviously a very immature person, and immature people don't handle stress well, so that could very well have triggered her nightmares and sweats. Stress over Caylee? No. But about other things that still mattered in Casey land? Probably.

 

[alwaysonmymind]

Having nightmares and waking up in cold sweats often occur when an inidvidual is in a state of anxiety and fear. In this case, I think she was afraid of getting caught.

:yes: :yes: I agree. When she was awake, she had thouroughly convinced herself the imaginanny story would be accepted without question. imo
However, during sleep, her subconscious mind took over and I believe the nightmares were caused by fear of getting caught- not what she did to Caylee.

 

[TinPan]

Cheating on boyfriends, killing your baby, disposing of body, keeping others from the cars' tell-tell smell, dodging your mom and brother, making up characters, cleaning out best friends', grandmas', moms' bank account, oh and working (rolling eyes), maybe she was just "slipping" back in bed all sweaty and lied that she had a nightmare.

 

[Clock's Tickin]

Nope, for once she told the truth. Her nightmares were about TL leaving her. We already know how stressed she was over him possibly not coming back from his trip. He was NOT as into her as she needed him to be. Her new reality was all about TL and he wasn't an active participant in that plan. By this time Caylee was no longer a part of her life and therefore out of her thoughts. People like KC take that "out of sight, out of mind" thing to a whole new very literal level.

 

[concentric]

Recently saw a crime investigative reenactment where the murderer took the bodies of the women he had just killed, and threw them down an embankment into some bushes out of sight. And that was his attitude: Out of sight, out of mind.

I also think she had no doubt the imaginanny story would be another missing child event that would fade into nowheresville.

We may be thinking too hard here. I'm sure her sweaty dreams were due to what she had done to her own child. The images will never disappear in her subconscious mind. Emotions have to escape at some point, in some fashion. I'm amazed she could sleep at all, to be honest.

For normal people this would be true. KC is dissociative-completely dissociative. Her only remorse is the fact that she lost TL, but I doubt she even has that remorse any longer with JB by her side. Off with the old, on with the new. Even if JB has zero affection for KC-KC will fabricate her own reality with him as well (IMO-JB is a participant here, but even if he's not...)
People like KC can't even FIND their subconscious. They aren't wired that way. The synapsis are firing about every other time. You know how old people can remember vividly what happened back in 1924, but have no idea what was for lunch today? It's a similar mental issue. Their brains just file "nuisance" info away somewhere so that they can focus on less stressful issues. They even make up stress to avoid real pressure...
