Postpartum dreams?

I’m not sure if this is the right place for this topic.

I’m 4 days postpartum and I keep having really intense or almost realistic dreams which have never happened before. Is this ...normal? Or is it sleep deprivation? I’ve never had dreams like this when pulling all nighters in college.

Just now I dreamt that my brother came to visit but had to leave due to some police tracking system. Like he was on the run from the cops and my neighborhood is so high tech that alarms alerted the police of his presence. I seriously thought he was here and I was so confused. The tracking system from peoples yards doesn’t make sense! I looked outside, realized it didn’t look like my neighbors yard and woke up.

Last night I dreamt of some giant centipede looking creature that devoured people, and people around me just accepted it like it was as normal as snakes. Again it felt like reality for a few seconds until I realized it made no sense.

Aughh!!! Luckily they don’t last very long but still!!

I have taken Percocet, but it was the night before and has since worn off. I only took half a pill as well because I was worried about the side effects. I didn’t take any before the monster dream.
