Nightmares

[rebgirl420]

So lately ive been having some wicked nightmares. Night terrors actually and ive noticed that ive had them mostly after I smoke. Which is weird b/c ive never had this problem before. But ive actually been sort of afraid to sleep b/c there so intense and awful. Anyone else have this problem?

I dont really get nightmares. I have had a few in my life and they feel so real. I feel bad that you get them frequently. What happens if you havnt smoked for a couple of days and then sleep? Do you still get them. I know that most dreams occur during REM sleep, which is a lighter stage of sleeping but dont know if nightmares occur in this same stage. Weed should put you in a deeper stage of sleep causing you to dream less. If nightmares do occur in a deeper stage of sleep it could be a problem.

The only advise I give you is try to make sure you are in a good place mentally before you go to sleep. Listen to some chilled music and try not to think about anything that worries you. I usually find if I am thinking about something before bed, a lot of the time if features in my dream.

I agree^, listening to radio always gives me way better dreams than if I have the TV on or something.

yeah.... i'm literally plauged by nightmares...

about my brother, about my wife leaving me mostly... those two make up about 80% of my dreams (not nightmares... 80% of the time i dream of one of those two)

I'm in a similar situation to yourself. Lately I have had nightmares nearly every night for the past week or so. As Slip has said, they tend to be about possible real life situations. I have had one unrealistic nightmare though, it was about zombies.

I get nightmares when I'm sick and when I'm stressed out. If I fall asleep high, I never get nightmares.

Reb, have you altered dosages or added in any new medications to your line-up, by any chance? You're on a combination of meds that can aggravate sleep disturbances like night terrors. I happened to catch those a few days ago in the medical area, I believe it was. That's very common, in fact. Next time you check in with your prescribing physician, let him/her know.

Yeah actually this happened to me with the med combo of Seroquel,Prozac, and Xanax.

as much as i hate scary things i really enjoy nightmares AFTER ive had them. not during them.

like one time i had a dream that there were spikes coming out of the ground, and everything was black or red and it was hot and lava was everywhere. and there were cottonballs stuck on the spikes! screeped me out in my dream for some reason but i think its a pretty funny thing when i look back on it.
