After my injury I did not dream for about 5 weeks, then eventually I had very short dreams with not much detail or color. My dreams stayed that way until about 3 months ago when my dreams started to become very long and detailed and vivid in color (much like they were before my injury).
The only thing I have been able to tell that helps is time. Your brain needs time to recover and heal, and unfortunately no one can say how long that will be. I know this is frustrating and doesn't help much. I am sorry that you are having nightmares, that must be stressful on top of everything else that is happening. I hope your dreams improve soon. Keep us posted.

I'm a 26yr old woman living in California. In August 2011 I was in a wake-boarding accident. At first I was diagnosed with a minor concussion. After a few weeks it became clear that there was something more going on, and I was diagnosed with PCS. Since then I have been diagnosed with mTBI with Post Traumatic Migraine.
Two years later I am still dealing with headaches and migraines on a daily basis as well as cognitive deficiencies, personality changes and mood swings. Before my injury I was a full time student working towards my BA. Since the injury I have been forced to take time off school for speech therapy and practically had to learn how to read again. I am now back at school part time, taking no more then one class a semester.
I am improving, though at a very very slow rate. I have confidence that in the next few years my headaches will no longer be a daily issue that interferes in my life. I have accepted that some of the cognitive issues and personality changes will never go away. I am taking things one day at a time and at the same time trying to get to know myself again. My family and husband have been very supportive, but sometimes I want to talk with someone who understands exactly what I am going through. What I am looking for is a bit of support and friendly advice, and to give the same in return.
