Hi Hockey,

Yes, I do dream occasionally as I did before my concussion a year ago. I'm not sure if it stopped for awhile after the concussion, but I do notice that I'm sleeping much better now than I did in the months immediately following the concussion. I remember early on after the fall, I would wake up feeling scared and disoriented and not knowing where I was. I consistently had feelings of gloom and wooziness upon waking. That went away after a few months and now, I'm starting to feel more normal. I wake up more relaxed and rested.

I would say that I'm getting good REM sleep on most nights. I've been taking magnesium for headaches, but I think that has also had an added benefit. It has had a relaxing effect on my body as it is known to work as a natural muscle relaxant.

I hope that helps.

Don
