We have talked about this on the old forum. Don't remember about here.

I have crazy dreams. That's what the Immunologist thinks might be causeing or coming from my anxiety. These have been going on since I developed RSD and Fibro around 2000.

I dream about people I don't know, people I haven't seen for years, dream about places I have never been. Floods, falling off of cliffs, a lot I can't remember. They have never stopped.

I was wondering if any of you are dealing with the dreams and have they stayed with you or came and gone?

My dreams are related to the medication I take. Before RSD my dreams were ok, most of the time I wouldn't have them to where I could remember, and if I did they weren't insane.

Now they are completely nuts. I should be put into the loony bin for some of the dreams I have had. I can still remember them and some were months ago, that's the impression they made upon me.

I have always had this situation happen when I dream. If I see someone I know in the dream, then following that I will end up hearing from them/about them/or seeing them. Crazy and this was before and now after RSD. Just the other night I dreamt of a guy I had worked with over 9-10 mths ago. We were friends on myspace and I cleared out my friends list with him in it because we didn't converse. Well after the dream, he ended up emailing me through myspace to find out how I've been doing.

When I am flared up and my meds are taken in double and triplicate form my crazy dreams happen more.

Hugs.

I used to have colorful, intense dreams... some good, some truly bad. But they were always vibrant with color.

When I was first dx'ed, they put me on Neurontin. My dreams changed to nightmares, ones I still can be upset by 14 years later. (They mainly centered around awful things happening to my loved ones)

As soon as I quit the Neurontin, that sx went away, thank you god. Now, I have the opposite problem.

I haven't had a dream in over 10 years. Seriously. It sucks, I have to tell ya. Not as bad as the nightmares, of course. But it takes a lot of the color and flavor out of life when you don't dream. I know, people are going to say I am dreaming, I'm just not remembering them... but it never used to be that way.

I don't know what to blame for this problem... could be because I only sleep in 2-4 hour snatches these days. Or, a side effect of meds. Or, a side effect of aids/epi/rsd. Or, maybe I am just too disillusioned with this world, lol!

Have you bothered to check and see if any of your dreams are coming true? Do things happen to people after you dream about them? I would also consider a more "paranormal" reason, too. A lot of what you describe also sounds like Astral Projection, or OBE's. I'm sure a lot of folks will get a big giggle out of that, lol...but I believe in more things than I can see or touch. (I have had several weird experiences that give me reason to believe.)

I have horrible dreams... I think it has to be related to the medication I am on... The dreams are more intense during the day when i take a nap or something... Reason being i am more medicated in the afternoons then at night time..

I have horrilbe dreams... Things i dont even really want to talk about... I have many reoccuring dreams.

I strongly beleive it is from the pain medication..


Hope everyone is doing well...

I have had dreams come true. I dreamed my Grandson got his hand cut off, a week later, he got his finger cut off. I knew when my Mom was going to die. I dreamed about her dying and she was gone within a week.

I have dreams all night long. I dreamed someone was yelling for me one night last week and I woke up screaming, "What do you want." I was thinking after I woke and figured what I did, I hope none of my neighbors heard me.

I dreamed last week I was looking for Bill and couldn't find him.

I have had dreams about people and saw or heard from them not long after.

I just hate them. I sometimes go out of one dream into another one. These started after I got the RSD and Fibro. Some dreams are so crazy you don't want to tell anyone about them.

I have went off of my meds and still had them. That's what makes me think they go with the RSD and/or Fibro.

Yes! I have them- very vivid dreams! They come and stay and a few come and leave.



Ahh, I found the other thread we had started:

I am glad that we have you and others to help do this research. I swear I can't sit here to do it.

Again I think the dreams come from the RSD itself somehow.

Thanks,
Ada
