Decided to finally make this topic. Im nearing the 8 month mark since my mtbi. Most if not all know my story so ill spare the details.
Wife and I were talking tonight about a seizure I had in the early morning hours Thursday. I dont recall it, besides her getting me out of it. Anyways that led to the dream discussion. For 6 months I did not have a single dream, or at I dont remember them. Finally last month I had a single dream that I can semi remember. Since then 0. Before the injury I remember having lots of dreams, as my partner at work was the same way, and would share them on an almost bi-daily basis. Anyone else have this? Im sure its semi-related to landing on the back of my head, but it still seems odd. Just curious about you guys. |

From what I understand, remembering dreams has more to do with the quality of sleep. But then, I get decent sleep but rarely remember dreams.

Yep dreams
I did not dream for the longest time. Around the 9 month mark I noticed my dreams again. I do journal them from time to time or I did. I am going to try and do that again. I know I am dreaming again. It did come back but I know for a fact it was just not there that I could access for a long long time. Hhere's to dreams and hoping you recall yours soon. I love dreams.

[SIZE="1"]What happened. I was in a car accident 2-23-2013, and got a mild concussion from it. I had some time off for brain rest, got somewhat better, but slipped into PCS in March 2013. Symptoms I had: dizziness, light and sound sensitivity, fatigue, tinitis, occasional headaches and migraines, Symptoms as of 5--2013: poor sleep, tinitis, some confusion /short term memory blanks, balance. The other symptoms are mostly gone, but flare up if I OVERdo something. Therapy I had: vestibular 3 months in: I could drive more and for longer distances. I felt like a younger, happier version of myself and I feel so blessed to have this feeling. 9 months in and I am working full time. I do get tired, and some sound and light sensitivity from time to time, but mostly I am over most of my symptoms. I pray every day and I m praying for your recovery. Over a year in: I can multi task (limited) and have humor in my life. But when I am tired, I am very tired. |

Good morning,
I dream all the time. Extremely detailed, vivid dreams like I'm actually experiencing it all. Many many nightmares but the good dreams are amazing. In them my brother that passed and my grams are with us still. Fills my heart. I did lose my sense of humor for about a year. It slowly came back and isn't all the way here yet. I also became more concrete in my understanding and less able to think abstractly. 😊. Jenna

I didn't dream for the longest time, or if I did didn't know it, and now I dream quite a bit. but usually not nice dreams, they jolt me awake.
Get this.....sometimes I'm 1/2 a wake, get out of bed and realize I'm having a conversation, talking out loud to...who knows, kind of spooky. |
