Weird Dreams

[luckygoat3]

Okay after a long time of having funky dreams they went away and now they are back. It's like they are real, yes they are creepy and i hate sleeping. I am on an SSRI and a beta blocker...which im sick of these dreams and they are mumbled jumbled, none of them make sense.

advice please!

I get them too- just try not to worry about them. I take an SNRI (similar to an SSRI)- these can affect your dfreams. I think it settles once you have properly adjusted to the drug. If they are really disturbing, maybe you could lower the dose?

When I first got seriously sick I started lucid dreaming. I thought that was great, as I could always steer my dreams to a happy ending. Once I started getting treatment I lost that awareness and now whenever I have a heavy sleeping spell I find that my dreams are often very disturbing. Not like nightmares exactly, more like bizarre to the point that they creep me out. I don't like them, but at the same time I feel that they are necessary somehow to keep my psyche healthy so I do my best to not worry about them and instead focus on my sleeping environment. I found that little noises and interruptions during sleep made the dreams worse. Cuddling with a spouse or a kitty cat on the other hand helps a lot.

Also the last two nights my dreams, while truly strange, had Johnny Depp in them. I am willing to accept all kinds of weird to have that trend continue.
