Julia. I think your stressed out.
seriously though.
It's tough times that we're in. And we're not kids anymore. the world is a tough place to live in. There's a lot of bull on our minds. I know I'm a tad bit stressed out. Feel bad that you can't take comfort in the most comforting thing for all of us (sleep). |

2. I had a concussion when i was 12 years old, in a coma for a couple days (maybe this causes nightmares?) |
This one is interesting. When I was a kid I had nightmares basically every night. Very vivid ones....still vivid in my mind today.
But when I was 11...I was in an incident where I almost died, was in a short coma, sever concussion, in the hospital for a long time, etc....
Anyhow, since that incident, I am unable to remember dreams, except for one exception.... I can wakeup sometimes and know if I'll know if I had a good dream or bad dream (usually bad if I remember any feeling from it), but I cannot remember any specific detail. I'll even think I can but when I go to remember it's a big blank.
The only exception, and this will sound odd, is that I will, although very rare, have the same dream over and over and over for a number of weeks...every night. The exact same dream. Where it get's crazy is that when I have these, it's usually an event involved with me, and then an incident that is similar to my dream happens in real life. Totally bizarre and I don't even want to get into it on here...it's hard to believe. |

Same here. I can remember the dream for maybe 15 minutes in the morning and I can give it a wtf. But then it's gone...out of my mind. |

Sleep Apnea is not funny. Did you disclose your party schedule with your Doc? |
I don't party hard (anymore). Well, I never did party too hard... just went out to hear some good music, then come home right afterwards. I was never into "after partying". I'm not a big drinker or drug user. If I go out to a club, which is like once a month these days, I'm home by 2 or 3am. I just get bored & tired (and now that it's winter, I get uncomfortably cold to the point where I feel sick). I think I have bad blood circulation, but that's another story (of course my doctor says I'm perfectly ok, even though I don't feel ok). |

Anyone else able to do this while they sleep? |
Sometimes. When I was in my senior year in college I used to dream about code. It was horrifying.
As for nightmares I have them sporadically, usually after heavy drug use. I had a gnarly one on Sunday night :stongue: |

have you sought to interpret meaning from your nightmares? are they the same every time or are they distinctive? |
I went on some website to see the meaning of certain dreams, but it was really vague. All my dreams are different and very vivid, although I have a few reoccurring dreams (but different scenarios)
| quote: | | Originally posted by R!CH is there a recurring theme? |
Here are the reoccurring dreams in no particular order(don't laugh lol):
1. Tornado
2. Tidal wave
3. Earth quake
4. Demons/satan
5. Airplane crashing (while I'm either in it, or just a few blocks away from it)
6. UFO's in the sky (these ones are usually really colorful)
7. Water levels in ocean rapidly/dangerously rising
8. friends betraying me
9. Losing my boyfriend because of a natural disaster (ie earthquake, tidal wave etc)
10. Calling 911 for a life or death emergency, but they put me on hold or don't even answer my call at all
| quote: | | Originally posted by R!CH are you an observer in them or do you have control? |
No, I don't have control of them at all. Sometimes I'm able to wake myself up though, because the nightmare gets so intense (ie, I'm about to die because of a tidal wave)
| quote: | | Originally posted by R!CH are you generally a superstitious or fearful person? |
I have a really good imagination. I get scared of scary movies really easily (if that counts lol).
| quote: | | Originally posted by R!CH and when you had a concussion, how severe was the brain swelling and where was it? if the swelling damaged your amygdala/frontal limbic system, there could be a connection... |
I'm not sure how severe the swelling was or what part of the brain. It was pretty bad though. I would have to contact my old insurance and see if I can get record of it. But regardless of that, my so-called "doctor" said my brain is "ok" in a recent MRI they did. |

The only times I WON'T remember my dreams is if I had smoked weed right before going to bed.
|
I was seriously considering to ask my doctor if I should smoke weed before I go to bed. I just don't think smoking weed is the best idea for me though. I don't want it to cause more problems. |

There's your problem. Try Xanax for your anxiety. It'll make you not give a f*** about anything and it'll also help you sleep throughout the night. (might have a problem getting up though)
|
I took Xanax once (this was like 4 months ago) while I was camping with friends... OMG, I had intense dreams that night. I dreamed I got up to use the restroom, then I accidentally walked into some random persons tent in the next camp site over. When I woke up, I was like holy , did that really happen? Did I accidentally sleep walk into someone else tent earlier in the night???? :nervous: |

another thing i suggest to you, although i am not too certain of, is to get yourself checked by universities. for example i know UC Irvine has great psychology program and a great research team. maybe going to them for help will be beneficial (i am not sure if they will be helpful but i don't know why they wouldn't help because they are always trying to learn and come up with new research). i know someone who graduated with psychology major from irvine a while back i can ask him if the school accepts "walk ins". pm me if interested. |
Cool idea. UCI is too far for me though, but UCLA is nearby. Perhaps they do the same thing, and I should contact them about this. |
