Okay this might sound stupid, wierd, whatever..But..Here goes...
I've been having a lot of dreams lately, and I'm starting to think it's all the meds I am taking that are to fault(the mental health meds). And even if I haven't taken them(like say in the afternoon when I do occasionally nap), I have vivid good or vivid bad dreams. At night I have a hard time falling asleep due to the meds and then when I fall asleep the next morning when my husband wakes me up, I don't want to get up. Instead I continue right on sleeping as if he hadn't tried waking me up.
Seems to me that normal people would dream something and then when they awaken if even only for a few minutes, they tend to dream something else when they fall back to sleep. Seems as though I'm the exact opposite. I tend to continue the dream anyways.
When I have nightmares and I awaken from them, usually I am too scared to go back to sleep. I wake up and I cry a lot. Or sit straight up in bed or on the edge of bed and pant for ten to twenty minutes.
Now here's the stupid quesion...Why the heck am I dreaming like this and why are my dreams seeming to interact with the meds?
