Hello everyone

So last night I had my first nightmare in a very long time. I dreamed that someone burglarized my home and I couldn’t have fight back. It was horrible
I’m a 29 year old male and I am in shape but I felt so helpless.
I woke up and made sure no one was in my house. It was like 3AM.

I hope I have never have this experience again

Ever since I've been on psychiatric medications starting in 2000, I rarely even remember having dreams. I think that's a nice problem to have because me remembering less dreams means me remembering less nightmares.

I did have an odd dream a couple of nights ago, however. I dreamed that I had rented a trailer that was right in the middle of the town dump.

It made no sense to me.

Weird.

Not surprising to have a dream about feeling helpless, especially during this global pandemic time.

Yes, nightmares can be very scary, and often it takes at least a day away until it stops feeling so raw and real.

Wishing you wonderful dreams tonight! smile

Since I increased my SSRI dose, I find I’m remembering my dreams much more often. I guess maybe my sleep is more interrupted. I don’t mind though; many of the dreams are amusing stories and I can try to figure out why I am dreaming that. Some involve my dad who died years ago. So I can “reconnect” with him in a dream. I’m now in the process of tapering down off the SSRI. So maybe I won’t remember my dreams as often.
