I had nightmares as a kid a lot. Now my nightmares tend to be pretty easy to decipher. I have a fight with my husband and dream he is cruel to me and, when I try to retaliate, I am paralyzed.
When I was extremely depressed, I had nightmares about suicide.
I've had nightmares from years ago that were so vivid, I still remember every detail.
Sleep is strange. My worst issue with sleep is coming to semi-consciousness and feeling paralyzed -- like I can't breathe or move. I try to call out for help, but can't open my mouth. I don't know how long this lasts. Probably only a minute or so. But it feels like forever. Eventually, I waken enough to tell myself that I'm dreaming.
My other weird issue with sleep is sleep-walking. I've woken up in the kitchen, walking around the upstairs hall. Once, when my daughter was visiting, I came in her room at 2:00AM and told her there was door I needed to go through, but I couldn't find it. She led me back to bed.
I've never felt that meds had any effect, positive or negative, on this.
