do you mean when you dream you've woken yourself up, but actually you haven't? I have phases of bizarre dreams...then they die off. I can't sleep on my back at all...instant recipe for nightmares. Does anyone else do that?

I have the most terrible nightmares, but they are usually when I gi to bed in a lot of pain. I think its my body translating the pain Im feeling. Very unsettling.

Yes, I continually have these dreams,mostly re-occuring. It is a really strange sensation I know I am asleep get these awful dreams that hurt and anger me so much.Then the twitching starts I can't stop it. Then the pain gets so intense thats when I awake crying and screaming.asolutely shattered I find the strenghnth to run a bath, lie in the bath in the dark with just a few tea light and scented candles feel the heat through my body concentrate on the heat while breathing deep breaths doing relaxation then falling asleep. I have to do this quite often as it's the only way to relieve my symptoms for a short while. I don't know if this is any help for you. My Doctors and pharmacists have told me to stop it ans it's very dangerous, but they can't come up with anything better so until then I will keep doing this. I do hope you find something that helps you, as I understand how frustrating and uncomfortale this is. Best Wishes Maggie

I once dreamt I'd murdered my best friend thought I'd woken up from it but then repeated the same dream so hadn't woken up at all. I've also had sleep paralysis which is the scariest thing ever - you're in bed and conscious but you're paralysed and you get this sensation there's someone or something in the room. This thing talked to me and tried to enter my body. I don't really believe in ghosts so it scared me to death until a friend of mine who's a psychiatric nurse told me about sleep paralysis. It happens when you're half way between consciousness and sleep. your body is asleep but your mind is awake - a waking dreams or hallucination I suppose!. FM makes this sort of thing more likely because we rarely go into a deep sleep so we're always susceptible to weird and wonderful dreams and experiences. I wish I could fully remember my dreams some days - they'd make the most amazing films!!!!!

I have this all the time and OMG it drives me insane. I wonder whether it's due to the fact we don't get into our final stage of sleep easily which is the restorative stage, however just dream all night hence why we feel ill and ache as our bodies have not recovered from the day before etc.

I have a re occurring dream about a friend who died last year of a brain tumour and he was only 28. We were quite close at work and went out socialising together, however when my whiplash and bad headaches kicked in so bad I lost touch with him. The last time | saw him he was playing volleyball on the beach, he shouted out my name to say hi. I had such an awful head that I was a little offish as i couldn't see or think straight. I felt so awful Then I went to visit him in his final days as the 3rd tumour had come back. He couldn't talk I explained how sorry I was for the beach experience however I will never know if he understood. He held my hand so tight and wouldn't let me go, we hugged and after a while I did leave. Then he died a week later.

I dream about him all the time, but have not got a clue why?? xxx

so sorry u lost your friend under such sad circumstances x
