[YASMINTINA FMA UK Volunteer]

No I have not, but I had 4 very weird dreams last night, some very scary so I am thinking I am not very switched off right now with what is going on out and normally I might remember perhaps one dream x

[Hidden in reply to YASMINTINA]

I get dreams to very odd xx

[Painny]

Yes, I am the same. Our brain is in overdrive, FIBRO 🤔🤔🤔😷😷

[Patdoyle]

Yes happens to me a lot. Can’t trust my eyes anymore. I also get flashes in the corner of my eyes at night.

[Hidden]

Yes I see flashing to xxx

[Didoliz in reply to Hidden]

Me too. Optician has no idea what it could be. Has done it for years.

[Hidden]

Vivid scary dreams are very common for me and just now they are more frequent, maybe it is a fibro thing? Stay safe xx

[Bonthron]

I do that often especially if I have been thinking about someone I can very often see my late Mother

[Bonthron]

I do that often especially if I have been thinking about someone I see my late Mother quite often

[Bonthron]

I often see my late Mother when my eyes are closed and I am half asleep

Strange I believe there's a heaven x

Hi Lauren,

Yes, I do all the time, it's almost like I'm hallucinating!

[bobbybobb]

Sometimes. I think some people do get this sort of thing. I've always had it. Sometimes I can close my eyes in a dark room and still have the image with the full beam of the light. I have always had strange dreams. You think you have woken up only to find you are actually still dreaming. Always have scary dreams that as a child frightened me but I don't think anything of it now. xx

[hen-house]

wow, im actually not alone! I have had some disturbing dreams, most of which i have to say since i have been on Sertraline since 2016, but i had one particular one and i can still remember it like it was just now: I was out just finished work in school (i was a TA) and a man tried to approach me and the next thing i knew i had him dead in a wheelbarrow and i walked home with him in it and my husband was laying a concrete floor in my dream and he hide him in it, but the next day in my dream i thought i had woke up for real and went to my husband and told him i dreamt i killed someone when i spotted a set of fingers poking out the dried concrete and he said no its true! I was frantic, then the police arrived im not sure why but i was panicked they was at the door when i woke up for real, and i actually was really upset and thought it was real, i think because in my dream i already thought i had woken up! I get a lot of driving dreams, a lot of confrontation dreams and some seriously weird ones, where one minute im driving a fast car the next its a little tykes peddle one for kids! And as for the seeing things, we all believe in different things, but my previous house was intense, i had boo spoken into my ear, i had my PC chair pulled out from behind, i saw a man walk into my kitchen and disappear, i heard one of my children get up, walk downstairs and a gap time for a wee then i heard then walk back upstairs - i thought ill check incase they dont feel well - they were both fast asleep and in contorted sleeping positions? I also had a night where i got woke up to the fire alarm at the top of the stairs screaming, i was standing under it and all of a sudden it was silent, nobody else had heard it! - when my dad was in hospital dying, my step mum didn't tell me and at the time we had fallen out over a moonpig card - halfway through that week i dreamt i was in a drs waiting room and i looked over and my dad was in the queue in abut 5th place, he called me over with a hand gesture and hugged me tight, i didn't know at the time why? then a few days later, i had chest pains and discomfort in my chest, me and my dad both have heart problems - the next day my husband took a call to say my dad had passed away the night before at around the same time i had chest pains and felt unwell! i have had a few dreams about him since, and i took the dream where he called me over and hugged me as him saying goodbye and making up with me - i have had strange things and dreams since a child! xx

Hi hen-house I am the same very disturbing and weird dreams extremely vivid and real like and I’ve had them for as long as I can remember x

[hen-house]

ah and i have also suffered with sleep paralysis on 3 occasions which is super scary!!!

[Hidden in reply to hen-house]

Oh yeah like ur trapped in your own body I had it once and I was under a sun bed it was the worst feeling I've ever had I could only move my eyes my brain was sending signals to move but I could not 👽

[hen-house in reply to Hidden]

i was in bed and i actually thought i was dying, i felt so strange and went to move but nothing, i tired to speak but my mouth wouldnt even budge! i was looking right at my husband and could look around with my eyes then all of a sudden it all freed up but blimey was i scared! theres all sorts of reasons for that they say, some are interesting! xx

[bobbybobb in reply to hen-house]

I've always had that I thought it was a normal part of sleep had it since a child always. It never bothers me now but is super scary. xx

[Hidden]

That's really strange our brains are so powerful and our emotions my dreams are all about passed events that keep reoccurring probably part of the PTSD x your not alone pal

[hen-house]

its reassuring to know that - really it is! xx

[Hidden]

Defo xxxxx

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

Often, when I'm on the verge of falling asleep I see a place I know really clearly as though I'm there! It could be a place I've been to recently or somewhere that I haven't been for years! Very strange but kinda comforting somehow xx

[tricia_liam]

Yes I'm the same but I put that down to the medication.

[Mrspainting48]

Yes. I do have done since i was a child.

Things are clear perfect pictures of what ever comes.Unrelated to my thoughts or what i have been watching ...

I believe its an extra sensory ....but it goes undeveloped with me.

[Emk68 in reply to Mrspainting48]

Hi Mrspainting48, do you mean like a de ja vu sort of thing x

[Mrspainting48 in reply to Emk68]

No these images are not known to me

[Emk68]

Hi Lauren1987, I have always had very vivid and bizarre dreams when I am trying to go to sleep I see shapes I’ve actually jumped when I’ve seen them I have dreams with my mum in them a lot that leave me feeling very low when I wake, and from being a small child ( junior school age ) I have had a reoccurring dream about being a resistance fighter being chased by nazis lol x

[Hidden in reply to Emk68]

Really odd isn't it our brains are very powerful I won't even post the dreams I have or il get locked up in a asylum 😅😅

[lcm27]

Hi, yes. When I close my eyes to go to sleep sometimes I see loads of faces, different nationalities, sexes and ages (a Reiki master said they were my spirits checking in on me) I also see colours come and go mainly blue and purple sometimes yellow, then other times I see pinpricks of light, like the night sky. My optician couldn't answer why. I do have vivid dreams sometimes reoccurring sometimes picking up an old dream and carrying on. I put these down to the cocktail of meds I'm on. Either that or I've totally lost the plot!!! Hope this helps Lynn x

[hen-house in reply to lcm27]

That's interesting, i was told at an Aura cleanse session that i have trouble going off to sleep? its apparently due to the spirits im open to that keep trying to communicate with me and i have the powers but im unaware of how to use them, i was told to say a very kind message when i get into bed to the spirits saying that i love and respect them but i need to rest now and that i will be open to communication again tomorrow? Another thing i have noticed over the years since i was a teenager i will be trying to go off to sleep and all of a sudden its like the sound of extreme drumming starts in my head and gets louder and louder until i just cant cope and it is actually painful - i do have an AVM in my brain and i asked the consultant if it is anything to do with that but he said he has never heard of that? xx

[deborah27]

Yes, not all the time . I thought it was just me. Lol.

[Donna-mari]

I see things when I open my eyes just floating. Could be a shape a tree a spider anything really. It is weird.

[Gem58]

Yes its when we are in a half sleep state, relaxed. Its normal.
