Title: Do you dream - in cycle?
Post by turtlendog on Jan 21^st, 2008, 3:26pm

Hi, I'm the noob.

This is all new to me, so I'm trying to put the puzzle together a bit. Been suffering for years, but only realized it was CH the other day. I've read that CH may line up with the REM stage of sleep and was just thinking that I don't dream. Or at least don't remember dreams. Haven't for years, and I'm dog-tired too, even through I should be getting plenty of sleep. I wonder if that's related?

Do you dream when you're in cycle?

I dream every night. Sometimes I'm fighting the beast only to wake up and discover I'm in the middle of an attack.

Are you sleeping through the night without attacks? Or are you getting attacks at night causing you to lose sleep?

If the former, you might ask your Dr about a sleep study to check for Sleep Apnea. This condition shows up in clusterheads at a much higher rate than the general population.

I have a restless, but mostly full night of sleep most of the time. It just doesn't feel restful.

If I'm having attacks all night, they're only long enough to wake and stir me, or only shadows until the morning. Then things get going.

I have a sleep study scheduled. Thanks for the advice and input.

If you smoke lots of weed and are a classic stoner you wont remember your dreams, that dosnt mean you dont have them,

please dont take offence i did say IF im NOT assuming that you are,
just food for thought

Not guilty. Everything I'm on is prescribed.

Just wondered if it was a common thread among us.

Maybe I'll find about my personal failure to remember dreams next week at my sleep study.

I seldom remember my dreams, in or out of cycle, but ive only felt so tired recently cos of the damn beast,

I woke up several times last night with dreams fresh in my mind, and got up early in heavy shadows. I popped a Relpax expecting a bad day.

It turns out this topic was recently covered here:
