When you take certain medicines do u find your dreams more vivid or bizarre?

I am on medication that makes me sleepy but it helps my pain . I have Multiple Sclrosis and I do have a lot of shoulder pain. these pills help my pain which is greak but they also make me sleepy throught the day.

You know what bothered me is my kid and sister argue so much that they even fight in my dreams!!! I can't excape it! I woke up to it this morning! But to answer your question I am on Percocet boy the dreams are wild!

Hi Karen! Another Good Discussion! It appears that you are curious to know the psychology of dreams in human beings, therefore, you started two discussions in a row. I will have to say that your obseration that medicines do affect our dreams, appear true to me. I have also felt that I see more bizzare, odd and very unusual dreams, if I have taken some medicines. I have noticed that when I take anti-allergic pills, my dream pattern changes radically and I keep seeing more and more dreams in my sleep. I feel hesistant to take these kind of pills, however, sometimes such is the ailment that I cannot do without these medicines. I feel more sleepy and lethargic. I cannot say that I feel scary, I know dreams are only our imaginations and they are dreams only and it has nothing to do with our real life.

Personally I do not have such experience, but I heard my friend telling us the same side effect of some medicines, which is meant to stimulate the function of brain. He was happy that his past memory was revived. Maybe that is the result of the medicine.

This is an interesting revelation. I do get longer and a story like dreams when I take anti allergic pills, which is the only pill I take often. Otherwise, my dreams are brief, like snippets since I get up in between. May be I forget my dreams but as far as I can remember this is it.
