You don’t have to have a history of epilepsy or seizures of any other kind to have dreams of having seizures occasionally, and what’s striking with it is how vividly realistic they can be, almost as-if you’re actually awake and seizing.

Has anyone here had one of those dreams, or something similar?

No, that sounds terrifying, are they drug induced?

Is it true, @Redway? Are you on the drugs now?

I guess that can be the case but they can also just happen. Just like waking paralysis or just-plain nightmares, a lot can go down in the realm of sleep and it can be kinda scary, to put it one way.

Do you take amitriptyline?

I've had Sleep Paralysis in the past.

It's horrible when you're awake and you can't move your body, my mind always thinks of the worst scenarios aswell, so it's not a good combination.

Yeah, it’s pretty horrible. I think it’s the meds but if I stop taking them, it’s even worse. I mostly have the same dreams over and over, with the occasional new one. I also took melatonin once and it gave me night terrors. Not fun

…yeah they really are pretty scary things to have and as you say, certain medication side effects can cause them for some people…and I know someone else also who has a same scary dream over and over and it’s pretty exhausting so that in itself can cause sleep disruption…so it all becomes a very layered thing because keeping a good sleep pattern is so important to try to counter those side effects…

He used to give me a lot of wet dreams too and. And now I look back and think how crazy I was. A man has muscle to be a man.

I tend to get either violent nightmares or downright odd dreams.

Seizure dreams are more in the tragic in an everyday life sort of way, my dreams don't really work like that.
