Nightmares
Do you experience nightmares as part of your narcolepsy symptoms and do they affect you even after waking?
Always
Hi
. Have you found ways to cope with them? It must be difficult to have nightmares so often. - Lori (Team Member)
I have surreal hallucinations. Morning and night.Hi
. Are they frightening or just strange? Is it difficult to know when you are hallucinating? I hope they don't impact you too frequently. Thinking of you. - Lori (Team Member)
I have terrible nightmares now that I have stopped smoking marijuana. The marijuana actually helped me with sleeping through the night. Among other things. Now I am up every 1 1/2 to 2 hrs. Smh! It's the cost I have chosen to pay to be marijuana free. 🤷🏾
Hi
. How awesome that you have stopped the marijuana. It can be really hard to give up something that seems to be helping, but maybe being off it will help your doctor find better way to treat your sleep issues. I hope the nightmares subside over time. Best wishes. - Lori (Team Member) yes exactly! Thank you so much. 💜
This symptom developed after my N2 progressed into N1. I experienced lucid dreams before I knew what they were. I just knew I wasn't awake, but I was aware. I digressed into a deep depression and soon met what being human meant to me. It was a very interesting journey into my chemical machine.
