I’m suffering badly when I dream. I’m having terrible dreams and wake up triggered. Last night I had to go through all my mental history with a dr and it really triggered me in the dream and got me worried that I’d have to get myself sectioned.
So what is worse night time pyschosis or daytime dodging all the triggers of everyday life being diagnosed with sz. What happens if I get my ■■■■ together and just get on with it but still suffer each and every night? This morning I got up and took my dog for a long walk at 445am, Such a blessing and help to get back some freedom compared to being in bed everyday suffering.
Sooooo is the dreamscape as important as day time awake sz. My dreams are pretty ■■■■■■ up.

Just had to wake myself up.
Another violent dream or dreams.
Fighting people - always come out on top.
Being chased and having to find a gun to stop it. Had to shoot two people.
This is not normal. It shouldn’t be in my head at all. I don’t watch violent movies or play video games, I live a peaceful life with zero conflict or stress. The most dangerous thing I face is coming across a wild boar while walking my dog.
I suffer from insomnia so I’m knocked out with meds but these dreams are terrible. I could really do without them.
I’ve brought it up with my dr. And he changed a sleeping med. which worked for a while. But at the moment I don’t want to change my meds as day to day I’m not suffering. During the day I’m doing quite well. I don’t even know what to call it as I have a stress free life.
If I lived in the town I was born in I could understand but I’m far away from there in a very safe country with no conflict issues. So I really don’t understand.
I had counseling years ago when I first got sick to pinpoint my main stressor which was my work environment. We went through everything in my past and nothing came up apart from work stress which triggered a mental breakdown.
Which in turn morphed into various mental sickness which revealed the sz after years of searching for the right meds.
I don’t want to wake my wife and it’s still too early to wake my dog,
My dream world is a messed up place.
I experienced terrible dreams while I was on trazodone…perhaps it is med related…

I will certainly bring it up with my dr.
I’ve noted down all these dreams as soon as I have them before they go hazy.
My sz feels under control during the daytime it’s just when I sleep.
It’s taken years for me to feel good during the day on meds but consistently violent dreams must be something and the only thing I can do is change or add a med.
Just wondering if anyone else has violent dreams? Or even violent thoughts during the day? I know normies see us as dangerous but I’m far from that.
Ok time for a Xanax and then a nap until sunrise.
