My dreams are as real as waking life to me. It feels like I have lived a whole other life in my dreams. I remember 90% of the ones I have. I’ve experienced a lot of bad stuff there and it affects me in waking life and I don’t understand why my brain treats dream events as though they actually happened.

I feel the same… a common delusion of mine is when I think that my dreams are the real world and the real world is a dream
I feel the same. I feel as though i have two lives, my earthly one and then the existences i experience in my dreams. i also feel like all of my dreams are alternate realities and thats why i can remember them sl well and theyre so similar to me but with fantasy elements i think its all real.

It’s important to remember that it is just your brains way of sorting though thoughts and processing information. Don’t let reality blur and think that people are communication or participation with you. Do take in the experience and grow from your dreams!

For me it feels like a different plane of reality like that’s the nonphysical and this one is the physical.

My brain has a really morbid and disturbing way of sorting through information apparently

remembering dreams is a symptom of normal or high serotonin, right. high serotonin personality is typically calm and able to sort through information. and a bunch of other stuff. maybe your episodes of psychosis are due partly to serotonin issues or dysregulation. perhaps thats why you felt some benefit of zoloft and geodon which might have some stabilizing effects on serotonin. just a theory off the top of my head. take it with a grain of salt. everyone on here knows im full of ■■■■.

Yeah I have theorized that before as well as the antipsychotics that were most effective for me involved seratonin activity. Risperidone was by far the most effective AP I ever tried and it happens to have one of the highest seratonin receptor binding profiles of all the others. In addition my hallucinations are remarkably similar to if not exactly the same as LSD hallucinations from what I’ve read and been told, which works by binding to the very same seratonin receptor that APs block.
Excess seratonin can also cause sleepiness which I have a sleep disorder, so who knows. Fairly soon I think an AP is coming out that only targets the seratonin receptor and not dopamine at all and I’m very interested in trying that one.

I sometimes don’t know the difference between reality and dreams like I am unsure if I dreamt things or if they really happened
Is there my sort of disconnect between what you experience and your inner self? Sort of like a delay between your thoughts and what you are experiencing? I’ve had that sort of depersonalization that feels somewhat Dream like.
