well, i was reading up on some food and it mentioned about sleep and REM sleep . them i realized i cant remember when i last had a dream. I dont think i do any more ! and not for the last few years since Dx.
just a strange thing I noticed
Oooh, itās the opposite for me Colum. I have crazy vivid most nights - Iām not sure what that says about my REM sleep!
Apparently we all dream every night, but donāt always remember our dreams. I have some dramatic ones which arenāt clearā¦lots of busy muddled dreams!
Other dreams are clearer and funny, or just rediculous!
But I am always able to walk again. Quite often I dream Iām back at work and no-one will speak to me!!!

I dream every night, but only ever recall very brief snippets of my dreams.
Of course, MS has had a major impact on the length of time I stay asleep now. I seem to have adopted a ālittle and oftenā approach to sleeping these days, having bursts of 1-2 hours kip before waking up, whereas I used to stay asleep for usually 6 or 7 hours at a time.
At least it doesnāt take me long to get back to sleep

I have very vivid dreams. Mostly theyāre quite good dreams and I hate to wake up from them. Itās rare that I remember all of any dreams though (very sad about that). And of course, I am almost always fully able bodied. Perhaps thatās why I love dreaming.

I dream but I only seem to remember the ānewā ones. I always had regular, repeating dreams but since dx Iāve added several new ones, most quite disturbing although on waking Iām left more with a sense of wonder rather than fear.
They new tend to revolve around MS and I think are triggered by pain, so Iāll dream that Iām trying to walk somewhere (often along a cliff path) and then wake up with severe pain in my legs.
Oh, and you know they say you canāt dream your own death? Oh yes you can!
I used to dream about parking my car and then not being able to find it again. Now I dream about losing my wheelchair. But I can always walk. At some point in every dream I think that Iām just having an exceptionally good day.

Colum,
I dream a lot, sometimes good sometimes bad but always interesting.
If I want to try for wild or vivid dreams I will eat a combination of Manchago cheese, some goats cheese and any other interesting cheese. This might not be the wisest diet and I might sound a bit like Wallace (from Wallace & Grommit) but as yet it is my own version of a ālegal highā doubtless some do gooder will warn me off or some git of a politician will try to add a ātripā tax. Until then I will keep on trippinā
Good luck

I might try that Mick. A good excuse to eat a load of nice cheese with the possibility of a really good dream after.

Remember Sue.
Ebeneezer Scrooge blamed one of his ghosts on a piece of cheese.
Sweet dreams ae made of cheese but who am I to dis a brie? (Eurythmisc?)

Nice one Steve. I think Iāll risk it. Just this once. Even if it does drive me crackers.
Sue
Cheese? Crackers? Sounds like a great snack to me!
I rarely dream. Or at least, if I do I canāt remember them.
I only get funny dreams when I eat Port Salute or Roquefort.
Does that make me French or just posh?

I posted about dreaming a while back, saying sometimes when I dream Iām fit and healthy again and playing football, even though I havenāt run for 15 years. Other times when Iām dreaming, Iām back to now, i.e. In the chair or walking with sticks.

Post brexit could make dreams expensive
Imagine the nightmares??
