Unable to sleep without dreaming


by: Greg on Fri, Sep 14 2007

For the last six months I have been unable to sleep without having the most realistic and vivid dreams be it daytime or night, allways remembering them and waking every hour and a half or two hours usually talking, the dreams are usually pleasent but unusual, some have people and places I know and some do’nt, few are violent. I eat healthy, am not overweight, walk, run and lift weights most days, am learning to dance, do’nt do drugs, smoke or drink, go to church most sundays and have many close good friends, I’m 53 and male. The doctors I’ve seen have tried sleeping pills and antidepressents but nothing helps, am on here looking for any help I can get.

  • Phantom of the Night - by Linda - (Thu, Sep 20 2007)
    I sleep horribly. I am 53 and try every night to calm myself, to get comfortable, put on the CPAP and try to be peaceful. Instead, I jolt awake and feel like I am dead- like I am not breathing and can’t move. The pulse starts pounding and I have to scream or talk to assure myself that I am o.k. [more..]
