For the last week or more, I have been having what I call "disturbing" dreams. They're not the nightmare, bogeyman type of thing, but whatever happens in them is upsetting. I even wake up sometimes with my heart pounding. For example, last night I dreamed I was out with a bunch of friends. I got in my car to go home and didn't put the brakes on fast enough, so I hit one of their cars and it slid into another. I did have a car wreck last month--totaled my car and now have a new one.....However, other dreams have also been upsetting ones about other things. Maybe I have repressed their content, but as I say, there's always something that happens that is bad.

I am taking trileptal and then one trazodone pill at night. Could either of these possibly be causing the problem? I'm almost to the point where I don't want to sleep. I'm also feeling depressed.....Could that in itself be affecting my thinking negatively even in my dreams? I know I'm asking a lot of questions in one thread--but I am searching for the "why." Thanks.
