Hi All,

So I was wondering if any of you have noticed a change in your dreaming and sleeping patterns since you have become depressed. I am not taking any medication at the moment. My depression started several months ago and I feel this constant negative thinking has had a major affect on my sleeping and dreaming. At first, I had a really hard time falling asleep, but now I sleep a lot but do not feel that rested in the morning. I feel like I am constantly dreaming and it does not allow me to get restful sleep. I also noticed that my dreams all have a dark tone to them and they are very detailed. I feel like these dreams only work to solidify my depression because it embeds negativity into my unconscious. I actually think it is quite possible that these dreaming patterns aided in digging me deeper into a hole. Does anyone have any thoughts or experiences with this?
