Since childhood I have found that if I run a high fever that I will have the same dream over and over which even when about a neutral subject will become nightmarish upon repetition.

Just about two years ago I woke up with such a dream going though my head in the final hour or so that I was attempting to sleep. I would wake up just to return to the same dream when asleep again. I went into a depression starting that same week. This has now plagued me every day since that time. The topic of the dream varies from day to day, but repeats every morning. It leaves me feeling tired and more depressed. The start of the day is by far the hardest time for me. It seems as if breaking the dream cycle might help me break the depression as well.

I am seeing a psychologist regarding the depression. He says that although I do not have OCD, that this dream cycle is "obsessive" and started wondering if anybody had been prescribed a drug that helped with stopping such dreams. He thinks no psychologists in my city are likely to know if this is the case, so I am hoping somebody here might have heard of something about this.
