I wish I could remember my dreams well enough for you to be able to help me. It is hard for me to remember more than bits and pieces. Even when I wake and the dream continues. Once it is done, it is just flashes. It is almost always indoors and if there are people in it, I typically don't know them. It is also usually dark or at least low light. Quite often, in my dreams near the time I wake I up, I am aware I am waking up in my dream and once I wake, I have zero memory of it.
I do know that everything is almost exclusively in front of me. One dream, and it is a very rare one and not something that causes auras so I can talk about it, has multi-views. For some reason, I remember this one much better than most. It is in a cemetery. At first it is in front of me, but eventually I can see myself sitting on my coffin. It is extremely bright and I am talking to my mom(she is still alive) while watching funeral procession come and go. I can't remember the topic(s) we talk about but it gives me a great sense of peace, one of the few dreams that does that. As things progress, I get translucent until I disappear completely. I actually haven't had this one in a while.
I don't dream of death a lot, despite the daily suicidal ideation but when I do, I usually die. If not me, someone I know. Death dreams are the exception to the I don't know people in my dream rule.
Lately, my dreams have been bizarre retellings of a show I just watched or a book I read. Like I said, I usually only remember maybe an image or two, nothing concrete.
One strange thing is that I may have the same dream multiple times but usually not close together, but the seizure dreams I only have once. Except the two times I had the weird thing I mentioned in the first post.
I mentioned the sleep paralysis to my pdoc and he didn't seem to care at all so I didn't mention the seizure dreams. I could ask my neurologist but I haven't seen her in 12 years or so. She refuses to see me unless I have another grand mal or something significant changes, I don't know if this qualifies.
