So, I’ve been having a lot of vivid and disturbing dreams lately and I was wondering how our mental illness might affect that.

I find I dream an awful lot each night and that they are often quite strange or disturbing and involve others harming me.

I’ve been reading up and people with depression for example have more R.E.M. sleep (when people dream) and is more often intense.

What are your dreams like? Do you think your mental health affects your dreams?
