Hello,
I was wondering if anyone has dreams that seem very real. The past few nights I have been experiencing dreams that seem extremely real. It is like they really happened. They are about things that I thought about during the day. These dreams have been mainly about my illness. I had one dream last night that I just could not shake no matter how many times that I woke up. It is not unusual for me to remember my dreams, but not this clearly.
On a different note, my speech has been really poor, meaning that I cannot seem to get out what I want to say. I either come up with strange words that make complete sense to only me or I just cannot say what I want to. I get really frustrated with that, because I used to be able to express myself just fine. Now, my speech has become labored. Also, it has not carried over into my typing so much, mostly because I have lots of time to write down my thoughts.
Anyway, thanks for reading this.

did you recently start a new med within the last couple months? i know when i was on zyprexa and depakote, the antipsychotics, i had that problem with my speech. i just could not get the words in my head to come out of my mouth. it did not happen with geodon and i wasnt on abilify long enough.

I have dreams like this all the time. I get deja vu often and realized it's because I feel like I've dreamed something. I make plans that seem very real until I wake up and realize I was sleeping. Sometimes, I can't tell if I've dreamed something or if it actually happened. I also wake myself up in my dreams. In my dreams I'll be shouting at myself to wake up and then lo and behold I do wake up. It's all so strange but true. After my breakdown my speech was really poor. It has taken some time to feel like myself again and even then I still have a little trouble forming thoughts and then saying them. It's like my brain got really foggy and needed a reboot. I'll be trying to say something and stumble over my words really bad or just stay silent because I can't get the words out. It's easier online because I can take my time to form my thoughts and then get them out on my time.
