I want to use this blog as a diary of my journey with nightmare disorder, and to perhaps help other people who are suffering from this horrible problem, which no one except the sufferers themselves will ever truly understand. Twitter: @nightmaredis

The coffin
This dream started with me returning from an overseas trip and my friend who had kept my bags for me told me to jump off her 5 story bed, that it was safe. I did so, and was convinced that I was safe, but I thought I might have died, I'm not really sure. Next thing it was my funeral and I saw my navy blue coffin being wheeled into the church. I somehow was in the coffin and out of it at the same time, desperately trying to shout at my dad that I was not dead and neither did I want to die. He did not hear me. A police officer came and told my parents that there was not enough evidence that I had died but they did not believe me and decided to put my in the ground anyway. I was buried alive.

Hi Mel
ReplyDeleteYour dreams are really scary and I can only imagine what it must be like to be afraid to relax and go to sleep at night!
The Serequel is also used for bipolar disorder and I have seen people having other side effects from it. Maybe you should see if Paxil would help you - used for OCD. Besides the medication, if I was in your shoes I would first try hypnotherapy and then yoga with meditation. Maybe if you can be taught how to "switch off" your mind before you go to sleep it would help. Good luck, and I hope you find the answer to the problem very soon. Varinia
