I've had strange dreams since I can remember (according to my family, even since before I can remember). It does seem though that since I've been on meds (not just for pain, but different meds for depression in high school) the dreams have taken on even stranger demenensions. Since I started being in pain all the time (a few years now) my dreams tend to be more violent, I often have night terrors and will wake up in cold sweats and/or a panic, just the other day I woke up and started yelling at my boyfriend to leave me alone and give me some space. Apparently, he was nearly falling off the bed b/c I had been kicking and pushing him over for quite some time.. I've tried a number of times to keep a dream diary, but, though I remember my dreams, they're often difficult to break down into writing in the morning. The one time I managed to keep a consistent diary of dreams was when I had mono, man, that fever will give you some crazy dreams...
