Do you dream of your pain?
I was wondering if there are others who dream that they are in the pain that they have to deal with during the day. I know for me I do. I dream of the neck/arm pain and I dream of the migraines when I have them.
I went to bed with a migraine last night and I drempt about it all night and woke up with it too.

If I'm experiencing pain during the day, growing up to now, I've always experienced it at night in my dreams ever since I've been a small child. Especially when the pain is bad. I don't take anything to help me sleep. I've never been offered sleep medications. Sometimes I think it would be nice to have something to fall asleep and stay sleeping all night. I have to get up and switch positions every hour or so. I usually rotate sleep from the bed to the couch and back and fourth all night. I'm sure waking up frequently is letting me remember my dreams.
Yes, I definitely have nightmares regarding my pain levels. It's pretty terrible, I didn't know if it was the trazadone at night that helps me sleep or the fact that I go to bed in pain. I think they are night terrors is what the psych doctor calls it. I dream of neck and arm pain too, most of the time, and then sitting at work not being able to get to the breakroom to take medication to stop the pain.
Hi Nicole,
I'm so sorry that you are fighting this Migraine STILL this morning!!!
I don't recall EVER dreaming about my pain. Who knows maybe if I'd been injured and my pain was caused by that then it might have triggered MANY Dreams in me. But since it was just "one of those things" or "the luck of the draw" which ever way you want to llk at it, I've just never dreamed!! I think I'm really fortunate that I haven't. Doesn't seem like that would be a very pleasant way to spend the night. Seems more like a "Nightmare"!!
That's a very interesting question!......Sherry
PS I'll be answering your PM probably this evening. :)

I used to have night terrors caused by the pain. They were so bad that I'd wake up banging my head against the wall to try and get away from the dream. However, for the past MANY years, since I went on Lamictal, I haven't been able to dream at all.

One of my dreams was at the ball field watching my son play ball and I was just cheering him on like nothing was wrong and then I felt this severe pain in my face and I looked around to see if I got hit by a foul ball or someone else hit me and nothing then I am sitting there trying to figure out what the heck is causing me so much pain and then I wake up and alot of pain and know it was me feeling my pain in my sleep. I really hate it cause I should not feel my pain in my dreams it should be a get away from my pain but it isn't.
