Why Am I Having Confusing Dreams?
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

Since being diagnosed, I’ve been having lots of confusing dreams, I can never work out what’s going on in the dream, or if I do I completely forget. I then feel really confused and sometimes have a sense of déjà vu .

Yeah it happens usually when I go to sleep in a bad mood or too late but sometimes just random. They feel like I'm someone else watching a movie in my head that I just don't get if I even remember the dream.

@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member,
I never see the end of my dreams.

I used to never have (memorable) dreams. Now I do. People I don't know breaking into my apartment are the most vivid ones.
I think these dreams are residual effects of the Gabapentin I was administered when in the hospital. (It gave me hallucinations while I was still on it. I had never hallucinated before then.) I'm glad those have faded away.

I have a dream like this nearly every night now, for the first few weeks the dream was about me knowing where my phone is but not being able to get to it. I think this is because I was on the phone when my seizure began. It’s very strange, now the dreams are always a blur or I’ll remember faces at times.

I have a similar thing where it's basically like a dream will start but I only really see the end. I know it makes no sense. It's basically like your watching tv the show starts at 7 and goes until 8 and you jump in on the show at around 7:45-7:50.
