Do you dream? (or at least, do you remember your dreams)..
Do you have recurrent dreams?
Do you assign meaning to your dreams?
One recurrent dream I have is of being somewhere where I need to use a phone urgently and all the numbers I need aren't on it, so it's a very frustrating panicky situation.
Last night I dreamt I was trying to take a shower in someone's loft. Someone was already in there + came out so I stepped in but the shower curtain didn't fit and the water was going all over bags of belongings.
Then I found I didn't have a towel to dry myself.
Then I remember saying these words: do you think that all the organised people in the world who are trying to control their lives, who lead quiet lives, who like everything in order, who notice fine details and are careful in what they say and do are autistic and the rest are not?
In my dream I'd decided that half the world was autistic.
I take an SSRI and it gives me extremely weird dreams fairly regularly. I don'tthink they mean anything really- just my brain trying to process whatever's been happening lately.
My one recurrent dream is that I'm back at university but it's halfway through term and I haven't ever opened my email, and I haven't been to any lectures at all, so I'm really behind, and when I try to start going to lectures I can't find any of the buildings. I think it's a stress dream but I have no idea why my brain does THIS in response to stress!

So do I (Paroxetine) but I'd forgotten that a side effect can be 'abnormal dreams'.
Food for thought there although I was having vivid dreams that I remembered before I was on them.
Yeah my dreams were already pretty vivid but they're definitely worse now! They're mostly just strange though so I'm not too concerned.
