Too much guilt, otherwise it would be paradise.

Recurrent dream of signing up for an 8 AM course in **shudder** English grammar. Decided "Why did I ever decide to take that?" However, didn't bother to drop the course. Never attended, did no homework, never took any tests. Dropped my GPA by quite a bit. Somehow plugged away, ignoring it, trying to raise my GPA through sheer sweat of straight A's. Yes, a nightmare set in 1969. :rolleyes: Now that I have divulged my worst nightmare (no, not really :geek: ), it will never bother me again.

I think my mission dreams were my subconscious telling me that I wanted to go back to church due to the guilt I was feeling at the time. I still believed but wanted to have fun, then, and the church always said "no" when "yes" seemed to be the better course.


It is my subconscious telling me this. Sometimes I even think it's god or departed spirits speaking to me. But I know a lot of it is just a legitimate health condition I live with.

I used to dream about my mission for YEARS after it passed. I'm talking a good 15 years or so. And then one day it just stopped. Now I dream about being in the military even though that ship is LONG GONE. Oh, and if it makes you feel any better I actually had a sex dream last night. No crap. Super rare for me. Anyway, I woke before anything interesting could happen. THAT is conditioning my friend. I've been out of the Church since 2001 and my subconscious still won't let me have a freebie.

Those “F” ers at LDS Inc. really got into my dome, man.

So. What it sounds like is you're experiencing melatonin dreams with a healthy dose of repression. I'd recommend you get yourself into a therapist who isn't connected with the church in any way shape or form. I also recommend you make an appointment with a sleep specialist who can take a look at your meds and maybe help you tweak them a bit.

You need your sleep. This is serious business. Take care of your brain. Don't mess around with this.

I thought I would add this to the mix. The dreams you are having and that others are reporting are all common dream themes.

That said, this summer I was put on a beta blocker. One listed possible side effect is "vivid dreams". Since then, I have had THE most beautiful dreams and the ability to recall them start to finish that I've ever had in my entire life.

Go beta blocker.

Ajax, try a combination of Amitryptaline, Trazadone, and a BiPAP. If you experience dizziness, nausea, or an erection lasting more than four hours see the doctor about the first two symptoms and be grateful for you know what.

There is also 5-HTP, taurine and GABA for nutritional help for sleep disorders.

Jersey Girl be careful with beta blockers, they are addictive, I was on them for over ten years and it took me 2 years to get off them. It took 23 years to find out my BP problems were caused by tumors on my adrenal glands, I didn't need the meds.

Moksha If you get an erection lasting more than four hours you need to find another partner.
