I started having much more vivid dreams after my episode 7 years ago. One of the medicines they put me on was Amlodipine for blood pressure. Is that what you were taking? My vivid dreams are mostly enjoyable though, not scary.

I asked the doctor one time if the medication could be a factor in the extra vivid dreams but he said no. Experts eh, what do they know? ;)

Try taking Ambien for a couple of days & then stop.... Two fucking weeks of nightmares.

Ramipril definitely causes this too - I witness it regularly 😆

I’m on ramipril and amlopidine, plus some others, I have bad dreams all the time, so don’t get enough sleep. Discussed with the medics but not a lot of alternatives so I was told to live with it! Which I do.

Have you ever had something happen which becomes part of your dreams? When I was a kid, my dad had tiled the bathroom, DIY was not his forte and in the middle of the night loads of tiles fell off into the bath. I was dreaming I was on a bridge that collapsed just as the tiles fell off, and the noise fitted the dream of the collapsing bridge. Scared me to death!!

I used to have pretty good flying dreams, started out just kind of floating down the stairs, then as I grew older it was walking into the wind and taking off, I could clear the drystone wall between our back field and the next farm.
Last of those dreams I was about 300 feet above the Pirelli factory on the way to Dalston.

None of that flapping about shite though, more or less adopting a freefall parachuting pose and soaring.

Err, locations could have been more ambitious but hell, I was flying Mo Fos
