Re: Dreams during Sickness
I suffer from an autoimmune disease.

Since I became sick [about two years], my dreams have certainly become more vivid.

Salvador Dalí, Melty-clock World sorta dreams.

I think it's a combination of my medications [anti inflammatories] and psychological stress.


Like, I might be trapped in an Aquarium sized fish tank, and the people outside won't notice.

Another common dream is a crazy animal/bug appears, and I'm the only one who cares/sees it. [Like, a tiger will be walking around the supermarket]

These could be analogies.

Getting Sick = Tiger in the Supermarket/Trapped in a Fish Tank [or at least, that's what I write them off as]


However; what impresses me most about my dreams is the rendering.

Like, I'll be in an entire area/shopping mall/park, and they're places I've never seen before! Populated with people I've never met.

It's freaky, realizing my subconscious mind has the power to create such imagery.

@Only Me:

Good luck with your treatment! Hope you feel better! [And maybe keep some Raid Ant and Roach Zapper by your bed. I wouldn't want no giant bugs waving at me!]

Big hugs to you, too. I take for granted how good it feels to feel good until I'm sick.

Chronic diseases are tremendously hard on the mental and emotional psyche as well as the physical assault on the body.

Through the experiences shared, it certainly looks as if there is a correlation to more vibrant dreams while sick.

Thank you. *accepts hug*

Although, I always found illness more of a wake-up call than a psychological assault.

I'm just a teenager, and got sick smack in the middle of High School [I've since graduated].



I kept hearing teachers lecture to us about SATs, A-Levels, and whatnot.



"If you don't attend university, you'll be poor and live in a sewer. God will laugh at you."



Said advice could be further broken down into the following diagram:

Good Grades=Good Degree=High Paying Job= Money to buy stuff you want.

WAIT, what the---?

That's the meaning of life?

The path to obtaining money to buy stuff.


I'm a somewhat spoiled girl, and already have a lot of stuff.

My leather handbag doesn't make me feel any better.

Designer boots won't give me the energy to get out of bed and explore the world.

Heck, expensive medications and Specialist Doctor referrals can't heal me.


And even if I didn't have these things, obtaining them wouldn't help my situation.



At my Graduation, they gave us this whole speech about how a great education will lead us down a path of success and happiness.

...LIES!


First of all, my father wasn't college educated, and did pretty well for himself as an entrepreneur.

Secondly, I'm sick but have come to terms with my illness and consider myself happy and admire my own simple achievements [Not passing out, cooking dinner, vacuuming]


If only people turned off the TV, and realized how blessed they truly are.

- because every second there's a cosmic lottery being drawn by God, and we all got a ticket. Whether we want to win or not...[I mean, I certainly never imagined getting sick before it happened - life's funny like that]


Wow, I'm Nietzsche-wannabee at night.

Re: Dreams during Sickness
I've been sick for almost three weeks. Started out as strep and now I've been diagnosed with type A flu (Doctor feels certain it is H1N1).

During this time, I've had some really strong dreams. In my life I've had many dreams come true and these dreams are particularly disturbing (to say the least).

This is an excerpt from my latest dream...

I was standing in an industrial yard. All sizes of steel pipes, metal containers and pvc pipes were lying around. Heavy equipment and even rail cars were in the proximity. It was a massive place and we all were wearing hard hats and industrial ear plugs. I was being given a tour by one of the workers. He was explaining how the steel piping was used in production.
A few minutes into it, there was a slight rumble. I have never experienced the ground moving like that. The metal "clang"ed and machinery groaned. The workers knew exactly what had happened and began moving frantically to secure areas of the yard. The 'tour guide' muttered, "quake", beneath his breath. I arched my brow while questioning his answer at that mild movement we felt. He looked back at me, "You have to realize we just felt the outlying effects of that quake. It just devastated someplace and it's the worst tremblings we've ever had here." I held back my scoff, but asked him how he could possibly know it devastated another area. He turned me by the shoulders to face the west side of the plant.
There I could see... unbelievable... that the earth was disjointed in several places. Smoke was rising up from behind the incline of land. He sighed, "That's gotta be at least a 30 foot difference." He was referencing the land differences from the new peaks to what was the once level ground.
He grabbed my forearmm and we moved to a group that was gathering under a small pole barn that housed huge metal piping. There was a gab of talk concerning what we saw and what we were about to see. Two-way radios were going off and an alarm began sounding in the background. Someone mentioned water flows and I immediately looked to Jim, the tour guide, for an answer. He whispered, "We're gonna flood."

No one ever mentioned it, but I knew the location was California.

Maybe I've just been watching too many enthralling doom movies lately.

That is an interesting, fairly vivid dream, from what you've written. I have found that these types of dreams that have these qualities, are usually something to keep. If it means nothing to you, than it likely doesn't mean anything. However if it does, keep it in mind, it's meaning may come to you years later, or may mean something now.

I've experienced delirium from extreme high fever. This post is about dreams while being sick.

Checked often and it hasn't been above 102.

There are berries, mushrooms and other plants that will do the same and if consumed in high quantity can be fatal.

Re: Dreams during Sickness
Last night I had a dream I was at a wedding.

It was outside and there was a petting zoo for the kids while the reception took place. I'm thinking the pain meds might have had a little to do with this one.

A petting zoo! Awesome
Goodbye, halcyon days...

 There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable.

There is another theory mentioned, which states that this has already happened.
