Last night (actually the “night” happened like 24 hours ago) I had a weird dream about taking a train for some reason, then everyone around me suddenly turned into zombies.
Like what the actual fuck.
I’m gonna get creeped out if I ever get on a train ride.
But shitty thing about sleep medicine is that they apparantly cause dementia if you take them a lot.
ugh idk what to do, don’t wanna get in weird zombie apocalypse dreams tho… 🤷♂️
I had a dream the night before last that I was in an abandoned movie theatre and suddenly we got attacked by ghosts. I was the only one that could see them. The ghosts took the form of puppies and babies that I had to fight using a metal cafeteria type tray, so I was flinging ghost babies into the air with it.
Weird dreams are my normal but I usually forget them.
Man none of my dreams ever make sense. They’re not usually true nightmares, but occasionally. They’re never fun or relaxing, they’re always a little bit WTF, but somehow my brain still tells me, yeah sure, this is all real! And then I wake up confused. Always been that way. I’m jealous of people who have nice dreams. I’d rather have none at all rather than the junk my brain throws at me.
Something with diphenhydramine or doxylamine? They aren’t great to take for very long at all.
But if you notice a dependency, I don’t recommend the RX sleep meds I’ve been on for so long. One was effective for a very long time (15 years? Lunesta I think) but has gotten weaker and weaker. I’m terrified of stopping it though, its a nonbenzodiazapine so it binds to the same stuff as benzos. Taking something so long like that is bound to cause problems when I stop.
I’ve heard therapy helps. But I’m not sure how. Hasn’t done much for me.
I kinda got addicted to sleep medicine.
When I stop taking them, I have weird nightmares.
