Dreams

[Christ_empowered]

some psych meds have caused horrific nightmares. one...a common one...was just too, too much...the nightmares were too vivid, too frequent. wasn't worth it.

if i take my b-100s too late in the day, my dreams turn vivid, in your face, saturated in color. not always a big deal, but it is when the dreams are unpleasant, of course. blah.

I learn a lot from my dreams. It is one of the ways the Holy Spirit talks to me. A few years ago, I had a dream in which my mother appeared to me. She was pregnant. I screamed, "You are going to do to another child what you did to me?" My scream woke me up. I called a therapist and for a long time we discussed why I was so angry at my mother. It turns out it is for several reasons. She abandoned me. She told me often that she did not like me, and, finally, she was my scape goat. I write about this is my book, The Art of Changing. To make a long story short, I forgave my mother and she forgave me for my anger, just weeks before she passed on. Dreams tell us what is going on in our sub-conscious so we can process it with the help of an enlightened witness.

I was put on a drug that blocks serotonin. LSD works by blocking serotonin as well, keep that in mind. I never wanted to take them and i felt no effects when i was taking them.

Then i experienced 3 events over 3 nights that really scared me.
First night I kept getting woken up by a short, loud sound. Sometimes it was a bang, a crash, someone yelling my name, etc. Later on I found out that this is called "exploding head syndrome"

Next night i woke up to go to the toilet. As i've gone to get out of my bed there was an old man sitting right there beside my bed. I threw a few punches as it disappeared and i ran out of my room screaming. I was convinced that it wasn't a dream, i was awake. "Who was that?" i asked myself, "was it God?" I had no idea

On the 3rd night, as i was falling asleep, I see this blue orb, like a light, dancing up near the ceiling. Again i ran out of my room screaming. "What was that, a spirit or something?" I was afraid and confused. I thought I was loosing my mind. I'd never experienced anything like it.

I learnt that this phenomenon is called "sleep hallucinations" and is related to sleep paralysis, which i hope i never experience. They occur when your falling asleep or waking up.

I figured out that this medication was responsible for these peculiar events. I was horrified to see not only hallucination, but many other serious side effects for this drug.

I saw my doctor and I stopped taking them. I had some mild sleep hallucinations in the following weeks as the drugs got out of my system and by body went into withdrawal. By mild i mean that the images i saw in these following few hallucinations were faint, transparent and fading away.

It was so frightening, I don't wish that on anybody.
