Hey there,

Don't suppose you drink caffeine or things like v cans (with guarana). Just a thought but that may be doing it. i suppose you go see a doc and see what they say since you're not waking up rested. I think we do dream all night but we generally don't remember all the dreams we have or FEEL that we're constantly dreaming while asleep.

wow, i cant believe it. you are the only person who knows what i am going through. i am having the same problems but it has been going on for years. my dreams are so real that it feels like i am awake when i know i am dreaming. it never feels like i get any rest because it is like i am awake all the time, all night....every night. please let me know if you ever found out a way to fix the problem.

I have been having this continuous dreams on certain days and not able to sleep. This started happening only in the past year. I wake up feeling very tired. Even though I feel tired, I never get restful sleep. Sometimes I use Tylenol's Simply Sleep. I am not sure what kind of doctor I should go to.

I've been on sleeping pills for years to combat this problem and want to stop taking them. I went to a sleep study and their advice was that I'll always be this way, why fight it and gave me rx's for 3 different type of sleeping pills. That's not what I want. I want to sleep naturally.

Ever since I was little, I have had weird, crazy dreams. I have always been able to remember my dreams, almost every night. This used to not bother me, but over the past year, they have gotten weirder. I don't know how my brain comes up with some of the stuff. I wake up 4 or 5 times a night and am always so tired the next day. Is there a way to stop dreaming?

I am an Indian and have the same problem, all night dream, please let me know how to stop this... I would like to have a dreamless good sleep

I find it interesting so many people want a "good, dreamless sleep" Is everyone aware REM sleep (where the vivid dreams are happening) are extremely important, and if your body doesn't get it, at its first opportunity it attempts to make up for the lost REM sleep (i.e., nightmares at that point?) You need to dream some. Alcohol, caffeine, smoking, etc. can intensify your dreams if your mind is rebounding (for example, you binged on Tuesday so you had REMless sleep but Wednesday you were sober so you have cracked out dreams all night). The best advice is to cut out the substances like soda, coffee, cigarettes, and food by 8 p.m. and don't go to bed after consuming too much alcohol (passing out). Go to bed at a regular time/same time every night and you will sleep a natural slow wave/REM cycle sleep. But dreaming is a natural 90-100 minute part of our night sleep and a VERY important one at that. Also an FYI - if you are just quitting a chemical (like a prescription, sleep aid, substance addiction) you need to give your mind time to make up for lost sleep before it can return to its natural cycles... So expect a lot of weird activity in some very intense dreams if this is your story
