I was diag. 2 years ago, although I have
had sp's & cp's for 15 years previous
to that and didn't know what they were.
None of the meds I have been on have
controlled the sz's. I am seeing a new
neuro who prescribed an ambularory eeg.
Monday I go in for an mri.
Question: I have only seen one person
have a gtc. That was years ago, all I
remember is him shaking and at the time I
had no idea what I was seeing. (his
daughter was comforting me!)
is it possible to dream realistically of
having a gtc using that info and that I
have only had one that I know of? To
dream so real that the it dosen't fade
like most do? Or is it possible to know
you are seizing (gtc) even when you are
going into the tonic stage????? The
reason I ask is this morning(while still
hooked up) I dreamed? Of the tonic
stage???? I remember jerking backwards
and moaning or sort of yelling. Is that
a dream? Is that a sz????
The 'memory/dream' is very brief. When I
woke up from my nap I was
sleep-drowsy...Not confused..Etc.
Does anyone else have dreams that are so
realistic? Any feedback would be
appreciated...Thanks

Froggy,
when I have a grand mal I am aware of
things and can hear whats going on around
me. When they happen in my sleep it does
seem as though its a dream, I feel like
i'm half a wake half a sleep. I know that
my body is trying to fold in half
backwards or go into a fetal postion, and
shake/jerk.
The more into the seizure the more the
noises seem distorted to me. Afterwards I
don't remember everything, just bits and
pieces.
It does always seem very vivid to me.
My other seizures I have in my sleep are
kinda like this in away to very vivid,and
strange feeling....
I hope this helps..... If you have any
questions just ask.
Jill

I appreciate your answer. The grand mals
are 'uncharted territory' for me. I've
had sp's & cp's for years...
