Dreams are of our subconscious mind, therefore they may seem distorted to some, but in actuality are very real parts of our being.  They can be strongly influenced we are facing strong emotions in our life - hence giving you the very real sense of your senses in your dream.  There have been many times that my husband has had to wake me as I was running and crying - left over results of an alcoholic, abusive marriage- he has learned to wake me slowly and gently and then remind me of my surroundings.  So some can be bad.  He also knows there is one where I somewhat purr and he talks to me and I tell him later, that I have to lie at the alter of the Lord and I'm to ashamed to offer any more than this.  He then goes back off to sleep and says within minutes I'll be up writing a story book or poetry or a letter to someone based upon my time in the dream.  Our subconscious can often be a safe outlet for what we cannot consciously do.  Those around us, like my husband have to learn this.  Several times he has woke cussing terrible and swinging his arm and pointing his finger and as I've listened he's been given his Dad what for - something he can't feel he can do in person. So dreams do not have "dream book" meanings - they have meanings to you as an individual.  God will reveal them to you if you ask him. and if he doesn't, then I've learned I don't need to know.

More than likely the strange dream was due to the infection and not the meds. None of the meds listed would cause hallucinations even if taken together. Hope you feel better soon.

I have dreams that are SO realistic about being in Nazi germany during the worst of it..(I have no members of my family that were there).I also speak foreign languages in my sleep that my husband says are very clear, but he doesn't recognize the language.(We both know some German, though).. (One of the other lives I think I've had is in Cleopatra or Nefertiti's time.)

as a Christian, i totally believe that dreams sometimes come to alert us of certain things.  Sometimes when we are victims in the dreams we may have troubles and trials coming our way, from a Christian perpective.  When we are the agressors in the dreams, it may also indicate that we have some evil disturbing our peace, again from a Christian perspective, if you are not a Christ follower, disregard this message if you prefer.

Daydreams\n\nStudies show that we all have the tendency to daydream an average of 70-120 minutes a day. Day dreaming is classified as a level of consciousness between sleep and wakefulness. It occurs during our waking hours when we let our imagination carry us away. As our minds begin to wander and our level of awareness decreases, we lose ourselves in our imagined scenario and fantasy.   Click here for a more in depth look at daydreams. \n\nLucid Dreams\n\nLucid dreams occurs when you realize you are dreaming. "Wait a second. This is only a dream!" Most dreamers wake themselves up once they realize that they are only dreaming. Other dreamers have cultivated the skill to remain in the lucid state of dreaming. They become an active participant in their own dreams, making decisions in their dreams and influencing the dream's outcome without awakening.   \n\nNightmares\n\nA nightmare is a disturbing dream that causes the dreamer to wake up feeling anxious and frightened. Nightmares may be a response to real life trauma and situations. These type of nightmares fall under a special category called Post-traumatic Stress Nightmare (PSN). Nightmares may also occur because we have ignored or refused to accept a particular life situation. Research shows that most people who have regular nightmares have had a family history of psychiatric problems, bad drug experiences, people who have contemplated suicide, and/or rocky relationships. Nightmares are an indication of a fear that needs to be acknowledged and confronted. It is a way for our subconscious to make up take notice. "Pay attention!" \n\nRecurring Dreams\n\nRecurring dreams repeat themselves with little variation in story or theme.  These dreams may be positive, but most often they are nightmarish in content.  Dreams may recur because a conflict depicted in the dream remains unresolved or  ignored. Once you have found a resolution to the problem, your recurring dreams will cease.   \n\nHealing Dreams\n\nHealing dreams serve as messages for the dreamer in regards to their health. Many dream experts believe that dreams can help us avoid potential health problems and help us to heal when we are ill.  Our bodies are able to communicate to us through our dreams to "tell" us that something is not quite right with our bodies even before any physical symptoms show up. Dreams of this nature may be telling the dreamer that he/she needs to go to the dentist or doctor.\n\nProphetic Dreams\n\nProphetic dreams, also referred to as precognitive or pyschic dreams, are dreams that seemingly foretell the future.  One rational theory to explain this phenomenon is that our dreaming mind is able to piece together bits of information and observation that we normally overlook or that we do not seriously consider. In other words, our unconscious mind knows what is coming before we consciously piece together the same information.\n\nSignal Dreams\n\nSignal dreams help you how to solve problems or make decisions in your waking life.\n\nEpic Dreams\n\nEpic dreams (or Great dreams) are so huge, so compelling, and so vivid that you cannot ignore them. The details of such dreams remain with you for years, as if your dreamt it last night. These dreams possess much beauty and contain many archetypal symbology.  When you wake up from such a dream, you feel that you have discovered something profound or amazing about yourself or about the world. It feels like a life-changing experience

I have to agree with the others.  It sounds like you are trying to run away from something in your life.  Something that you fear has the potential to be harmful, but at the same time....that you really don't have totally figured out yet.\n\n  You try and avoid dealing with it...but even doing that is fraught with unknown twists and turns.....and the harder you try and avoid it.....the more and more it looms over you.\n\n  To the point where....you start having dreams like this.\n\n  Whatever it is.....it would be best to confront it and see if you can decide what sort of concrete decisions you are going to make in order to deal with it. \n\n   Ummmmm....does any of that seem to fit with what's going on in your life right now ??\n\n   My guess is that it might....or else you would not be having dreams that contain this sort of message ??\n\n   Bob

Hi, my name is CJ.  \nI have experienced night terrors , on and off,  for years.  \nLooking back,  they seemed to occur at the most stressful times of my life, and usually when I was dog ass  tired. \nMy night terrors are more then nightmares.  When I'm having a nightmare, I know its not real,  and that if it gets too scarey I can wake myself up.   With my night terrors,  I at times,  find myself dreaming w/ my eyes open, and have self-induced hallucinations..  seeing things or people in my room,  and reacting and/or talking to them.    Usually, I wake up the next morning exhausted, not remembering my dream,  until my husband reminds me that I was talking to the black shadowy figure in the corner,  telling him to back off !  When I was 8 months pregnant w/  my son,  I was sleeping in our bed,  and dreamnt that I woke to find this dark hooded figure reaching thru the window,  thru my headboard for me.  According to my husband,  it took him close to 15 min's to convince me no one was there. I later just blew it off as being protective and anxious for my newborn child on the way. \n   Weird huh ?   Sounds almost like someone who did too many drugs in the 60's,  and I've never touched em !  lol \n\nWhat are yours like ?

I had a dream about this the other night believe it or not...I was  dragged kicking and screaming through  frustration from the witness box because the prosecution put the questions in such a way that I couldn't say what I wanted to.

I've had both hallucinations.  That's why sleep is important.  Without the regulating effects of sleep, even psychotic episodes are possible.\n\nOnce, I saw my rabbit unlock his own habitat, hop to the kitchen where I swear I heard the refrigerator door open and close.\n\nLuckily, no beer was missing...to sleep perchance to dream.

Freud interpreted dreams as being symbolic manifestations of subconscious desires which were too dangerous to face up to in their real form.\nHowever, these days, most psychologists are more likely to believe that dreams are either random triggerings of old memories, thoughts, and perceptions; or somehow the brain's way of sorting out the important stuff from the rubbish.\nThere is no 100% accepted theory of why we dream, but in general, the idea of "dream interpretation" is mostly disregarded these days.
