Re: I feel like my dreams are eating me alive

Are you on any psychiatric medication? While I was on Lexapro, I had crazy-vivid dreams like this fairly regularly. (It was for this and a few other reasons that I decided to manage my depression without it, after a year or so.)

The only other thing I can think of is melatonin, but when I checked it out on WebMD, one of the potential side effects listed is vivid dreams. But FWIW, my Dad (who is a terrible sleeper and prone to vivid dreaming, too) took melatonin for a while and found that it decreased his REM sleep cycle just a bit. That might work, although I don't think it's a long term solution.

In the meantime, much sympathy from me. That sounds really troubling. :(

This was going to be my comment.

What medications are you taking? One of the side effects of Effexor, for example, is very vivid dreaming.

Also, I'm really, really sorry. I hate dreaming. I almost never remember my dreams, and I like it that way. That six months I was on Effexor was like torture. being pregnant makes me dream bizarre dreams too. I do not like.
