Nightmares

I would like to ask everyone with avm's..do you get nightmares alot and i have noticed thru my life that I see,feel,and/or smell dead people...I dont know if its a trick in my mind or i can really do this..cause im so tired of them being around at times..not alot ,just at times..but the nightmares I have had alot all my life,,so does anyone eles have nightmares alot..or very very vivid dreams,,even at times you cant wake up?

I can’t remember if I had nightmares before they removed my AVM? But I rarely remember my dreams now. Maybe recently if I wake up right in the middle of one I can remember and they are usually bad or not pleasant. It doesn’t happen very often that I can even remember a dream. I’ve always passes off they ugliness of them to the meds. Hope this helps. I usually can’t remember them after I’ve been awake awhile unless I tell someone right away and keep telling it.

I have always had vivid dreams. Like I was trying to get somewhere or something or someone was trying to get me. I have had many dreams about my Mother who recently passed away June 10,2011. My grandparents too. Usually I have stressful dreams about school. Trying to get to class and stuff. Don't know why I have them. I am a nurse and have been out of highschool for 20+ years. I just found out I had an AVM 10/09/12 when I had a seizure at work.

My daughter has an avm at the back of her brain, she has nightmares most nights since it has haemorrhaged, I put it down to her worrying about herself?

I wish you the very best in your life.Congrats on being a nurse that takes dedication.
If it wasnt for nurses doctors would be out of business cause they dont do anything except charge you alot and diagnose...nurses can do that and more..I am sorry you had a seizure tho..I have not had any. I do at times when I lay down jerk sometimes but not like you had done. Thank you for ansewring my question...and God bless

It could be but I have had nightmares all mu=y life and latley alot..so it could be a little of both. I do not know cause there are so many different symptoms with so many people with avm's. I wish you daughter all the best♥

I go thru spurts in my life where thats all I do is dream and I so remember them..then times I cant remmeber them at all...and times i dont dream at all...its so weird.God Bless you and thank you for answering my question :)

Interesting. I was going to ask a nightmare dream as well, only mine is always about doctors telling me that my daughter’s AVM has regrown. Starting to give me the creeps.

Hi Shania52. Are you familiar with Simple Partial Siezures? You may wish to read about the various categories on this link…http://www.epilepsy.com/epilepsy/seizure_simplepartial
And yes meds can also affect your sleep cycle.
I would suggest taking to your doctor about this situation.
