> Will i have these dreams considireng i dont dream to begin with?
Well, its not that you don't dream right now ... its most likely that you don't remember them ... I don't think someone can survive for very long without the sleep in which you dream.
I guess its not a universal thing but I've heard lots and lots of people mentionning the dreams. For me it was only really bad once when I was on 75mg I think and I forgot my pills ... MY GOD the nightmares were SOOOOO vivid. First I dreamed that I was being burned alive ... and I didn't faint "before" the flames got to me. then I was being eaten by a shark ... again without the mercifulll fainting ... then I dreamed that my father was trying to kill me .... and last but not least, I was dreaming that I was dreaming and I knew I was dreaming and I was sort of "stuck" in it and I couldn't "wake up" ... very scary. I went for the rest of the weekend without sleeping because I was too afraid ... but again, this was by going cold turkey.
I tend to dream very elaborate "stories" that don't make any sense but they are quite entertaining ... who knows, maybe they were like that before and I just didn't remember them.
