This week I had some of the wildest, most vivid dreams.

On three different nights, the dreams were so immersive that I could feel sensations like rain and wind. Emotionally, they were incredibly raw. I woke up one morning crying, and another morning, livid. I often have lucid dreams, but these felt more real.

I kept thinking, what’s changed? After some reflection, I realized the only thing different about those nights was that I took 1000mg of Tylenol (acetaminophen) right before bed. I’d been taking it regularly for a few weeks due to a serious injury, but recently had stopped, except for those three nights.

Curious, I did some digging and found out that taking Tylenol before bed has actually been linked, for some people, to more vivid or emotionally intense dreams. 😮 I had never heard of this before!

Just wanted to share in case anyone else has noticed something similar. The power of these dreams has really stayed with me and given me a lot to reflect on.

Combo of surgery pain, drugs, and intermittent dozing sleep has led to BIZARRE #Dreams, especially #VividDreams of things dredged up from long, long ago....

Health question. #vividdreams #sleep

For those who vivid dream, are there ways to wake up before you sleepwalk yourself into harm? Or addressable causes? I’m a month out from three days of seizures I cannot recall.

The night before last I dreamed that I was (despite severely limited mobility and aversion to flights of stairs) down in the cellar/garage and couldn’t get out because the floor was covered with things to trip on. Then I fell and badly gashed my head and called for help.

Grazie.

@mina I don't think so, but my dreams are so vivid, intense, and varied, that it's possible. I try to avoid spending much time remembering them. Mostly because the majority of them are actually nightmares, but the drugs prevent the post-effects. Last night was a nice change though. I was literally about 5 or 6 Spider-Men (the consciousness or POV swapped between them like scenes in a movie), rescuing the coastal people from a typhoon near a petroleum operation in a third-world country. I love being able to shoot web. It's so freaking awesome.

Saw a "deep lore" dream for possible Grim Dark Fantasy story...I am such wasted space for these daily ideas though. Why can't the countless tales strike someone who actually has the ENERGY to chase them and make them into books like they deserve??

Why me? I can barealy make it through basic life tasks, and making art for others to scrape enough money to pay off debt payments. I am the WORST person to give this power.

Nap of many disasters - first an "awareness attack" (sense of feeling my body in HD that would prelude sleep walking/night terror if I didn't know how to stay awake) - decided to fuck it and let it do whatever since It'd be my partner's problem - "cold attack" follows and keeps me away anyway, saved my partner from me walking around in terror - and finally MASSIVE #SleepParalysis and Layered, Realistic, #VividDreams.

Do you ever wonder if your dreams are alternate quantum realities seeping into your brain when you sleep? #JustMe?
