connection between heroin use and nightmares

[sicksadswirl]

When SWIM blows lines of H later in the night when she believes it's worn off and she starts to fall asleep she has nightmares.


The other night SWIM felt like she was falling into a dream and she couldn't help not falling asleep even though she tryed. Sort of like nodding off. She even woke up screaming once.


Connection?


Don't know if this is an idiotic post. If so please excuse me.

i've had both really good and really awful dreams with opiates. i think
there is some connection between opiates and brain activity during
sleep.



withdrawls will definately give you nightmares if you can get to sleep at all in the first place, though.

When I first have gotten into opiate use , for about the first year, to year and a half or so I had alot of nightmares and just really out there strange dreams. Not every night but at least 3 or 4 nights a week. They did subside , my dreams became somewhat normal again through time.


I think maybe if the full effect of eurphoria has'nt worn off before you go to sleep, that it may cause the bad dreams.

SWIF has had many strange dreams with opiates particularly with high doses and the stronger ones. It should also be noted SWIF spends alot of time in partial conciousness, when he's aware of his surroundings and not really awake or asleep just floating somewhere imbetween. These experiences from what he remembers were mostly quite pleasent.

SWIF doesnt recall nightmares except for cold turkey withdrawal when he would experience them often and they often related to Opiate use.

SWIM also has had many strange dreams, much like swiF, with higher dosages. Many times they took the form of unpleasant or uncomfortable lifelike situations, if not outright nightmares. Yet SWIM could sometimes not be sure he was dreaming. with H itself, SWIM actually felt like he was IN a nightmare, which has kept him away from the stuff for the most part.

dreams and opiates. yes boyo says when he smokes load of opium he has bizarre fantesy vivid dreams. Swia herself never dreams, Opium on the other hand cause swia to be propelled into this theartre with swia being the only audience watching this play with these people with fake animal masks while they dance and skip on stage not wearing much and making funny little screamy laughs. H on the other hand swia tends to dream sometimes mainly thou they seem to be past events being relived some not nice.not to mention those nasty fall dreams..

Totally agree with Dillydude- Swim's first 6 months to a year on H was acompanied by the weirdest dreams and nightmares ever

[thatsall]

i believe this can happen and a ilaso believe the dreams can be more vivid and pleasant too

Swim got some amazing blue coloured visuals last night in bed after smoking some H....

I was prescribed hydrocodone for about 3 weeks straight due to a knee injury. I'd take 'em for three days straight and then take a break for a day or so and then continue for another three days. Every night I fell asleep on hydrocodone I would have terrible nightmares that felt more real then fake. For example, I wouldn't mean to fall asleep usually, and I'd always nod off into a nightmare that started in the room I was in. It didn't feel like I was asleep. I'm sure heroine can give nightmares if hydrocodone can.

SWIM has also had experience with hydrocodone as well, yet not with Herion. But, as we all know hydrocodone produces must less powerful effects then herion, they are still both Opiates. SWIM has had a few nightmares after taking hydrocodone and falling asleep. SWIM has also, taken hydrocodone, fell alseep, and has woken up not to remember a single dream. But, SWIM can't say that she has ever had a good, detailed dream under the influence of hydrocodone.
I don't think your alone on this, at all. Have you ever heard of the book called, "A Herion User's Tale"? Within the first few pages of this book the author states this, "I didn't want the hassle of herion anymore, the constant waking and sleeping of nightmares of withdrawling.."
The nightmares you are having from Herion, may possibly be produced because your body/mind is in withdrawl from the drug. Maybe slowing down on your intake of this drug would be a good idea.

coming off morphine swim had weird dreams, remembered being really angry for some reason

After shooting, swim remembers that he slept in an incredibly satisfying, and relaxing way, that silence, and peace is incredible. No bad dreams or anxiety, only some stomach sickness.
