No Dreams. Looking For Explanation.

[Chimera]

I understand that to some, no dreams might seem like such relief.
I had night terrors from always until about the age of 9-10...taught myself self hypnosis to combat insomnia and nightmares. On and off for next 25 years.
But now, I don't dream...like 1-3 a year.

What I am asking is are there others on this sight who never dream? Are any aware of a reason for this?
It does trouble me.

If your using self hypnosis therapy that's probably why you don't dream you taught your self to relax

For me diazepam stripped me of dreams, for which I was very thankful

@claire east that is a provacative thought, I certainly could be doing it without knowing I am doing it, as in a lifelong habit.

@Saelben I'm glad you don't have to experience nightmares anymore too.

I unfortunately stopped diazepam when I started Zoloft :(

 

[claire east]

Yes because it design to protect you and relax your system so much your not aware of it

Have they stayed away so far?

 

[Deleted member 28403]

Nope, started about when I stopped

I am so sorry to know that, are there other things that might help? Possibly self hypnosis or a medication?

I am hoping to get on a train with my 3rd medication which would be for anxiety, but I'm still adjusting to zoloft

Hugs for you saelben, and peaceful nights soon.
