Hi,
Has anyone suffered from the above since having or during chemo ??
I am having some very strange ones not frightening but very real & when i wake i have to actually check it hasn’t happened as my dreams seem very strange but real

P.s I haven’t started Tamoxifen or anything yet, have just had surgery & chemo to date, chemo finished 2 weeks ago.
Yes me too - very vivid dreams, not scary, but very real and odd! Glad its not just me!
Thank you PW, am also glad i am not alone as had feared i was going mad

I’ve not had any strange dreams, (for me) since starting chemo but I’ve had plenty of very very strange dreams. Odd dreams, distinctly different from normal dreams. Are the dreams you’re having set in your bedroom? Do you ‘see people’? I have nightmares too but these are different from my ‘special’ dreams.
Sorry if I sound bonkers too but I’m interested in what I’ve experienced and to exchange experiences with anyone who may have had anything similar.
PM’s welcome but please don’t take the mick as I’m serious about this.
I’ve had some really freaky dreams - ones where I’m not sure if I’m awake, dreaming or what!
I’ve always had quite vivid dreams but these are definitely something else - perhaps the bodies way of working out stuff?
I’ve been repressing quite a lot of emotion lately… I think sometimes this makes dreams weirder?
Hi all
I experienced the same thing on chemo last year and posted about it in a thread called ‘Vivid Dreams’. Always seemed to happen 3 or 4 days after each treatment.

If I dream, I tend to do weird ones.
Have you ever murdered anyone in your dreams? Freud would have a field day with mine, I can tell you!
I also get “emotion” dreams, where I wake up with a really strong emotion but don’t remember the dream, and it takes ages to shake it off.
I’ve been known to wake up sobbing. All very odd. But also pre-chemo, so I just think I’m weird even without the poisons.
Now where did I put that jacket with the extra-long sleeves…?
Ha ha, murdered anyone in my dreams… yes and also sometimes in my fantasies - mwah ha ha ha!
I’ve had the same thing Choccie Muffin - waking up with strong emotion but never a bloody nice one though! Why can we not wake up with a strong sense of joy?
I’ve always thought vivid dreamers are more imaginative and intelligent (which fits in nicely)
I had a really freaky dream last night… I was reborn into one of the Sigorney Weaver ALIENs and had to be given birth to via a giant mother Alien, I went through a giant birth canal and was spat our into a local river, upon which I turned into an alluring looking virginial blonde woman who waltzed up to a group of men and selected my OH to seduce?!
Eventually in this dream I heard a voice saying “You’re never really gone you just become fractals” and then I “died” and got reduced and reduced until I was a key on a keyboard spiralling into infinity…
Then I woke up in a flamin’ cold sweat like I’d been pulled up out of water gasping for air, and feeling very very horrible.
Get a load of that one. No bloody cute fluffy sheep and rolling yorkshire hills for this lass.
Birth , love , death, all in one dream. That’s a goodie.
