Vivid, nightly, disturbing dreams

I have had Lupus all my adult life, now aged 87, was put in Depression bóx' in my 30's and was not correctly diagnosed until i was in my 60's. Have experienced all this time, nightly, vivid, disturbing dreams which means my mornings are crap. Despite asking various Medical people over the years, have had no relevant answers. Have other Lupy people had this as a symptom

  1. Hello, , thanks for reaching out. I hope some of our community members with any experience of vivid dreams can share their experiences with you. Although I'm not familiar with this symptom, I was able to find this abstract about a clinical observation on nightmares and neuropsychiatric lupus that might interest you, https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10234187/. Also, I'm not sure if you're on any medications or not, but certain medications have been known to cause vivid dreams. How long have you been experiencing these dreams?

    I'm crossing my fingers that some of our community members here chime in and let you know their experiences and thoughts!
