Has Anybody Experienced Lucid Dreaming Associated With Depression?

A MyDepressionTeam Member asked a question 💭
Grahamstown, ZA

Before my downward spiral that lead to my diagnosis of depression I NEVER used to remember my dreams (hence I thought I never dreamed). Lately I am having lucid dreams before falling asleep and during the night. I eventually wake up from the dreams experiencing all the feeling/emotions that occurred during the dream. Unfortunately these dreams are 90% of the time pretty unpleasant and disturbing. Has anybody experienced this?

Absolutely. I don't know if it's the antidepressants or just the depression and anxiety itself. But they seem so real and it can take a little while to shake of the feeling it leaves you with. And unfortunately they are usually something I've been worried about, and the dreams always end negatively. Oh

Something I have learned from my lifecoach and friend is that things will happen. Some of it we will have no control over. I had to learn that so badly. I am much better at it. It's those things that you just have to move with or let pass and then after see ok now what can I do to continue onward.

I find when I am more stressed or coping less I dream way more and feel it way more intensely.

I experience these types of dreams almost daily. I'm awake and have very lucid dream like sequences and they are always terrible and frightening. I feel all of the emotions as if it's happened. At night, I always have lucid dreams. I wake up and still feel anxiety or fear from whatever was happening.
