Anyone notice an increase of dreaming during peri menopause?

[kiltgirl]

hello...yes I think I've noticed this...I haven't been aware that I've had any dreams in years but lately keep waking up in the small hours realising i've just had one...weird!

[toffeecushion]

Me too, not really nightmares but not nice dreams.

I'm having some weird dreams that are hard to shake off X

Definitely weird dreams are a menopause symptom. I had a break from HRT for 3 years during my early 50s & my sleep was very broken and any dreams I had were unpleasant and would keep me awake because I couldn't get them out of my head.  When I went back on HRT, one of the first things I noticed was that I was getting better quality sleep with good dreams.
I've just had a horrible night - I managed to drop off to sleep but woke quite quickly & then couldn't' get back to sleep.  I felt really hot and restless and the bits of sleep I did get gave me horrid dreams.  Off to work now - I hope I can concentrate.  DG x

I was on beta blockers last year and found my dreams horrible, frightening about family members, can be a side effect seemingly. Anyway now off them and on HRT and now my dreams are good, sometimes waken myself laughing! When i awake in the morning i have a chuckle to myself. Sometimes they are a little risky if you know what i mean reminds me of the TV programme Stella that was on, she was put on HRT and had some erotic dreams, at the time I thought Aye right ill have some of that, now ive got some of that

Its weird isnt it DG...hope you m

Yes, me too!! I dream a lot, and can even dream on the sofa if I fall asleep - they're very vivid too!  I notice it more on the Utrogestan phase of my HRT.

Vivid dreams every night. Last night I was buying a bra, I asked for sassy.  Got see- thru number. Then tried on a chiffon playsuit which was in a sale for £80. So much detail. Should have seen my hair this morning!

Hi
Ye I mentioned dreams about family members they were so scary, that was few months ago and still I can visualise them, really messed with my days x

My medication gives me busy, involved, long dreams - brain picks up something from the news, adds friends not thought of for years++, situations that I have glimpsed in the day-time and runs with it all: not awful but stupidly involved!

[jacquiellen]

I have bad dreams since I started HRT, definately a link between the two for me! Didn't sleep as much before I started on the HRT but when I did, I didn't dream.
Most dreams are not nice dreams either.

[CLKD]

I found that if I slept in the day I didn't dream at all

Hi - on Northisterone phase I get bad scary dreams!

[CLKD]

Well I had some wacky dreams last night 

1 was about my hairy legs.  I was asked along to a 'do' which meant wearing a skirt  so I went in a long one but when I sat the legs were on show  …… and someone was really looking in disgust at them ……. [I looked at my legs as I slipped into bed]

another was about being bombed - I was on the outside of a village and all hell was happening around me, bombs being lobbed into a corralled village in Africa: but no-one seemed to see me …… however, I decided to lay down and play dead - but I wanted to save my wedding ring because if someone tried to pull it from my finger I would move ……

can't remember the 3rd - it was vivid though.  I'm ready for sleep now.
