Hey all, I am sure its not just me, but
most everyone has vivid dreams when they
are sick. I have had vivid dreams while
running a fever as long as I can remember,
to the point where it is more of a
hallucination then a dream which in result
lets me get little to no sleep when I am
sick, and I am sure most people experience
this as well.
Just recently I got sick and the same
vivid dreams accure, and I am just
wondering why exactly this is?
I can think of 100's of educated guesses
why people have vivid dreams while under
the weather, but I want more then an
educated guess, id like to see some
results of research done on it. I have
been searching the web for a while now
with not much results so if anyone has a
link I could go to with this information,
or even some input that would be grate
hope this isnt too off topic, but this was
the most relivent forum/topic I could find
to this matter. I did not see very many
sleep forums that seemd to be helpful.
Anyways thanx in advance.

I experience the same effects when I have
fevers. I read about this and it turns
out that these hallucinations are caused
by extremely high fevers and that is
because your brain is only functioning to
get rid of your sickness.
When I get these hallucinations it's
always the same one- everything seems
normal and then all of the rooms behind me
start to collapse in a wave like form
coming after me. In some cases I start
to run in fear of not getting crushed to
death.
It's scary but it happens.

My dreams are never scary but are
typically very repetitive. Like for
example the one I had this time was the
same every night, and it was about these
difrent numbered shelves, and I had to
organize ... Stuff... Don't really know
what it was, and the same 3 numbers kept
popping up. It was more like waching a 2
minute clip of a movie over and over
again. But typicaly all of my dreams that
I have with a fever are repetitive like
this and it ends up giving me a headache,
or wakes me up annoyed that its hard for
me to sleep. Nyquil helps alot though, I
love that stuff =)
