Since being on chemo, I'm having more than usual bad dreams. Last night I dreamed my tumors returned to full size. It was so real. I normally don't dream that much anyway, not that I remember. Anyone else having different than normal dreams while on chemo?

Sleep was normal - same
Sleep was normal - same amount and same sort of stupid/silly dreams I always have had - while on A/C for 8 weeks. Now on Taxol and can't hardly sleep. Was given Temazepam and it gave me horrible brutal/violent dreams which I can't ever remember having had any of. It still took between 2 1/2 and 3 hours to get to sleep and then very little sleep, about 3 hours a night. Tonight, I start Ambien so will see how that goes.

Our unexpressed feelings can show up in our dreams.ladybug22 said:dreams
i had them on chemo and i still have them ,they are bad though it was just me.
I'm sorry you are having bad dreams. I would suggest you try some quided imagery to put you to sleep. Chemicals can be affecting your dream patterns but if it continues after chemo stops, you may need some help handling the many fears associated with cancer. I go to a support group but many of us go through this ordeal without allowing ourselves to express the grief and fear that is normal. Dreams can allow an outlet for those fears.
Hugs.
