> thanks.Hi,
MANY posters have said they have more interesting, vivid dreams that they really enjoy. I think only one person from past postings had nightmares. A lot of people say they miss the dreams when they go off Effexor.
Noone has said anything about being psychic though. The posts I read were from the beginning in 1999 and since May 2003, probably 1,000 I've read. I did read in a Newsweek cover article about dreams that, they are not so much about something that you have to figure out like Freud believed, but people have to sleep so your brain can heal itself and it goes to all the connections and does repairs, which is why sleep deprivation is a torture, because your brain has not healed from what has happened each day. I guess it makes sense that dreams can be so wierd because all the different memories at the sites being healed are all lumped together in a dream? I'm guessing...
I particularly liked the Effexor dream I had where Bruce Willis was trying to convince me to date him! Hee hee. Yankeegirl
