I know that one of the side effects of the beta blockers I am taking to help control my migraines is vivid dreams, but do they have to be horrific and scary dreams? All I remember from my dream was that I was driving and I saw this beautiful eclipse (or so I think that is what it was) It was a big, round, bright beautiful moon or maybe it was the sun, not sure.
Then the next thing I realize is commotion on the freeway that I am driving on. Cars are everywhere! People are frantically screaming and scurrying to get out of their cars. I am driving with my kids (of course, because what could be more scary then being worried about all of your childrens safety?)
I am frozen. Not sure what to do. Do I get out of the car? What's going on? Has there been an accident? Is it the jolly green giant? Then suddenly people are screaming and desperately trying to run away from something. Not sure what, maybe it is the jolly green giant? All I know is I want to get out of where ever I am. So I just keep driving, on the median, over curbs, through the bushes, gravel and dirt desperate to drive fast. Of course it's a dream and you can never run or drive fast in a dream....and then I wake up....heart racing, head hurting....and now I will never be able to go back to sleep....so I surf the Internet for the next 3 hours til people start stirring in my house.....looks like I am gonna need a nap today.
p.s.....I was hoping when I read the label about the vivid dreams being a side effect that it would be more like insightful dreams maybe a dream that would inspire me to write a series of teen books and make like a gazillion dollars. Not dreams that wake me up in the middle of the night and leave me sleep deprived with bags under my eyes. And because of my old age I find it impossible to go back to sleep......waah waah waah

Maybe we should have a nap together. I was up all night too. Between Tatum getting up every 2 hours and Jaden needing pain meds...I am a zombie today.
I am so sorry this is a nasty side effect. This is weird. I was just sitting down to email you and ask how you were feeling on the beta blockers and if you were having side effects. Seriously, I was just thinking about it as I was getting ready and heading my fingers over to the keyboard! And here is your post! Hopefully, the side effects will wear off. Is is still helping with the migraines?
Will call you later to share something with you that made me smile.
Oh man, I hate dreams like that...and I hope you got some sleep! Get rested up for our big weekend coming up!! Love, Shawni
That light you saw was probably the aura. Nothing worse than waking up with a migraine. I have been battling them lately too. My meds are not working very well. It is awful. Migraine hell can be so debilitating.
