In my dreams I'll be eating spaghetti or cake or something and then panic because I know that it'll trigger problems for the disease. 

Other times, the dreams are disjointed and wild.  Plaquinel does that.

Up until I started plaquinel a year and a half ago I remembered all my dreams when I'd wake up and I kept track of them.  (I'm into the metaphysical).

Now with Plaquinel it's very hard to remember them.

Hi Valene

When I dream I am young and healthy. My life is like it use to be...in my dreams I am in my 30's it seems and my kids are young. My grandparents and dad are in my dreams too (they are gone now).

No indication at all in my dreams of being ill.
It's no woder I love to go to bed at night and take naps!

My plaquenil dreams are vivid, colourful, I can taste, touch, feel, cry, wake up so exhausted as though it has really happened.

If they are good then they are fabulous but if I watch anything sad or violent or if I am worried about something then they can be pretty horrific.  The only difference with my plaquenil dreams is that I dont feel the 'pain' of a distressing dream the next day.  Prior to plaquenil, if I had an upsetting dream it would affect me the next day, but the emotions of the plaquenil dream pretty much go immediately and I am left with clear memories of the dream but not the emotions if that makes sense?

Last night I dreamt I was cuddling my Mum (she died in 2005), I was crying and telling her I was tired of fighting various things (going through some major stress at the moment) and I was asking her if she watches over me, and Mum said she did all the time, I asked her if I could go with her for a bit and she was saying no I couldnt, it was not my time.  I was crying in this dream asking if I could go with her for a short while and she wouldnt let me.

When I woke up, I could still feel her touch, her hands and even smell her perfume but the whole emotion of the dream that made me cry, had gone and it actually felt as though I had seen her but the sad emotions of the dream itself had completely gone.

Plaquenil gives me exceptionally vivid dreams - some nice, some horrible but at least unpleasant feelings are gone the moment I wake up.

(probably bad at explaining it but I know what I mean)

I dont know if plaquenil has changed my dreams.. Most of the time i dream about the past or I am younger than i am.. sometimes they are more current. Last night I didnt sleep good at all and couldn't tell you what i dreamt about !!!

Corella, that brought tears to my eyes!  I too have dreams of my parents all the time (died 3 years ago). I wake up very sad and sometimes I hear my dad calling me.  Glad you had such a lovely dream of your mom!

i reread corella's dream.. it is beautiful.. and to me it just solidifies that we will once again meet those who have passed.  sounds like your mom is your guardian angel. how beautiful

I too think that people that we loved and who have passed on appear to us in our dreams.  I've dreamed of both of my Grandma several times.  Usually about the good times we had together.  I think they even give us little sign that they're watching us even when we are awake such as a one ring of the phone or being awaken by the door bell but no one is there.
