Okay so I'm on day four of Spiro, and every night since I've been taking it I've had weird vivid dreams, and I  a little deeper. I've always been a really light sleeper so I guess that's a good thing. However, the first day i took it, it was in the afternoon and the dreams were even weirder. I've been on estradiol for eight months with no change in sleep so its either the Spiro, placebo, or whatever.

I dunno, anybody else have weird dreams or different sleep after Spiro?

I feel like I've been dreaming a little more than I used to, but I just put that down to growth and deepening of my emotional life brought on by coming out to myself and others. It never occurred to me to ascribe it to the Spiro.

All my dreams are extremely surreal, have been ever since I was a child, so no real basis for comparison on that front I'm afraid.

(I think you left out a word, which I inserted in red, above)

Since I have been through a couple of sleep studies in the past year, I'll tell you what I have been told.  Stage-IV sleep, also called R.E.M. sleep, is where you do most of your dreaming.  If, for whatever reason - probably more along the lines of lessening anxiety - the spiro has helped you sleep well, then it is natural you would dream more.

Ya that was the word i left out. Phone is terrible at texting.

But yes, that makes sense
