Title: NOW I see why my wife could, and needed to, always tell me her dreams in detail.
Post by: ainsley on May 27, 2015, 02:56:39 PM
Oh my goodness!  I recently switched from Depo Provera injections to Micronized Progesterone capsules taken at bedtime.  I have never in my 47 years dreamt so much and so vividly.  I wake up often and feel relieved to realize that I was just dreaming.  I tell my wife my dreams in great detail.  She is getting a kick out of it because I always listened to her dreams, then would razz her for how she remembered them and felt like they were so real.  NOW I UNDERSTAND.  I mean, I totally get why she would feel so compelled to tell me about them because they seem SO real when you are in them and then having experienced them, when you wake up you feel like it was a real experience that you just have to tell someone!  Crazy!  I guess it is just dessert for me always kidding her about her dream detail and insistence of telling me about them. ha!

Anyone else go through this?

Oh I so get this, unfortunately I have no one to share my dreams with. I've posted on the dream thread a few times but I can never convey the emotions in the dreams well enough in text.
I used to wake up thinking "wow that was weird" and get on with my day, now the dreams can stay with me for days.

YES! Commonly reported effect with bio-identical progesterone. I think, more so in those taking it orally due to high concentrations of its metabolite, allopregnanolone.

Erm. . . any chance of a translation for idiots like me? At least 20 of those words were too long for my brain, lol

Haha, me, too!

Well, I am glad to know that it is not just me.  I have the vivid dreams every single night.
