[amanda morris]

I had a dream last night! that i remember! i dont know if that means my brain has found a way to compensate or that part of my brain is healing or what but it was the 1st time in over two years that i can rember having a dream and im thrilled

I dont remember to many dreams, but they are bad when i do, i think my mind blocks me from remembering most of them best of luck to ya

[Vicky Varichak]

That seems like a good thing to me.

You can only look at that as good because at least your mind made that connection to dream and then to remember that dream.  Congratulations!

I think I almost never dream at least I sure don't remember them. Once in awhile I will wake up for no reason at all and then when trying to fall back asleep, I wonder if it was a dream that woke me up. So congrats to you from me.

i  think   dreams  are   a  good  sign....Most  of  mine  go  back to  when  I  was  working,  and   somehow,  it  comes  into  the  dream  that   I   have  tbi,  so  i  probably  won't  be  able  to work  anymore...  and  actually,  at  my  age,  it  is   a  good  ending...    and  lets  me  know  that   former  days   are   remembered,  as   well  as  my  condition....

I don't dream very often, at least I don't remember dreams very often, but when I do, they are so real I am not sure it was a dream or reality...at first. Case in point: One night I woke up all pissed-off because my car had been stolen. I had gone out for pizza and when I went to get in my car to leave, it was gone. I was not a happy camper. I laid in bed just stewing and getting really upset for a few hours. "What am I gonna do now? Will my insurance cover it? I can't afford another car. Where am I gonna get a new car? I liked my car. I'm stuck here in my apartment unless someone comes and gets me. Oh f!@#!!!" After stressing and losing a lot of sleep, I thought. "Well if my car was stolen, how the hell did I get home?" I did not remember riding in a police car. I didn't remember getting a ride from anyone, so...? I got up at about 3:00 A.M., went outside to the car port, and there was my car, right where I left it. That's just one dream I've had. There have been three or four in the last few years and they are extremely real: complete with sounds, smells, feelings (touch, pain etc.), everything. It's kind of freaky actually.

I actually put something on this group about myself actually remembering what I had dreamed about 3 weeks ago and I was thrilled too!  I can only imagine that our brains are going through some sort of healing process in terms of our memory.....but I still have my usual daily short-term memory problems still....and my memory seems to fluctuate in terms of severity of memory...somedays I remember more than others....today was a very bad short term memory day....I even stayed indoors and cancelled going on a bike ride again...but I did go yesterday!  Felt like "poop" today and the memory was'nt helping me!  Oh well, there is tomorrow!  Mayby it will be an "amazing Memory Day!"  Anyway Amamda....how was your daytime memory today?  Keep me posted on what your memory does in a couple of weeks....Even though I still think that the brain is so complex.....it is healing and probably "changing" and healing neuronal conncections that were damaged....Basically, "We know as much as many very smart brain specialists!  Isn't that amazing!  Anyway.....I'm thinking that our brains are going through a healing process....What do you think?

I am apparently a very high functioning person with tbi. I am a therapist, so I have been teaching my patients compensation techniques for so long that after about six months back at work I had incorporated the compensation techniques into my everyday life. I have everything fixed to where I don't ever really have to remember anything. I keep a notepad in every room, with a pen, and I have them at work and in my car. Everyday I look through them and keep track of my thoughts throughout the day, like remember to buy milk, or look this up on the internet, etc

I'm gonna do some more research on this...being able to remember dreams...I mwan...this must indicate some brain-cell healing process...or something....strange...but I remember I was really excited when I remembered what I dreamed also....It had been a little since before my accident in Aug 2008 when I remembered a dream...

I had my wreck in December of 2009, and it took two years and 1 month for me to remember a dream
