I have been practicing lucid dreaming for about 6 months. I was becoming lucid fairly often (sometimes every single night!), and thought I was progressing well. Then Dec. 1st, my doctor put me on hydroxyzine (Atarax), and everything was flipped upside down. The first couple of nights I barely slept, because I kept dreaming and it was waking me up, and all of a sudden no more lucidity. I went off of it, about 4 nights ago, and the next two days were good. I became lucid, and even in my lucid dream, I told my husband see it was the medication holding me back just like I thought.
Well two days ago, I started on Wellbutrin (I have been on it previously and never had this), and again my nights are filled with constant awakenings due to the nightmares. Like I could fall asleep for a couple minutes, have a nightmare and then I'm up again. Last night, I feel like reality and dreaming was blurred. I was in my bathroom, and my husband came in and asked why I wasn't sleeping and I told him I keep having nightmares. He said he was too and that we were nightsharing. Then he said lets try to get some sleep. I woke up from that thinking it really happened. Then the rest of my nightmares were dreams where I was sleeping and having intense nightmares. It's so confusing. So once again, I cannot become lucid. I know if could attain lucidity I could change the dreams and maybe stop them so I could get some sleep.
Has anyone ever experienced anything like this?
