Wow....the stomach thing is hilarious!🤓

Antidepressants definitely can cause nightmares, I have had nightmares for months after altering my dose, I haven't had nightmares since I was a kid, and now they're vivid and feel so real during the time. I find a drop of lavender and vanilla on my pillow or in a diffuser helps tons. A sleep aid is a must if you have nightmares as well :)

95% of the time or more I remember my dreams. I still remember dreams I've had since before grd2 (now in grd11). I also tend to have the same dream I had a while back if the same situation happened like when I move, the first nigh I always have the exact same dream. I love the stomach idea btw XD
