Very interestingI have dreams where I am playing softball and am at bat.  
I can hit but can’t run to first.  Another is I am playing basketball but I am 
hurting my team so I take myself out and sit on the bench.  Next to me is 
my wheelchair.

Most of the time now I am paralyzed, but never to the extent that I actually 
am. For some reason I'm capable of moving my arms and doing things that I'm not 
able to, but I am somewhat paralyzed in my dreams.

Visions of me walking in my head have pretty much diminished over the last 10 
years or so.

Another drug that works well to calm you and wont hurt you is lorezapam. You can take a 1mg pill and it helps out a lot.I have dealt with the crazy dreams at night. When Im experiencing pain or when im dysreflexic from needing to urinate my dreams get more intense.One more thing to add is activity during the day to wear you out helps you sleep. Obviously your level of function depends on how much you can wear yourself out. When I wheel my chair at least a mile or attach my handcycle and do a few miles Im in a better mood, less pain and sleep better.

faster and up hills. The c7 wishes he had just a little more to perform all the 
tasks of a bowell routine. The t4 wants more ab control. The t12 wishes he 
could urinate on his own. The l1 wishes he could feel his penis. The guy that 
can stand and shuffle wishes he could walk. The guy that can walk a little 
wishes he could run. The man that runs wishes he had the guts to ask his dream 
girl out. The guy with the dream girl wishes he had more time to himself.

The meaning of what Im saying is life is a gift and is short. Thousands of 
people die everyday. Thirty five thousand people die in car accidents every 
year. Thirty thousand people commit suicide each year. Ten thousand are 
paralyzed each year. All of this just in the united states.

Try to do what you can with what you have left. Comparing yourself to others 
will bring you misery. If you do one thing each day to improve yourself, it 
will amount to something b4 you know it.

For weeks now I've been waking up every few hours, with panic  dreams. My 
heart is racing, pounding. My breathing is heavy, and I feel  like I need to 
get up. I haven't changed meds or anything. If it was just  waking up in the 
morning like that I could handle it, but it's like 5  times a night. Often 
I think I can't breath. Other times I'm getting  chased by a mob, etc. I'm 
so tired.

Ditto Danny. But you get what you get, so no sense worrying about it. Luckily 
my wheelchair is tough enough that I can bounce around on my property and that 
has helped to keep my leg muscles from atrophying too much. I also sleep much 
better when I have spent the day outside. Joan

Another drug that works well to calm you and wont hurt you is lorezapam. You 
can take a 1mg pill and it helps out a lot.

 

I have dealt with the crazy dreams at night. When Im experiencing pain or when 
im dysreflexic from needing to urinate my dreams get more intense.

 

One more thing to add is activity during the day to wear you out helps you 
sleep. Obviously your level of function depends on how much you can wear 
yourself out. When I wheel my chair at least a mile or attach my handcycle and 
do a few miles Im in a better mood, less pain and sleep better. Each person can 
probally figure some activity to tire themselves out, maybe a handcycle on a 
table like at rehab or have some 20 min routine you do with moving your arms or 
a light freeweight attached to a cuff. 

 

There is a guy on youtube that sets up basic simple workout routines for people 
in chairs that require very little. I set  goal for myself of 30 miles each 
month on my attachable rio dragonfly handcycle. I document the miles and write 
it all down. It helps my mind and the pain from my syrinx and hernia.

 

Good luck

Everybody is jealous of somebody. The c1 just wants to breath on his own. The

faster and up hills. The c7 wishes he had just a little more to perform all the 
tasks of a bowell routine. The t4 wants more ab control. The t12 wishes he

can stand and shuffle wishes he could walk. The guy that can walk a little 
wishes he could run. The man that runs wishes he had the guts to ask his dream 
girl out. The guy with the dream girl wishes he had more time to himself. 

The meaning of what Im saying is life is a gift and is short. Thousands of 
people die everyday. Thirty five thousand people die in car accidents every 
year. Thirty thousand people commit suicide each year. Ten thousand are 
paralyzed each year. All of this just in the united states. 

Try to do what you can with what you have left. Comparing yourself to others 
will bring you misery. If you do one thing each day to improve yourself, it 
will amount to something b4 you know it.

One more thing to add is activity during the day to wear you out helps you 
sleep. Obviously your level of function depends on how much you can wear 
yourself out. When I wheel my chair at least a mile or attach my handcycle and 
do a few miles Im in a better mood, less pain and sleep better. Each person can 
probally figure some activity to tire themselves out, maybe a handcycle on a 
table like at rehab or have some 20 min routine you do with moving your arms or 
a light freeweight attached to a cuff. 

There is a guy on youtube that sets up basic simple workout routines for people 
in chairs that require very little. I set  goal for myself of 30 miles each 
month on my attachable rio dragonfly handcycle. I document the miles and write 
it all down. It helps my mind and the pain from my syrinx and hernia.

Good luck

I have been having a similar problem, but not as often. I usually have it a 
couple of times a night. I have found putting my TV on a timer and listening to 
a historical-based documentary has helped me get to sleep without having these 
terrible dreams. If they keep up, I might consider asking for medication.

For weeks now I've been waking up every few hours, with panic dreams. My heart 
is racing, pounding. My breathing is heavy, and I feel like I need to get up. 
I haven't changed meds or anything. If it was just waking up in the morning 
like that I could handle it, but it's like 5 times a night. Often I think I 
can't breath. Other times I'm getting chased by a mob, etc. I'm so tired.

Hi Stuntman,

Actually,color is muchassociated withenergy.Color can have a profound impact onemotional ups and downs. Work at feeling the color through touch, it's the easiest way to start using the energycolor of dreamsin different ways.Colorcan be very powerful as part of the spectrum of energies that affect us, both awake or asleep.

I rarely am disabled in my dreams, but am often sitting in a wheelchair and 
stand up (which would be difficult as I'm a double amputee) to do things. 
In most dreams I'm still 6' 2", 210 lbs., like I was in 1968 when I was injured.

Well, that's the downside of it b/c I'll dream of my exwife and I wake up mad sometimes or upset b/c I'll miss something about her. Most of the time I wake up mad at her b/c she'll be cheating on me. Most of the time its pretty fun dreaming about people in my past or present. So, it can be bad and good. Try something for me when you go to bed tonight repeat to yourself "I will remember my dream tonight" over and over. I read that somewhere and it's supposed to work. You guys probably think I'm a weirdo but Ive been called worse. Hope this helps.

In just about every dream I 
have I am walking. I am hardly ever in a wheelchair. However, 
sometimes while I am sleep I dream that all of my body parts especially my legs 
begin to slowly work. I can see myself in the bed in the dark as my legs 
slowly rise. I am able to move them up-and-down. Then I began 
looking for someone to show the miracle to. And in my haste I awaken only 
to find out that I am still paralyzed in the same condition I was in when I went 
to sleep. Talking about a letdown. Any dream that I have where I am 
in a wheelchair, it is only to show someone that I can get up and 
walk.
