dreams

[Guest guest]

I do have to say, since starting school a week and a half ago, she is sleeping

REALLY late. She used to be up around 8:00, now she is sleeping til 9:00 or

later, some days 10:00, today 11:00! I always knew she was lacking sleep, so I

am glad she is getting some extra now. Hopefully it continues. :0)

I am thinking allergies, she wakes up with a cough, then is fine after she

clears her throat. Hopefully that is all it is, thanks.

She is loving preschool! Thanks for asking. She cries or whines when I drop

her off, not all the time, though, but is fine after I leave. WHen she comes

home, she talks nonstop about everything she did. SHe is having so much fun!

She is sleeping so well now, going to bed easily, still wakes during the night

on occasion, sleeping really late in the morning. She has grown already, just

from a week and a half of school! She is happy, feeling good about herself,

and becoming very independant. This was a good choice for her.

She had another OCD dream last night. <sigh> She doesnt seem upset about them,

though, she just tells me about that. I guess that is the same as her needing

reassurance throughout the day.

Hi !

Well, I haven't been dreaming about my surgery, like you, but for the

last four or five days I've had a hard time sleeping just thinking

about the surgery itself! All these things keep running through my

head and I'm a little stressed out about it. My surgery is next

Tuesday, too! How exciting for both of us! I don't have a CI yet, but

will be getting two at the same time on that date. I've been told my

surgery will take between 5 and 6 hours. But honestly, I wouldn't care

if it was 24 hours long as long as I don't have to live in silence one

more day. I've had normal hearing my whole life, up until last

November, when I was diagnosed with AIED, and by the middle of January

I was totally deaf. I've lived in complete silence for the past 7

months and cannot WAIT for this surgery. I've never had to deal with

hearing loss before, and to go from hearing normally one month, to

completely silence the next, has been a nightmare, and I can't tell you

what a lifesaver this list has been for me. I have learned so much. I

had no idea what a CI even was a few months ago, and now I'm getting

two!

I just wanted to wish you the best on your upcoming surgery, . I

will definitely be thinking of you on that day. My surgery is at 8

a.m. in the morning. What time is yours? I'm very excited for you and

can't wait to hear how things went. A week from today! Yayy for us!

Keep me posted, okay?

I haven't even had the evaluation yet, and already I've had maybe 3 fairly

realistic dreams of getting the implant, prepping and surgery and all. Very

weird stuff. Thought I was just going crazy.

Keep in mind that I am the guy whose wife told him that he needed his

head work on, not his ear. Anyway, I wanted to know if anyone has had

this experience. For two weeks now, I have been having dreams every

night about the surgery. The first week was two or three dreams, this

week I have not missed a night. My surgery is next Tuesday. Is this

just me being a nut or did anyone else have this experience?

Thanks,

[Guest guest]

,

What you are experiencing is very normal. Given that, I do want to tell you

that I have had quite a number of surgeries over the years. I have had CI

surgery twice and I must say, they were the easiest ones I had to deal with.

The pain was so minimal that I only took Tylenol before I went to sleep at

night. For some reason, the after effects of anesthesia have always been

something I needed to deal with which included lightheadedness.

If I listen to my body and rest when it tells me to, I do very well after

surgery. I advise everyone to do this. Years ago when I was recovering from a

different type of surgery, a great doctor told me never to let myself get to the

point of being overtired. He said that it takes too much for the body to

recover. It is so much easier for the body to come back to normal if we

remember to just do a little at a time. Every time I have listened to this, I

found it to work.

May you be blessed with wonderful hearing as so many of us here have after our

CI surgery. Good luck goes out to you for your surgery.

Happy Hearing!

I didn't dream about the surgery. I *did* dream about the activation.

I could hear perfectly <g>.

Hey, ,

You're crazy as a loon! LOL Actually, this ONE time you can tell your

wife that what is happening with the dreams is absolutely normal. I've had

several surgeries over the years, including 3 for the CI, and the dream before

phenomina is quite common.

Now - are you hearing in your dreams? Are you seen negotiating the

sale of a diamond for your wife in them? This is not just a sign, but an order!

LOL

All the best of luck for your surgery. It's going to be fine.

Hello, . Just wanted to wish you the very best in your surgery. Not

sleeping prior to surgery is also common. You don't want to wear yourself down

before surgery from lack of rest, though. You might try some tylenol PM or

ask your doc for a script for a low dose of xanax. This can take the " edge off "

and help you sleep. To be going bilateral all at once is so exciting. Hang

in there, the best is yet to come.

I didnt dream about the surgery, before or since, . Maybe you're

feeling a bit apprehensive, which is understandable. Most people get

through the surgery just fine. I would say good luck, but you dont need

good luck, you just need a good surgeon :-)

I cant wait for your activation day, . I think you will be

truly amazed. Good luck with the surgery on Tuesday. I'll be thinking

of yourself and on that day. I hope you both post here

afterwards.

I actually was allowed in the OR to watch the surgery being done a few

months before having my own surgery. So I knew what to expect, and how

it was done, and I had NO dreams about it either before or after. Just

wanted it OVER with. But it doesn't surprise me at all that something

that is on your mind all the time now would show up in your dreams.

On the other hand, I dreamed about Matt Damon the other night, and I

don't even like him. So go figure that one out.

One of the first things I noticed after starting iodine was having much deeper sleep and dreaming again for the first time in well over a decade.LinnOn Oct 9, 2010, at 7:31 AM, wally.kathy33 wrote:

Hello all

I was just sitting here reading through all the recent posts when suddenly, out of the blue, I started remembering a dream I had during the night. It was so incredibly vivid (about my daughter's wedding- she'll laugh when I tell her as that is a bit in the future yet) The reason I mention this is that for years I have not been able to remember my dreams. Since this coincides with my increased energy and improved sense of well-being I take this as a very good sign. I also woke up feeling good and happy for a change. Phew! A few weeks ago I was very seriously depressed so this is extremely encouraging.

Thanks to all in the group for your helpful input!

Does anyone else have dreams but don’t know how to make them come true?
