It must have something to do with immune suppression. I still have dreams during treatment but cannot remember any of them.

By the way: I love your signature.

I have quite the opposite affect. Especially on CTX I had intensely weird dreams.

I mean really vivid and strange.

The pred seemed to give me more violent dreams as well, like all that angst came pouring out in my sleep.

A vitamin B6 deficiency can interfere with your ability to dream or remember your dreams. Pred depletes B6, so there you go.

If meds like ctx give you more vivid dreams or nightmares, it's probably due to their effect on the liver. All drugs stress the liver, even if they're not famous for doing so.

I'd have to say my dreams got weirder and more vivid after starting CTX as well. Not usually violent, though I guess sometimes. But composed of vivid segments that don't fit together well. Sort of how my dreams were before, but more exaggerated.

When I was severely B12 deficient I had no dreams at all. Since starting B12 they came back but I can't remember them, lol. Since being on Pred they have been pretty busy dreams. Although I can't remember them but I know they have been intense at times.

How funny, I was just telling my husband that I've been having the weirdest, most vivid dreams the past couple weeks, it seems like its been since I started MTX. I didn't notice any difference when I was on CTX, it was the same as before treatment...some I'd remember well, and some not at all.
Last night I had a dream that I was living in the new Twilight movie, it was odd! I guess I'm almost anxious for the next movie to come out this weekend
