[QUOTE="JMK1954, post: 2217870, member: 352098"] Yes, don't worry. It's not just you. Even the doctors know about this, though I somehow doubt that most GPs have ever been told about it. I don't dream about being pursued by somebody who is out to get me, but about situations which are anxiety-provoking in another way, for instance being accused of making a serious error of some sort at work. Vivid dreams are known to be triggered by hypos during the night. The worst thing is that, in my case, it takes a minute or two for me and my brain to get back into gear when I reach for the glucose. I know I'm hypo because I'm sweating, but it can take a bit longer for the conviction that I am facing a worrying situation to wear off. It's certainly a big relief when it dawns on me that the accusations were part of a hypo dream. Edited to add - Get rid of the hypos at night. During the day they are bad enough, but at night they pose a more serious danger. Please take some action. If they happen frequently, insulin or food needs adjustment urgently. Ring your DSN. My sister died as a result of an overnight hypo. [/QUOTE]
