opiate Nightmare!!

Anybody ever have a nightmare after they doze off on an opiate ? I do, wakes me up yelling in my sleep and this never happens to me. Sometimes it will wake me up a few times and just keep developing when i fall back asleep. It only happens when I'm trying to go to bed for the night. I really don't mind it so much, just want to know if anyone else experiences this....

 

Yes of course, this is why Morphine is named after Morphues, the god of dreams.

 

Mr Cat; methinks you're a newbie...

 

little bit :cheers2:

 

You'll learn to cherish the dreams.

 

for me i dont know if its nightmares as much it is just having trouble sleeping. when im not on oxy (which is probably 80% of the time), i always sleep like a baby. fall asleep early, dont wake up to my alarm goes off. if im on small amounts of oxy, i sleep even better than that. when im on alot, i cant sleep. why is this????? my body just goes into overdrive, and i go in and out of a half sleep all night, itching like crazy haha. it actually sucks and i feel like sh*t most of the next day. recently ive tried to do small amounts at night for this reason and it seems to be working.

 

haha I do get those dreams but they are never bad

 

Morphine dreams (nightmares) are the most common opiate to have nightmares on.

 

^^^HAHA Ya, nothing like a good ole nightmare.. Love them, I get them once in awhile when I take a little to much Oxy and Norco's

 

i once had a nightmare that i was drowning in a pool full of jello... but thankful Chuck Norris came along and ate it all and saved my life

 

Fuckin good Ole Chuck. There to save your day or nightmare

 

whenever i try to go to sleep on opiates its not like deep REM dreaming, its like half-asleep dreaming right when i go to bed. i love it honestly there usually not bad

 

haha I do love jello

 

It's because Oxycodone (which is what OxyContin is), is synthesized from Thebaine, one of the 3 main alkaloids used to extract potent pharmaceutical opiates from; the other 2 are Morphine and Codeine.
Oxycodone is a semi synthetic opiate and the Thebaine it is synthesized from causes stimulatory effects, while the other's cause depressant effects. However Thebaine is not isolated and taken on it's own, it must be converted first since it is highly toxic and has no therepeutic value.
In my experience, Morphine dreams are very fuzzy and confusing, often frightening, while Oxycodone dreams are like amplified hypnagogic paralyzed states, sometimes with jolts when waking up or snapping out of it which resemble seizures, and rarely include intense psychedelic visions of neon geometric patterns, kaleidoscope imagery and colourful 'tunnel vision'. I've had a few dreams where trippy things would happen and Id fall into a few rounds of false awakening, but most of my psychedelic visions during hypnagogic dreaming induced by high doses of opiates have been overwhelming i.e. not like I visuals on acid, like visuals on DMT or artwork you see in paintings that are chaotic and nonsensical, far removed from any perception of physical reality. And besides that, they have always been very brief in my case, usually they accompany the seizures upon waking up and leave me confused mixing dream matter with waking events.

 

I had a dream once where I woke up and did everything I do in the morning, like showering, brushing teeth, etc... then I ACTUALLY woke up and had to do it all over again. I was so pissed. But luckily I had more percs so it wasnt ALL bad

 

oh that was you in my dream

 

haha nice

 

The only opiate related nightmares I have is running out.

 

Now that is a true and very very scarry nightmare there.
