does anyone else dream they're having seizures?

i dreamed last night that i was watching a movie with my dream guy and i started seizing, i could not control my body, but i was shaking uncontrolably and i could hear him talking and feel him rubbing my side.

Yeah I've dreamed that I'm having a seizure, although not lately. They're mostly anxiety dreams. In my dream I "wake up" and realize that I'm having a seizure or just had one.

I have dreamed more about auras (which are a type of seizure), but not actual tonic-clonics. I guess I would say it is more about the stress or fear of going into a seizure that I dream about. Not often.

I did have a complex partial seizure while on an orientation and mobility route- specialized instruction for the blind. Anyway- my instructor actually told me I was acting funny before hand. I had a seizure a little while after.
But ever since then the parts I remember, such as her getting me into the car, driving home, feeling sick and tired- I actually dream about it.
I've also had a dream that it turned into a grandmal seizure- which would really suck if it happened in real life.

I did have nightmares about my complex partial seizures turning into GMs after my neurologist told me they could. Its never actually happened and I am thankful for it.

Hi All,

Yes, I have - a few times. Very awful dreams they are. Hate them!!! The only good thing about them is they are only dreams and not the real thing - the seizure!!!

Luckily I haven't had such dreams for quite a while. Have forgetten when my last such dream was. Hoping I never have any like that again!!! However, I still have seizures - fair good control - the last one was in early December.

Yeah I have had a few where I dream that I am seizing, and then lots where other people around me are having Tonic Clonics.

We talked about this before in this thread so you might be able to have a bit more insight here
