> Well,

> Holy S$#@! 2 Nightmares-and I do NOT usually get them at all:
> 1) My mom died-I was double-checking to see if she died and I was devastated.
> 2) Re-occurring nightmare that Iraqi's were protesting to take people (while I was driving) And ask them to fight in the war. In the first dream I said yes-no troubles-they eventually did not pick me and let me go-In the dream my brother told me that if I didn't go-they would kill me. So, This SECOND dream of the SAME scenario-LAST NIGHT-I was stopped, and asked the same thing, I said NO. I went on and stopped at a gas station nearby, and an Iraqi had come in-was speaking foreign tongue, and aimed a gun at me-a BIG gun-and BAM! I woke up.

> I was thinking that because I suffer a mental illness, that I am extremely sensitive to what is going on around us-concerning the war,etc. I hate to think that but has ANYONE had any feelings the same? Could it be the Lamictal?

Kristen,I just started Lamictal about 2 weeks ago and since have had such vivid and also scary dreams, one dream I in the middle of World War III with nuculear bombs flying overtop of me and trying to survive, I felt exhausted when I woke up the next day, curious did the cal/mg work for you?
Thanks,
Gary
