philosopherking1887:

Does anyone else experience a connection? I went to bed last night with a bad headache that wasn’t responding to acetominophen and had a lot of incredibly vivid, stressful, frightening dreams – more so than the usual run of vivid, stressful dreams I’ve been having every night for the past 6 years. I woke up a couple of times during the night and still had the headache; I tried taking ibuprofen in addition, but it didn’t go away until I took one of those OTC migraine pills (acetominophen + aspirin + caffeine). I don’t have migraines often, but I have had a few in the past, so I’m assuming that’s what it was.

Does this happen to anyone else – having horrible vivid dreams when you go to bed with a migraine starting? Bonus points if you are also more prone to sleep paralysis when you have a migraine, because that happened to me several times while I was struggling to wake up this morning.
