Weird dreams

Wed, 08/17/2016 - 00:03
I'm wondering if anyone has experienced strange and vivid dreams after starting Keppra? About six months ago, Keppra was added to my Lamictal; and a few months in, the dreaming started and has become bothersome. I have never dreamt this way in my life. I started Lamictal when I was 17 and I'm 32 now; so the only thing that is different is the Keppra. Any thoughts or comments?

Keppra dream5I was sitting on

Keppra dream5I was sitting on a bench outside the western Salisbury fire station when a fireman came out to say a small alien had been left in the passenger seat of their truck. I went inside and told him it was a Renaissance baby, not an alien. The baby looked like a little old perfectly proportioned baby man with pants, a button down shirt, wirey eyes, and a long crooked neck. The baby was in a car seat with a very small violin attached to the side. He asked if I could watch the baby because they had to respond to a call. The firemen left so I took the baby and went back to the bench to wait for my friend Terry who was supposed to be driving me to my physical therapy appointment in Quakertown. Since he was late I started walking with the baby when Sam Padilla, a man who worked with me that summer, recognized me “with my white hair”, and offered to drive me to my appointment. He asked if the baby was my grandchild. When I said no he said the baby was fugly, then went on about how beautiful all Puerto Ricans are. I did not want to argue since he was giving me the ride. Got down to my therapist with the baby and saw it was actually my epileptologist and he was dressed like a clown. He said he was doing a clown show for some little kids after work and was a physical therapist too. Showed me a few magic tricks which were terrible. I said skip the magic and stick to clowning. Then after my therapy he asked about the baby. When I told him I was pretty sure it was a Renaissance baby he asked if he could have him because he was trying to become a cage fighter and could use the baby in the act. That seemed reasonable so I left him with the baby. He said he’d send me a YouTube video of the cage act. Then I went downstairs to wait for Terry to give me a ride home. The fireman called to tell me I left my wallet where he found my phone number and said to bring the baby back. I told him it was too late for that. He gave me the baby’s dad’s phone number and said I should call him but the call would only go through on a flip phone. Luckily I had one. The dad gave me his address so we drove toward his home in East Greenville. As we pulled up I realized that our friends Kevin and Esther lived next door. I saw their daughter Madisyn inside with another Renaissance baby. This baby’s name was Raffey. She said she babysat for both of them and was paid $20 and a new box of LEGOs every day. She fed the babies formula made of oil and vinegar dressing. Then my clown epileptologist cage fighter physical therapist sent me that YouTube video and it was really funny so Madisyn gave me Raffey and a bunch of oil and vinegar formula and reminded me to shake it up before feeding. Madisyn wanted to keep the violin because my wife Andie’s niece Orli was coming soon and Orli was going to teach Madisyn to play violin in exchange for a few boxes of LEGOs. I wanted to take Raffey to the fire station but Terry convinced me to drive to the Epileptolologist’s house with Raffey and the formula since the other baby had to be getting hungry.

Keppra dream3Brad Pitt

Keppra dream3Brad Pitt offered to cut the grass at our new house in west Bethlehem which my wife Andie found as an estate sale. Lifted the tractor off my truck with 1 hand! Guy’s incredible. There were 14 10’ Catalpa tree stumps out back with rolls of stuffed inside the tops. Found 18 rolls in all. Somehow in the dream this was no big deal. Climbed a ladder around dusk and looked in on a hunch. Neighbors said the old couple who lived there paid for everything in cash so when the house was cleaned out the movers tore the place up looking for the dough but found nothing. Heard Adam’s fiancée Jenelle needed some money so we sent her 2 rolls. Previous owner left a Lama named Dolly which was trained to stay on the property with an invisible fence. Had a Christmasy manger out back where the Lama lived. Mom thought Dolly Lama sounded corny so she changed her name to Lovie. Fed her lots of croutons.Boston terrier next door named Copernicus kept biting mom’s feet and the owners did nothing to stop him. Mom wanted me to drop my leftover pain killer Dilaudid into his water bowl, “not to kill him, just to disable him a little”. Kenny, who lives behind us now had moved into this new neighborhood behind us too. He hated our Catalpa thicket with the dinner-plate sized leaves and long beans so I got Jose, my tree guy, to take care of his trees too. It was just before Jose was scheduled to take down the 10’ stumps, and Kenny’s trees, that I found the rolls of cash. Redid front landscape in stone terraced walls with only Hydrangeas that bloomed from March 1 through Christmas. Had identical Puerto Rican triplets working for me. My best friend Herman’s (from back in my 20s) daughter Jane called to tell us about the plants. I said ‘how can they bloom in March’? She showed me pictures with ice all over the flowers so we drove up to New Hampshire to get them. They were dazzling. White, pink and blue stair-stepped in the terraced stone right up to the front door. Andie convinced the city to swap out the 2 street lights out front with spotlights pointed at the Hydrangeas.We spent a couple nights looking out at Copernicus to see if he was calming down with the pain killer added to his water. Instead it had the opposite effect and made him even more agitated. He started biting the other neighbors too. The owners decided to take him to a shelter so mom said “see, it worked”.Jose took my 10’ Catalpa trunks along with a few from Kenny’s yard and stacked them vertically like kindling and we torched up the biggest bonfire you could imagine. Cops came but we’d gotten a permit so they let it burn out. Took a few days. Mom cut up a bunch of broiled salamis for about a dozen neighbors who came over to watch. Since they were so nosy she knew they would come and asked those triplets to butler the bonfire. Cool party.Granny and grandad were hitting the bong pretty hard again. No wait, that was last week’s dream!

I had the opposite. I had no

I had the opposite. I had no dreams at all. Maybe 1 or 2 a month. Just added Lamictal and starting having dreams right away everyday. Im getting of Levetiracetam. Too much depression and suicidal and homicidal thoughts.
