Vivid Dreams, Nightmares, Night Terrors and Bipolar Disorder

 Dream....I took one IQ test years  before I was Dx'd and it was 130...and when I took the second one it was after my Dx and I was all dopey, and got 132.
  Don't know if it makes a difference or not, being medicated.
  Like I said, I always fly in my dreams, they are always in colour. and I can be flying and watching what's going on below me....including myself doing stuff! There have been a few times in my dreams when I have flown down to try and stop something, only to wake up with a scream in the back of my throat because I was yelling in my dream at the person to stop...they were trying to steal something from an old lady. 
 And that is just an ordinary example of a dream....most are not so "normal"

I do horrible violent stuff in my dreams sometimes like mash people's heads until their brains come out and stuff.

I wonder what you would get now on the test?

 Don't know & don't really care. Just a number, like an ICD9 code!

Yeah its just people trying to measure part of something they define as intelligence.

I found this kind of interesting speaking of dreams

i assume my nightmares are from my PTSD and as for my other dreams i dont know if they are vivid, they seem normal.

I think my soul leaves my body in astral projections during sleep, all this stuff makes good sense to me.  Sometimes I see people I haven't seen in a while during these.  Many of these dreams do have cosmic symbols, faeries, souls of people I know in their soul form yet I know its them.  Sometimes I feel like I am falling and suddenly wake up with a jolt...I was reading somewhere about how when you soul leaves your body it doesn't necessarily leave earth but can float above or away from your body.  Then for some reason you body awakens and it suddenly gets sucked back down and you feel like you were falling or moving really fast, that's why you jump.

Last night I dreamed that I was running from everything I hate about my life.  I was on a scooter going down a downhill street.  The scooter kept trying to wreck because the wheels were so small.  It was frustrating.
