Hi everyone,

I have been having these vivid dreams lately and started to wonder why. I thought about what I was taking as far as supplements and Turmeric came to mind. I ran out of it a little while ago but recently bought more and started taking it to detox.

As I did my research I saw that Turmeric as well as Lyme can cause vivid dreams and even nightmares.

I’m wondering if this may actually be a “good sign” that I am detoxing Lyme and other pathogens.

Anyone else have ideas or information on this?

Hopefully,

I strongly believe that is caused by Babesia, I have the exact same issue.
I only recently found out that I have Babesia, myself.

It can be a lot of things. Most likely you had some disrupted sleep, and are now having rebound or catch-up REM sleep.

Some medications can cause it too. I particularly noticed vivid dreams with naltrexone or valproate. Nightmares were more common when I was experiencing signs of adrenal stress.

I have had vivid dreams my whole life, in good and poor health.

I had particularly vivid dreams (nightmares) while taking chloroquine as a malaria preventive when traveling in Central America. (This was before I had any tick-borne infections.)

Melatonin also gives me nightmares, about 2/3 of the time.

I have not noticed any association with curcumin or turmeric, personally.

I get nightmares from melatonin, and also from B vitamins. I can take a methylated B complex supplement at breakfast, but if I take it at lunch I will have nightmares that night. I still have pretty vivid dreams every night and I do take 1-2g of turmeric daily based on pain levels -- would be interesting to play around with it and see if that is contributing to my wild dreams!

you finally got your test results back then Rainy?

commiserations to you for finding another pathogen - but at least you can now go after it with confidence rather than not knowing - and wondering if you should - i am in a similar boat myself

was this Igenix Babesia FISH test ( i see they have a whole list of babesia tests now )

I have vivid dreams off and on. I think it's worse in certain herxes or flares. I think I have Lyme and Bart.

Yeah, I’m beginning to think that the vivid dreams could be from a few things such as the Turmeric and Lyme herx. I also know that when I eat broccoli I seem to dream a lot…however, these dreams seemed different & more vivid like I was saying.

Thanks for all of your replies,
