Every time I tried to make a Photoshop image of it for ksomething, someone would twist the tube and the image/my vision would change (just like a real kaleidoscope). I was so frustrated, but the images were beautiful. I don't remember any more of the dream than that. Last Edited By: ChelleWMCN 05/19/08 3:59 PM. Edited 1 time.

Regular Visitor Posts: 1008 05/21/08 3:57 PM	my visual symptoms have become a part of me now, i completely accept them and they usually dont worry me any more.....they are stable, no worse, no better. Its funny (odd) that I do dream of my visual symptoms, I see them a lot in my sleep, I wonder why this is? I have had visual symptoms for so long now, I dont really think about them any more but they still appear in my dreams.....as they do in reality.....I recall someone made a post about this not so long ago, the theory was that the part of the brain responsible for visual processing was clearly active during dream states.....but if not all of us dream of vs then this can not be true?????

I have included a link to a kaleidoscope...as you can see, the images are beautiful...but there must have been more than a dozen different images in my dream...all in shades of gray and black.

Did you intend in the dream to make a photoshop illustration of it for me? What was after awakening, did you still see the kaleidoscopes after awakening? or a (transitory) change of the usual persistent aura symptoms?

It was terribly realistic, though. Did you intend in the dream to make a photoshop illustration of it for me? - Yes, that is what was so strange. In my dream, everytime I tried to make a Photoshop of the image for you, that is when someone twisted the tube to make the image change. So then I would try to make that new image for you and the same thing would happen again. I was trying so hard to Photoshop the image for you in my dream, yet in reality, I cannot duplicate the pictures. I have no idea who was changing the images. What was after awakening, did you still see the kaleidoscopes after awakening? or a (transitory) change of the usual persistent aura symptoms? - After I woke up, my vision was super distorted, but then it ususally is worse upon awakening. No, I didn't not see the kaleidoscope images after I woke up.

Your question "I have no idea who was changing the images" reminds of a proposal of the Astronomer Herschel, in the 19th century, who spoke of a kaleidoscopic power of the human mind

I was looking at something in the dark (not complete darkness) and couldn't see it well enough and had to move it into the light so i could see it, all because of the VS of course. Not sure what the dream was about, in the bigger scheme of things, but i have a feeling it was just a bunch of random stuff that just happened to feature something i find fustrating about VS.

Registered User Posts: 5010 06/01/08 7:36 AM	Jonny4Life, did you awake after the dream in the night, or did you remember it the morning but didn't awoke immediately after the dream? When you awake after the dream, did you note a transitory change of your persistent symptoms after the awakening? If yes, how long did it last?

Regular Visitor Posts: 413 06/02/08 3:11 PM	I recently had VS in a lucid dream/'nightmare'. The dream became lucid when I realized I did not have VS, (a-ha I'm dreaming) but then very bad VS appeared in my perhipheral vision and started to move inwards, I struggled with the VS, trying to force it back out, (this was the nightmare part) but I eventually failed and the dream ended with me waking up. I don't recall the VS being any worse than it would be waking in the middle of the night which is always bad anyways. It certainly wasn't anytyhing like it was in the dream, which was opaque and opressive. The dream seemed to be a psychological manifestation of my struggle with VS rather than a physical phenominon, I don't normally see VS in my dreams. Cheers. Jim

Registered User Posts: 5010 06/02/08 4:57 PM	jruddy I believe there is a better explanation of your dream in physiological terms, which I have tried to formulate below: Jruddy, who doesn't normally see visual snow in his dreams (here), reported a non-lucid dream becoming lucid, then incorporating his persistent aura phenomenon of visual snow, then becoming nightmarish, all three of which dream phenomena can be interpreted as sequelae from the arousal produced by the ongoing activity of migraine with aura, and culminating in awakening from sleep with a subsequent transitory increase of the intensity of persistent aura symptoms lasting .. minutes (here) Can you add the information how long the worsening of intensity of vs after awakening lasted? Is your recollection of the vs appearance in the dream clear enough to illustrate it in a picture? Last Edited By: ksomething 06/02/08 5:33 PM. Edited 5 times.

When waking at night or even after a short nap (or even closing my eyes for a few minutes) the VS is always worse. I can't recall the pre-VS topic of the dream but I can recall the VS aspect - it was quite artificial. I will try and make a series of pics or an animation.
