Do you have vivid dreams?

Mark Stacy, MD posted:
Vivid dreams in Parkinson's Disease are quite common. They may be accompanied by yelling or thrashing about during sleep. If this is occurring, it may represent a condition called REM-sleep Behavior Disorder. It is important to talk about this with your doctor, and for you to realize that when these dreams occur, they are not the same as hallucinations. Treatment of REM-sleep Behavior Disorder is different from treatment for hallucinations.
