Crazy or vivid dreams can be associated with PD and are sometimes the result of medications associated with the disease. Obviously, that's not your problem as you haven't started them yet. I'm sure that you intend to share this with your neurologist on your next visit as he or she would need to take this into consideration. There are medicines available that may lessen this problem as well.

There's also REM sleep behavior disorder that disrupts REM sleep and causes us to act out those vivid dreams. Without PD, your body is paralyzed during REM sleep, but PD may change that and allow you to move, sometimes with unintended consequences.

There are non-medical things you can do. Try to lessen stress and anxiety, go to bed at the same time each day, watch the timing of caffeine and alcohol, refrain from exercising or eating late in the day, and keep your sleep environment quiet.

You will find that you need to advocate for yourself, so start your research if you haven't already. You may discover some aspects of PD that are quite disconcerting, but don't let that stop you. Just because it can happen doesn't mean it will. Click on the link below. In addition to this site, you'll find ten others that are really helpful. PD affects everyone differently, so there's no one size fits all treatment for any aspect of this illness. You'll find you will engage in a lot of trial and error along the way.

My husband has had these dreams before he was diagnosed with Parkinson's and before meds, he gets very loud and active!

vivid dreams are a consequence of the lack of dopamine in the brain. unfortunately the synthetic dopamine we take doesnt help with the cognitive effects of PD..
melatonin is a wonderful safe drug to help fall asleep , as is chamomel tea. But unfortunately doesnt effect our deeper or so called REM sleep. dreams are more concerning for the partner than for the patient.

You say you are in the early stages of PD, and not any medications, maybe you should be?

Thank you, I just returned from Mayo Clinic I’ve been seeing their Parkinson’s specialist Dr. Savica and he’s been a huge help. I’m now on three different medications that are helping with all of the symptoms. I’m still dreaming quite a bit but not acting out or so intense.

Blessings,

Tim
