I think the hallucinations are possibly the worst part of PD for me. However, also for me, mine were a result of a medication I was taking. I had to change docs to be taken seriously and the new doc immediately stopped the med that caused the awful things I was imagining. I have added that drug to the list of meds I cannot take so I pray I will never have that experience again.
I pray for anyone going through this and also pray the cause is identified and managed quickly.

Please know that sleep issues of many types is common for folks with PD but also know, there are many ways to treat the issue successfully. Please don't be afraid to tell your doctor, PCP or Neuro, about this so they can help you. Lose of sleep and the tension that creates can make other symptoms worse so it is important to address it. I'm sure you will feel much better, in many ways, if you do.

My husband with PD has REM sleep issues where he has intense nightmares and acts them out at times, sometimes just talking in his sleep, other times sleep walking or throwing punches or objects. It's supposed to be fairly common with PD, He's had the sleep issues for 30 years. Used to be only a few times a year but got to be a nightly thing before we finally got help with it.

I have not had any nightmare type dreams, but I have fallen out of bed while running and jumping over a bush in a dream or reaching for something. Those are fantasy dreams because I do not run or jump, but I can still reach!

Hi Phil 👋
OM Freakin' G! I am so happy you woke up when you did as I was truly frightened 🙄
I have had 2 very disturbing dreams awhile back. I pray I never have one again. Thank you for sharing this experience with us. Knowing that we are not alone in this PD journey is very important to me.
I think you deserve a nap.
Bless you my friend.
Smile,
Donna 😁
