Question, I have had my LVAD for 3 years and 3 months. Traveled -ALOT- since and before I got my LVAD. However I have noticed something that is a little concerning. I don't dream and have not had a dream since this was placed into me. I was wondering if anyone else is or has been experiencing this. Live is good, bad, ugly, fun and sad, but its living. I do however miss dreaming. Thoughts...

All people dream with or without LVAD. The problem is most people don't remember the dream after about 1 minute of being awake. I cured this problem by putting a pad and pencil by my bed and immediately forced my self to write down what I was dreaming. I have discovered that the drugs I am taking are causing some strange dreams to occur. I have had some involving being separated from my spare batteries and trying to get back to where they are located. Like walking the streets of NY and the spares are back at the hotel. I live in Spring TX and have only been to NY 25 years ago.
