Bizarre dreams lately

I know I read another thread somewhere recently where somebody was having strange dreams, but I think they were happening after surgery.

Last night I had a weird series of dreams -- almost like bizarre flashes with no coherence whatsoever. But one part I remember is being on a gurney waiting for my surgery, they IV me with the knockout stuff, and I start to fade into sleep, but not all the way. I try to tell them I'm still partially awake but can't.

Mind you, surgery doesn't scare me. I'm not stressing about that in the least. But I found it bizarre that these "flash dreams" would go on last night so close to my surgery.

The other night I dreamed I was eating something, but I can understand that. Haven't chewed so much as an ice cube since last Thursday... :)

So... is this weird dream thing normal-ish for others?

I love the way you put things, Jack. :)

Oh, and of course now I remember more: The doctor was cutting a long horizontal line across my abdomen while I was aware... and I'm trying to cry out, NO, it's supposed to be five SMALL cuts, not one big one! Omg... lol

I had strange dreams right before and after my surgery. I wasn't sure what was causing it. Lack of oxygen to my brain? lol I don't know. They have since stopped. Or at least, I don't remember them.

I've been losing a lot of hair lately and it's deeply troubling me. I dreamed about it last night. I dreamed I had a very large bald spot on my head. In my dream I thought to myself, oh no!! I forgot to take my biotin! LOL

How well do you do on your protein intake? I have read in many places where low protein (along with the banding) can cause hair loss.
