A member asked:
Can seizures in sleep cause vivid dreams or is it the seizure medicine?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Medication side effects can result in altered sleep patterns, but vivid dreams may also be a sign of "hypnogogic hallucinations", which can be associated with a sleep disorder of a different etiology. Discuss what is occurring with your neurologist, who knows you best.
