Why are your dreams always depressing?

[detailed description of dreams moved to Discussion page.]

No, these dreams do not seem to be normal. Persistently depressing dreams such as described not only interfere with healthy sleep but suggest an evaluation by a health professional would be wise. There are numerous possibilities that need to be considered, including possible reactions to medications. Several different mood disorders, based on biochemical imbalances, could underlie any persistently disturbing dreams as well as chronic depression. These are physical illnesses, no less deserving of diagnosis and treatment than other chronic conditions such as Diabetes or heart disease. Very effective, inexpensive treatments are available, but a professional evaluation is the first step.
