Thanks for sharing these thoughts, Mat. I've never really considered (with any care) possible connections between dreaming and psychotic experiences, but what you are saying makes a lot of sense and I'm going to ponder it more.
As far as self-care goes, I think (and this is just me) that remaining aware of what is going on is super important. So just being aware of the possible connection between dream-life and waking-life is probably very helpful.
"the possible connection between dream-life and waking-life" that is a good way of putting it. There are so many connections between the two, but I can't really begin to understand it all. Just as aside, I have known people with my disease who have terrible nightmares. I feel so very fortunate that isn't the case for me. It's rare for me to have a seriously disturbing dream.
I’m so very glad you’re well now and continuing to stay well. I’m very proud of that for you and I’m sure you are too.
