Does Anyone Else Have Such Vived Dreams And Talk, Scream Or Holler Out In Your Sleep? Does It Wake You Or Your Wake Your Spouse?
A MyParkinsonsTeam Member asked a question 💭

My husband told me this morning that I screamed out so loud last night that our neighbors could have heard me. I don't remember dreaming about anything. Usually, when I dream, it will wake me up or I wake myself up talking or screaming. Kind of scary but have a neuro appointment on Monday and will discuss it then.

Ugh, I'm really just venting. I had to write an important number down and of course, when I needed it, I could not read it.
