Weird dreams with Narcolepsy. Does anyone else experience this?

I’m diagnosed with both Narcolepsy Type 2 and Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (amongst other disorders that don’t really matter with this discussion but whatever). I experience very vivid and disturbing dreams, and I found out recently this could be a symptom of narcolepsy. I was wondering if anyone else could relate to this or have any advice/stories to share.

I either don’t remember my dreams at all when waking up, or they’re so vivid I wake up believing they’re real and actually happened. Sometimes these dreams are related to traumas, so waking up can we very scary and triggering, or they’re just disturbing in general. Bit of a trigger warning, I won’t go into much detail but I kind of want to lay out exactly what I’m talking about. If any of you are familiar with the movie Tusk, I had a dream about a similar situation. I was tied above like a canyon of some sorts (i don’t even know man) and my friends skin was sewed onto me to transform my body into a dog???? Yeah crazy, but I woke up with the genuine belief that my friend was dead and I was now in a dog suit of sorts. I’ve also had dreams of reliving my traumas in multiple different ways, settings, and different events, and wake up believing that was a true event. Sometimes it’ll take me up to an hour before I truly realize that was just a dream. Most of the time I figure it out due to lack of physical evidence, but there was a dream that took me 6 years to discover never happened. Is this just a me thing? Any advice on how to calm down out of a panic attack when i’m half asleep and believe i’m in some crazy situation?

Sorry for so many words, i’ve just not had anyone to talk about this with like ever. One of the issues I experienced as a child was ongoing SA. I have a lot of dreams surrounding this. It’s affected me a lot in my recovery process, as well as with getting in relationships and stuff. It’s making some of my symptoms worse. I’m honestly hoping someone here gets it and has advice but, from what little research is done about Narcolepsy, I’m assuming all I can get is people who understand. That’s really all I need, i’ve kinda accepted that funky dreams are apart of me. And they’re a fun story to tell when not like horrific and sad.
