Hi @abbyweston and welcome to Connect. You'll notice that I moved your message to this existing discussion about hallucinations after being in the ICU. I did this so you can meet others who have had similar experiences and understand, like @kariulrich @deltakay and @jslate.

Abby, it must be so stressful to have these hallucinations, especially when you think people are trying to impede your care. It sounds like you are able to differentiate between hallucinations that happen before you sleep and dreams that happen while you're sleeping. Are they different? Do the hallucinations happen during the day too or only before going to sleep?
