Greetings,

I just returned from the Mayo clinic a few days ago and was looking for diagnosis information. I came across this thread and signed up to share what I know. My son has had a sleeping disorder for over ten years. It resembles Epic Dreaming, but the doctor believed it was a variant.

There is one known study on Epic Dreaming, although it is small. It is titled: Polysomnographic and clinical correlates of epic dream complaints: A retrospective study of 28 Taiwanese adults.

It does contain medical treatment.

I don't know the rules yet for this forum, and I am not a doctor or in the medical profession. I also hesitate to identify the medication he prescribed. I can post his name and medication if it is allowable; just let me know.

Also, he intimated he was treating someone for a similar diagnosis.

Hope this helps someone!

You are permitted to post the name of medications or therapies that have helped your son. How is he doing now?

Hi @rockysoftis
You said your son suffers from a sleep disorder which resembles epic dreaming. Please could I ask exactly what it is he goes through with the sleep disorder? Does he struggle to sleep, does he have such vivid dreams that he wakes up exhausted? I really want to know if I'm suffering from similar. Thank you
