Sunday, November 11, 2007 at 10:50 PMThank you for the info. We were considering a sleep clinic to figure it out, but lately she says she has been sleeping pretty good, so we will wait and see what happens. But again thank you for your help in this matter.

Wednesday, January 16, 2008 at 11:06 AMI would take her to a Neurologisist who specializes in sleep disorders. Onset of REM (rapid eye movement/dream cycle) that quickly is a symptom of Narcolepsy. My 19 year old daughter suffers from Narcolepsy, and has these vivid dreams.(although not as severe as your daughter) Since she has been diagnosed and treated, she does much better, and her vivid dream episodes have lessoned considerably. Hope this helps
