| I seldom seem to remember my dreams. Sometimes I retain fragments. Quite a few of my dreams seem to be like watching a drama on TV. With people I do not recognize and not involving me. And the dramas have some strange elements. The dream fragment I woke up with today is: zebras cry when they are hur... |

| Congratulations! And how you feel about the diagnosis is up to you. You'll find quite a few folk on WP (including me!) who were happy to get the diagnosis because it explained so much.

In general, not a problem.
