20 years ago I had major head trauma in a car accident, I was 23, and I've been dealing with amnesia all this time. Didn't remember much about about my youth, mainly faces, places, some names, but never events. Recently the memories have come flooding back along with dreams so real that I'm not sure I'm awake or dreaming. Seriously bizarre dreams. All the memories are horrible, nothing happy. Recently, I am told by my wife, that I went into such an irrational, screaming, paranoid state of mind, but all I remembered was sitting and brooding on the couch. I sought medical help and was diagnosed with dissociative disorder and given Prozac. The drugs keep me fairly calm but dissociative disorder seems like a mild diagnosis for what is happening to me. i stopped taking the prozac because it seemed to liquify my bowels and started useing a zen tecnique called mindfullness, that has helped a great deal. I still have the freakish dreams though.
