pvc's in my dreams?

OK strange question for those of you with pvc's. Do you ever get PVC in the middle of your dreams?   Last night I had a rare bought of PVC, but it felt like I was not awake. I could see myself very weakly reaching for a pulse and feeling one with pvs sensations. I then felt like I woke from a bad dream, having that "you are back in reality and safe" feeling. I know its weird but that's exactly what I felt

That's not the only time that this has happened. Yesterday, again, I was dreaming that I was at a casino playing video poker, I had bet a lot of money, and when my hand of 4 aces came up and I had realized it, bang, PVC.

One other time I was dreaming that I was driving, and then I had ran someone over, bang PVC then I woke up.

So strange... anyone else have experience like this before?

Considering your dreams were of a high anxiety stressful nature it wouldn't seem odd to have pvcs in real life as it is likely your heart is reacting from the emotions you are feeling in the dream but the dream could also be trying to stress to you that getting stressed and anxious is a sure fire way to get the pvcs going so maybe your subconscious wants you to try and deal with those types of situations and conquer the stress and anxiety.  Take care.

I have pvcs when I wake, when I'm done dreaming. Like palpation after a bad dream. I have to calm myself

Yes, I have had a similar experience.  I am never sure if the PVCs that I have in my dreams are actually happening in real life.  When I wake up they aren't happening.

I do not suffer from PVC, but I am interesting in dreaming, what causes them, and how to "control" them - see lucent dreaming.

There is a large body of dream study work that tell us we dream about issues that trouble our wake state, pvc could be an example.

I have trouble dreams that center on being lost  somewhere I don't speak the language (I used to do a lot of international travel), and of threatening height challenges.  I do have a somewhat controlled phobia about height/falling.  So my experience matches the dream study work I've read about.  I did this reading after being concerned about my dreaming.

How do you cope with travelling and pvcs? I'd be scared, that if I had a bout and couldn't stop them, what do u do? Are u on a medication?

As I provided years back pcv are nothing more than Afib in my case.  So, I respond only to medhelp notice of your post.  On dreaming unhappy subjects, that goes on with me and not related to pvc.  I seem to get enough sleep in any case and soon forget the subject matter in the dream.
