Bad dreams after Covid vaccination

[NFLDERS]

Today marks a week since my Phizer vaccination, and pretty much all 6 nights since I've had bad dreams. Anyone else?

I had the AZ vaccine and the next couple nights had very vivid dreams!

The vaccine didn't give me any bad or weird dreams but I do get them a lot when I'm sick. I'm not sure if it is due to cold medicine or a reaction to the illness but if you are having an immune response to the vaccine and have bad or weird dreams when you get sick that might be it.

It's possible you are just sleeping deeper and for a longer period of time, hence dreaming more and remembering them.

I remember my dreams on a regular basis, and the dreams the first few days after the second shot were extremely vivid. My sister had the same issue. We just wondered if it was our brains processing the relief of getting the shot. Our dreams weren’t bad, just odd and very detailed as well as brightly colored.

No-one I know had this but I think fevers can give bad dreams, stress too. Hope it stops soon.

I didn't have this, but some friends did, and I've read that it's not uncommon. Hope it gets better soon!

Actually, I have been the opposite. Throughout the pandemic, I have had lots of bouts of vivid bad dreams which is not the usual for me. Stress, I think, from both the fear of the virus and all the new ways I had to do my job. Once I got my first shot in early March, those dreams dialed way back--because at least one of those worries was lessening.
