hi the info below is from <link> schizophrenia is a serious brain illness. many people with schizophrenia are disabled by their symptoms. people with schizophrenia may hear voices other people don't hear. they may think other people are trying to hurt them. sometimes they don't make any sense when they talk. the disorder makes it hard for them to keep a job or take care of themselves. what are the symptoms of schizophrenia? schizophrenia symptoms range from mild to severe. there are three main types of symptoms. 1. positive symptoms refer to a distortion of a person's normal thinking and functioning. they are "psychotic" behaviors. people with these symptoms are sometimes unable to tell what's real from what is imagined. positive symptoms include: hallucinations : when a person sees hears smells or feels things that no one else can. "hearing voices" is common for people with schizophrenia. people who hear voices may hear them for a long time before family or friends notice a problem. delusions : when a person believes things that are not true. for example a person may believe that people on the radio and television are talking directly to him or her. sometimes people believe that they are in danger-that other people are trying to hurt them. thought disorders : ways of thinking that are not usual or helpful. people with thought disorders may have trouble organizing their thoughts. sometimes a person will stop talking in the middle of a thought. and some people make up words that have no meaning. movement disorders : may appear as agitated body movements. a person with a movement disorder may repeat certain motions over and over. in the other extreme a person may stop moving or talking for a while a rare condition called "catatonia. " 2. negative symptoms refer to difficulty showing emotions or functioning normally. when a person with schizophrenia has negative symptoms it may look like depression. people with negative symptoms may: talk in a dull voice show no facial expression like a smile or frown have trouble having fun have trouble planning and sticking with an activity like grocery shopping talk very little to other people even when they need to. 3. cognitive symptoms are not easy to see but they can make it hard for people to have a job or take care of themselves. cognitive symptoms include: trouble using information to make decisions problems using information immediately after learning it trouble paying attention. but your symptoms could be you just dreaming which is just seconds before you wake up that’s why there so clear to remember. but plenty to read and take in but please don’t dream about them or you will end up that way unless this is whatb you want. but if you think you going that way then seek help now. good luck
does having a dream featuring hearing voices vividly qualify as a symptom of schizofrenia? . i experienced hearing voices once before but under the influence of drugs so it might have just been a bad trip. . however i just had a similar experience while in my sleep so i was wondering whether hearing voices qualifies as a prediction of an onset in schizophrenia or whether it is not comparable with hearing voices when awake. . thank you.
