Brief Answer:
Than low dose BZDs can be considered if there is impact on performance
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for reverting back to me.
Considering the fact there is no stress I feel minor tranquillisers such as clonazepam 0.25 mg can be taken for calming the mind. This should be done if there is effect on your performance due to excessive dreams.
In case there is no effect it is possible that you have better capacity to remember dreams. I mean to say that we all have multiple dreams but we hardly remember one or less on most occasions.
I hope this helps you further.
