Weird dream

Last night I had a strange dream. It wasn't a nightmare or anything but it did trigger an asthma attack, although minor. From what I recall, I was out with friends and someone told a corny joke. Unfortunately I loooove corny jokes. In my dream I began to laugh hard. The laughing caused me to cough, the coughing got worse and ...and ...and then I woke up. To my surprise, the coughing and the SOB accompanied me into consciousness. I had to use my neb and sit and calm down for awhile. The symptoms abated and I was able to go back to sleep.  Now I've run into a lot of things that have triggered an attack... but a dream? That's a first for me. And what's worse is that I can't even remember the joke.   Tomorrow I go in for the lumbar puncture. Other than that, I'm just kicking back. More tomorrow. Be well,Tom

Good luck tomorrow!

I wonder if it was an asthma attack that triggered the dream? Dreams generally reflect what happens to us, so maybe you were having some SOB and your mind came up with a scenario for you. I think your brain needs a vacation :)
