Hey guys, anyone experience extreme teeth grinding in their sleep? If I'm having a very vivid dream that I believe isn't a dream at the time as I am a lucid dreamer, I notice in my dream my jaw will start clenching very tight that I can't open them and that's when I become aware of being in a dream and try to stop but to no avail, curious if anyone had this issue with anxiety as I am a very anxious person, can't even escape in the sleep world
I think I might go get a mouth guard

Note: sometimes I wake myself up out of sleep because I hear a horrible grinding sound in my head haha, a lot of times I don't realize it but it must be bad to hear it

Yea I've only noticed this today. Not so much grinding teeth but clenching my jaw is def a problem it's so weird that it's happening when I've never had that problem before

I do this a lot. I'll have dreams that all my teeth are breaking out and then I wake up and realize I've been grinding my teeth in my sleep. Its a really strange feeling.

Hello Ian! Bruxism is awful, isnt it? I usually wake up in the mornings with pain over and behind my right eye as well, along with pain in the right side of my jaw. Some mornings it feels almost exactly like a migraine. I've always had this problem, but I noticed mine got a lot worse after starting citalopram. I've been thinking about going and buying a night guard from the store, but I've heard a lot of mixed reviews about them.

Not sure if it's every night or only sometimes, I don't wake up with any problems and very rarely have teeth pain or jaw pain, I notice if I down some Gatorade before bed or anything but water that will leave a sour taste in my mouth it will happen for sure, again not sure if I only notice it then but I don't drink anything but after anymore especially before bed
