Hi, I am a person with BPD currently dating someone with schizophrenia. I apologize if I am invading this space. I have a question to ask if it’s not too much. 

A few weeks ago he stopped smoking weed and ever since he’s been having this “lucid dreaming” issue. When he goes to sleep and wakes up, the dream continues even when he is awake. Usually not for long but long enough for it to be noticeable. He has woken up and been terrified because his dream is continuing into reality and he has trouble distinguishing what is reality. 

Does anyone know why this is happening? Is there anything that can be done to make it stop? Will it lessen over time?
