Hi, u will have pain at this point,
and I too had an increase in
dreams post op, none that I recall that early in my recovery.
Meds r necessary...and u do need to take them on schedule to keep on top of the pain other wise they do not seem to work.
The best u can do right now is rest, walk when u can, and exercise ur neck....
This does take time, we all need patience to recover from this, but it is worth it.
