I'm not sure what you mean by Pain killers. Most generally medications for sickness seem to hamper dream recall but do help you sleep. So while you may be loosing some dream recall you are probably getting the rest you need to get well.

Well, if you take it, most medicine alters your sleep in some way. Maybe for better maybe for worse. But based on previous experience, I tend to feel quite drowny after taking painkillers (I don't even like to take them, I can handle pain), and it completely supresses any chance of recalling my dreams. But they might help in the way of ending headaches, possibly having a good outcome for LDing.

But i don't think its helping me dream any more.

Well, I've personally heard one person say ibuprofen did the trick but this is a rather atypical reaction.

Well i didn't take nothing and still couldn't remember a thing. Im guessing its just me being sick. By the way, i don't think the dust from your garden helps you either
