Location: Snåsa, Norway | I've had aching finger joints for several days without no obvious reason, until last night. I woke up realizing I was playing guitar in my dream, and the fingers were working real hard both picking and fretting so I felt the strain in the joints. Is this a good or a bad sign? Do I play to much or to little? Any similar experiences? :) |

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | It seemed to increasingly happen to me as well over the past few years, waking up with cramps in my fingers, particularly my left hand. I am told it is not arthritis. I now make a conscious effort to keep my fingers outstretched instead of balled up in a fist when falling asleep. It seems to help. |

Location: Omaha, NE | Don't know about dreaming, but I do know that ibuprofen is my new best friend. I have bad elbows and hands that like to knot up. I find that a single 200mg ibuprofen before I play, and another after makes an amazing difference. I am completely pain free. |
