I suffer from ANXIETY.
The past 2 nights in a row I have had these terrible dreams I would hope to say they are...
Last night was the worst one. I fell asleep on my own with out my sleeping medication around 2am,
I remember "it had to be a dream" but I was in my room laying down, the room looked the exact same way it was when I woke up... I was dreaming I was hearing voices outside my house and sirens and cars going by, and I couldn't wake up... I COULD LITERALLY feel my eyes trying to PRY open! But I couldn't! It's like I was subconsciously awake, but my body was paralyzed and in this strange state!
I finally woke myself up and it was 4:30am... my stomach was in KNOTS! Paranoid feeling, felt like I was going CRAZY!
All I could think was "was this a dream? was I having a seizure? was I really hearing voices in my head, or was this all in the dream?"
Now I will tell you, I do not hear voices in my head or anything like that when I'm awake during the day, so thats what kind of eased my mind, and really convinced me it was a dream.
I finally took 2 sleeping pills and fell back asleep... but I'm kinda worried that its going to happen again tonight!
Is this normal?
