Dreams during the day driving my relative crazy

[wassupman]

I have a relative of mine and she has a really weird thing going on. First of all, she is 19, in good health and good social standing. Great  with friends, she has a boyfriend as well and she does great in school also. The issue started about three years ago. She sometimes feels sick for a moment, because, she says she remembers a bad dream or she is having a deja vu. She told me that she feels sick in the stomach, short of breath and her legs give up. It just lasts for 10-60 seconds but she really suffers. Sometimes it is invoked by a song, sometimes by a smell, or a certain deja vu situation she says. Have you ever heard of enything like this and how can I help her? This seems to be happening more often lately.

Could this be, from silent migraine or partial siezure, ive heard of this happening to people with these problems.

Your young friend has what is called a dissociative reaction.  The best thing you can do for her is help her find a well trained psychoanalyst.  It is something that she can be helped with if she gets right person.
