hey a few years later and i just recently had a VERY VERY freakishly similar dream the feeling of being watched in my own home horror dizziness the lights turning off i was wondering if anybody has more answers to this
Wow! Very, very interesting. May not be medical at all..I agree with previous writer, I would go to a neurologist to make sure everything's clear on that point then look into other areas
Dear being,
I have experienced the same atleast once a year for the last 5 years (around 6 times in total) and till the recent most one, which happened just now. I was unaware of the reason. The reason is being DEHYDRATED. Past few months I've been staying well hydrated by trying to be aware of any signs my body shows. Like urine color, dryness of mouth, lips and eyes, lack of motivation even when carbohydrate intake is optimal, etc. Now, yes. There can be multiple other reasons for this to have happened to a lot of you, but ruling out optimal hydration and electrolyte levels is not something I would do (also, low caloric intake can cause drop in blood sugar levels leading to dizziness also).
In the dream I had a few minutes ago, I was riding a motorbike and stopped to pee. But couldn't. So I continued to ride and realized I was loosing my balance. I found a bike repair shop and he told me there was something wrong with the oil. I dissed the very suggestion and found another guy and asked him to inspect the bike. I moved on foot to the nearest doctor I could find and he told me it was unusual stress and I told him this wasn't the first time I rode a bike for long. I've ridden for much longer distances. Then I felt dizzy again and became sure of what was happening. I immediately shouted dehydration and asked him for ORS(oral repudiation solution), then felt dizzy again and by then a ring at my doorbell in reality woke me up (I'm grateful to that ring) I ran to the kitchen filled by bottle and added some salt and sugar to it and chugged my way to feeling better.
Other facts include me having eaten a high carb meal before sleeping and not drinking water. Each gram of carbohydrate brings along two grams of water into the body. Plus some foods can absorb a lot of water
if that isn't coming from drinking, it will come.from.the body. Plus when the weather is hot, your requirements shoot through the roof. All these factors and a steady increase in my laziness over past two days lead to this. But I'm glad I finally know why.. After all these years. The most painful dizziness bouts and I had no idea why they happened. Now I know. Looking back, Hot weather and lack of hydration were always factors.
I hope this helps!
Omg I have all the same things you do... dizzy dreams falling all over the place, social anxiety, panic attacks, and sleep paralysis. Probably all linked.
People's bodies are normally paralyzed during sleep. If a person wakes up while this is happenning it can be frightening but its the opposite of sleep walking where your body isn't paralyzed but you are asleep and you walk as you do in the dream. I would speak to a neurologist and have a sleep study and EEG. They could determine what is wrong. I did note you said something about seizures where you passed out followed by vomiting. If you that's something you experienced even once you should see a neurologist right away. That would be of immediate concern. If you have social anxiety disorder in addition that could be part of it but clearly a consult to a neurologist is waranted and if you had seizures followed by vomiting then I would see one as soon as possible and if one is not available see your doctor for a general exam and they will give you a referral.
