I have multiple sleep disorders, including extremely bad apnea, severe insomniac and now I am nodding off in the middle of the day. He has ruled out narcolepsy, and I don't actually sleep, I just nod off and then come to again. I do this all day, enough to where he has banned me from driving as I drove off of the INTERSTATE on day, thank God I didn't over correct! Scared me half to death myself.
Anyway, so now this new thing is happening. When I actually sleep, I do not remember dreams, never have. But now when i "nod off", I am literally half asleep and half awake (I know what I'm doing, but can't stop), and I start to dream. I've actually been talking to people when thishappens and what I do is incorporate them into this short little dream, so I am talking to them abou the dream, explaining it, and then when I "come to" I ask them if I was talking about 'so and so" and they say yes, and then they tell me that for a minute there, they thought I had gome nuts.
well, one day I was in the waiting room of a doctors office, and trying to read a magazine (which is embarrassing in itself as I "drift off" and keep dropping the magazine. Only NOW, I start "showing" people my dream. I have awakened and people, once again, are staring at me like I'm totally nuts. Evidently, I was immitating stirring a pot, and it was hot so I put it way out in front of me so I wouldn't get burned. All the while, I'm really doing this at thisdoctors office, and then I'm also talking about how this comes to a boil, and be sure jot to touc the pot as it is soooo hot.....! I'm telling you, I don't want to leave my door! Now, what is THIS new problem? It's very embarrassing as people really are looking at me when I "come to" like I am nuts! I don't know how far this is gonna go, but I don't want to find out!
Please help!!!
