Hi, this is the first time I post in here, although I come here from time to time.
The situation I am asking your help for is the following: I've always had sleep issues that just recently found out, with the help of my pdoc, that are part of what are known as parasomnias. Some of them include sleepwalking, sleeptalking, exploding head syndrome, and more others.
Well, I was reading about sleepwalking and always found out that people who do that mostly don't remember they do it, and that they always are acting up a dream they are having.
Since I always remember what I do during those episodes, I asked my pdoc how to fit this into sleepwalking. Then she said that at those times what I do is not sleepwalking, what I am doing is dissociating! 
What happens is basically this: after I get asleep at night, I "wake up" in the middle of the night and start doing things, normal things, like coming here to the computer, check my e-mails, read posts at PC, do entries in my electronic journal, eat something, stuff like that... and all that time I think I am "awake"... later, when I am truly "awake", I return to my journal only to find out that I wrote down words with no sense or just symbols and numbers... that is when I realize that I was "asleep". Now my pdoc tells me that that is dissociation, but I can't find that kind of dissociation anywhere.... does anyone have an idea of what is happening to me?
I would really appreciate your insight of what kind of dissociation is this...
Thanks!
