What is "exploding head" syndrome?
I wonder if you Google parasomnia/dissociation if any new info will come up?
Your P doc must know what she's talking about or she wouldn't have mentioned that she believed it was dissociation, right?
I'm just not sure and am starting to ramble....sorry
I hope you find out what it is.

Hi Calista+12!
The strange thing is that I can remember perfectly what I did while I was sleepwalking... not seen through a veil or anything like that... a bit ago I remembered that I also use to answer the phone while asleep and then I can't remember doing that nor the conversation I had (so I need to have the phone far away from my bed, lol).
Exploding head syndrome is when you are starting to get asleep and you suddenly hear a huge bang that awakes you, but that sound did not really happen.
I googled what you suggested and found out the Dissociative Experiences Scale, that scores your likelihood to have a dissociative disorder... I took it and scored 42.5 (30 or Above, Higher Association With DID)
although it says that it is not always accurate and that not everyone that scores high actually suffers from DID and the other way around, not all DIDers score high in this test. I just found out this interesting since I had never thought of myself as someone that dissociates ever.
