Sometimes when I am asleep, I will wake up, see my husband and not know who he is. Once he was up on the computer when I woke up. I saw him but had no idea who he was. I knew he was married and that soon he and his wife would be coming to bed. I didnt know what I was going to do, because I didnt know if I were suppose to be there. I didnt know if they knew I was there or would I be in trouble for being there. I didnt know where I was really. How strange is that?

Just the other night my husband was going to work on third shift. He was waking me up to give me a kiss and tell me good night before he left. When he woke me up I panicked. I couldnt see who it was, I didnt know who he was. He said I started screaming and acting really strange. By the time he left I was awake enough to know who he was and I felt bad for responding to him in such a way. I try to explain to him that somtimes I see him and dont know who he is. It only happens at night though.

Do any of you ever experience this and told a Dr about it? What was there response on why it happens. How do you prevent these kinds of episodes from occuring? Thanks for any input!
