thanks.. i'll try that. As it is, it seems like i remember thinking random things.. such as last night i was seeing cards from a card game.. i dont know how they fit into anything.. whether i was dreaming or the game was just on my mind as i had been playing earlier that night. It could be anything thing though.. i don't right now remember what i've been thinking other times, but they're pretty random other than the fact that they were recently occuring in my life in some way.. not necessarily "scary" or anyting.. could be a rabbit i saw in the yard.. either way, what i'm trying to say is i dont know that i'm dreaming necessarily. I suppose i could be. If i do end up waking fully, i don't really know what is causing me to feel panicky. I just know that i am and that it doesnt make any sense. I will try writing my thoughts/dreams down when this happens, but I'm not sure they're will be anything to write. Thanks again for your help/concern. And sorry that this post is a rambling one.
