I think i posted this before and was told it could be due to lack of sleep. I was averaging only 4 hours of sleep so i figured that was true but... for the last two weeks ago i have been getting 8 or so hours at night and a hour nap during the day, yet it happened again. I am always tired but figure its from the new anxiety meds im on. But this has been happening for long before any meds.

Basically, while laying in bed, while awake and knowing whats going on around me (i can hear and follow conversations while in this state) i have dreams. Im awake but when my eyes close i slip into a dream. Most of the time i know im awake and its a dream. Sometimes when i wake up and try to fall back to sleep it happens again. I hear everything around my body but when my eyes are closed, i go back to the place i was. It can carry on for hours when im desperately trying to actually fall asleep.

Ill get up and even go do things and lay back down and im right back in the half dream. I never feel rested when this happens and my head is so full of pressure it feels like it will explode. The pressure doesnt go away until i decide to get up for good or until i actually fall to sleep.

Anyone know what this could be? Im going to bring it up with t but i dont have another appointment until next thursday. Anyone care to shed some light on what may be happening?
