Because I have various other mental illnesses, I tend to read more into things than usual so I never really know whether to take things seriously or not.. but I keep waking up and seeing/hearing things and then going back into a light sleep and dreaming about other things happening to do with what I've actually just seen whilst awake. So that when I wake up again from the dream, I don't know whether it was a dream or real, and it's so confusing..

Example is this morning- my cat woke me up early and I kind of just looked at her a bit and watched her walk across my room. I went back to sleep and had a dream where my cat climbed onto my desk and then on my bed and started fussing with me and then she bit me. I then got woken up at normal time and I asked where my cat was, then asked if they'd seen my bite... but it wasn't real. I feel confused about whether it is real or not and feel like I'm only half sleeping/dreaming and half in reality. My head is usually very fuzzy when I wake up.

Another example is yesterday where I was woken up by the post lady and then I went almost straight back to sleep. I dreamed that the post lady had put through a green letter saying something about my brother's music lessons, that he had to swap his current instrument for a trumpet or something like that. I woke up again at normal time and started asking why my brother had to swap his instrument and then I got all confused and asked whether he post had actually come and if my brother had seen it, etc.

It's like I don't know what's real or not. Maybe everyone has this I don't know, but the mental illness I have, Bipolar Disorder II, could progress to Bipolar Disorder I which includes hallucinations and things. With all my mental health problems.. maybe it's nothing... I don't know.. Anyone?
