The daymares have been described to me as intrusive thoughts by a friend who is a psych major in school. She said that they sound as if they are attributed to a minor form of OCD because they are instantaneous and they only occur when I am wide awake, and are accompanied by an uncontrollable urge to keep my eyes shut until the images are gone. She told me to talk to a psychiatrist about it, that there are ways of treating it.
