This is the situation I find myself in. Now, I have always been a dreamer. Some people say they never dream, and for me that can't be further from the truth. When I was younger, I had the wildest dreams about magic and flying and running and hiding and saving the world. However, as I've grown up, my dreams have changed, of course as a normally developing teenager with normally developing hormones, I began to have dreams that perplexed me, I would often wake up confused and disoriented or oddly satisfied. I had labored my mind to pick apart any psychological hints my subconscious was spending me and I can't say how many times I've googled dream meanings. I've always been very in touch with my subconscious, perhaps even too in touch, because now, my dreams have become so realistic and vivid that I cannot separate them from real life.
In my dreams, I can feel every emotion now, every single one, even fear and anguish, and pleasure, and pain... I even feel adrenaline run through my body. I live out a normal, could happen any day situation that's just the slightest bit intensified, and every day I wake up praying to God I wasn't talking in my sleep or moving in my sleep or anything that could give away my inner motives that run free while I'm off in dream world. When I wake up, my heart is racing and I am confused to the extent where I more clearly remember the dream then the day preceding it. It has gotten so bad that I confuse memories of what has truly happened and what I have dreamed in daily life. I will "remember" conversations, actions, and reactions that in reality, never happened.
With each passing day I become more and more wary that perhaps I'm losing my ability to process these things. I'm more frequently questioning myself. I am more or less losing my mind. Sometimes, I will zone out for a few moments, and when I zone back in I feel like no time has passed, and in reality it's been 20 minutes, I question if I'd fallen asleep inside my brain or what. The line is blurring for me, and I'm not sure why or how. All that I know is that I need to stop it. I need to be able to sleep peacefully and wake up peacefully and rejuvinagted and not scared and anxious.
