What are your dreams like? Do you remember them? What's your awareness level? Do you experience things like sleep paralysis or other weird things during your sleep?
My dreams can be pretty chaotic but feel so real. Sometimes I'm aware I'm dreaming. When I was younger I was able to somewhat control what was going on in the dream or steer it where I want it to go. I would also experience dreams within dreams with dreams. I can only remember the more vivid ones which don't happen as often. But more often then nought I wake up feeling exhausted when I dream, like I've been up all night. My mind doesn't get rest.
One of the strangest things is that the dream starts out with certain random people I know but then they change or mutate into other random people I know but my mind registers them as the original person the dream started out with. (Ex: the dream starts out with Steve but then he changes to Larry but he still answers to Steve).
With regards to sleep paralysis, this morning I was mostly awake, partly trying to go back to sleep. When I started to cross the line between awake and sleep I was startled by what sounded like a little kid growling behind me in my ear. At first I thought it was my son but I knew he wasn't there. I tried to turn over but I couldnt, like an electric current had me frozen in place. I could feel my muscle straining though.
It doesn't happen often, and not always like this. In the past I'd be in the same state and could feel the bed depress at the foot of the bed or behind me like someone sat down. And again, would panic and can move like someone was holding me down.
I've also started hearing voices lately not only while I'm trying to fall asleep, but while I'm fully awake too. Only recently though. Usually I can logic my way out of most experiences but this one I can't just yet, Wondering what it means.
