Slept horribly. Huge bad dream… I’ve woken up feeling split. I floated out of body in the dream… sort of depersonalized, and woke up that way. Haven’t felt like I’ve grounded myself yet even with coffee. Trying to calm down and put this into words has been helping ground me a bit… but still feel like I’m floating on dry land.
There was an episode when I was 19 that scared my parents… and it was that episode from 19 that was my dream last night.
I usually don’t remember everything that happens during a break. I sort of get taken over. But last night, the hole in my memory… the part I’ve heard about but could never picture… came in full detail in a dream. With me watching myself from above.
My sis woke me due to me screaming in my sleep. I didn’t have a chance to get pull myself together before I was woken up.
It’s weird to have a hit of depersonalization during a dream and then wake up this way. I feel completely out of touch with myself.
Woke up exhausted and amped up at the same time… This is going to be a weird… floating… disjointed day.
Recently… I’ve had some flat disconnected numb days… then I’ll have a hit of hypersensitive. I’ve been swinging between feeling very little to numb… to feeling everything magnified.
Did mention this to my doc… he want’s me to revisit the CBT and coping tools for anxiety before med tinkering.
Sometimes after an experience of astral projection /out of body experience you can feel this way. I know the first time it happened to me (I was awake) when I re entered my body I shuddered, almost like a little convulsion, and felt somewhat disoriented. Like shifted but not ‘split.’
If you do some study on astral projection you will run across this. So you do need to re ground yourself…sometimes trying to sleep again and letting the brain and body rest helps…
You might just be shocked from your dream.
I’ve had dreams where I just feel totally estranged and disturbed the whole day once I’ve woken up.
Hope it passes man
Have you settled back into yourself since you posted? Keep at the grounding, sounds like you’re having a hard time, I hope things improve soon. Keep talking, keep at grounding, keep fighting. Cbt may be worth it, it used to help me a lot! I’m sorry the dream/memories came up, it’s probably your mind trying to consciously protect you from those memories, even though they’re coming up unconsciously.
What a rough morning. It took ages to do simple task and I just kept forgetting things. I put my keys down, and then forgot where I put them. I did this for almost an hour. Gave up trying to drive anywhere.
Just trying to get my head back together and get over that panic feeling from the bad dream.
This one stuck with me for a while. I’m starting to come back into my body.
It was so odd to feel so disconnected in the dream… and then wake up… still feeling disconnected.
Misplace my keys . My shoes might end up in the bathroom. Put the peanut butter in the fridge
Make a bowl of oatmeal and forget to take it out of the microwave and eat it. Make a coffee and forget to drink it and the list goes on. I guess that’s the mind disconnect
I guess, keep reminding yourself that it was just a dream. A bad dream. Good thing is that you’ve woken up from that now. I think avoid doing heavy stuff today. Take a day off from work if you could and ask your sister if she doesn’t have much today. Then maybe go for a walk or drive to the nearest park with her. Try forgetting the dream. It just popped up from your memory and most probably will never come again in your life time
I can understand that J and I am with you. Don’t worry much about that. I remember that the feeling of a bad dream always remains with me for few hours. Then it reduces with time and by the end of the day it vanishes altogether. I hope you’d feel better soon.
Just remember the fact that it was just a dream. Like your body, your mind was taking rest too and it let your thoughts float around Sadly, this information stored in you popped up and you know when the cat is out the mice will play
