I set all of these goals and expectations and never fulfill any of them. I can acknowledge that they're high standards but that doesn't lesson my reactions.

in my dream its my wedding day, the whole room is kind of out of focus and blurry but i can clearly see my dress and i am standing on the dance floor. Shapes and shadows of people are walking around but i cannot focus in on their faces. I am standing there and all of a sudden i feel a gentle hand on my shoulder. (this may sound weird but i really felt it in the dream), i turn around and its my grandad. i didnt even gasp or cr

once upon a time when i was considerably younger i experienced what i believe was an auditory hallucination. nothing horrible, but when trying to get to sleep i would suddenly hear brilliant chords of music - as if a full orchestra were suddenly in the room. i went to check and the rest of the family were all still asleep so it had to have been in my head. over the next few years it happened from time to time, i could even (seemingly) try to forc

- I am climbing an old-fashined ebony piece of furniture and holding in one hand a white pillow with the shape of a newborn baby. Beneath there is a crocodile jumping trying to catch me. Suddenly, he catches me by the edge of my white T-shirt and I fall. On the floor, I realize that the crocodile wants to attack the pillow and when I extend my arm to put the pi

well this doesn't happen that often maybe 3 or 4 times a month
but sometimes i wake up in the middle of the night and it's like my body is awake but my mind is still alseep if that makes any sense to you..
because im seeing and hearing things that i know are made up in my mind and i can't control them and it's kind of scary. it usually happens for a while and i can't fall back alseep so well afterwards. other times (this only happens every once in a while) but sometimes in the morning i can't move my body or i can't open my eyes.

i just hear stuff and see stuff that isn't there and i know its not real but i cant stop it. while it was happening last night i remember saying "that doesn't make any sense" out loud, as a reaction to the uncontrollable thoughts and feelings.
