Oh dear.....

Oh wow Cfred! That sounds totally awful and terrifying!!! Does it only happen when you take medication or does it happen other times? If it is the medication, I would talk to your doctor about trying something else (or maybe look into natural alternative). I would go to a doctor anyway and see if there is anything that can be done to help you...sounds like you could actually harm yourself one of these days

It's not really terrifying per se. Most of the time I don't realize I've done anything, but have a 'feeling' that I might have. When I go through periods of insomnia (like now) my dreams are almost lucid, in that sounds infiltrate them and are incorporated and I respond to them and can control what I'm doing, sort of. I've had full conversations in with people who talk to me when I'm asleep. I speak in context and answer appropriately, but remember the conversation differently when I wake up as in my dream, the conversation is different....more surreal and the context may be different. I'm aware of making decisions in restless sleep, but still feel as if I'm in a dream, so it's all surreal. I really don't know how to describe it any other way. I'm not on any medication typically, so it's not that. It's almost like, when I have insomnia, that I never really am fully asleep...sort of in between asleep and awake...and am an active participant in my dreams and decision making, though I'm not aware that they're dreams all the time. When I wake up fully, it's sometimes hard to discern whether I've just dreamed something or I actually did it, as with the yelling obscenities out my window last night. I'm not sure if I actually did it, but knowing this feeling, I may very well have. Very odd feeling.

Maybe meds should be looked at....this sounds nuts!!!
