Re: Bad Sleep (Just a Vent)

quizzical – I can relate somehow – I had double jaw surgery about 9 years ago, and one of the dreams I had several years afterwards was that my mouth was falling apart – I was at my orthodontist’s office and he couldn’t even look at me, I was such a mess.

I used to have a lot of hypnagogic episodes (sometimes on going to sleep, sometimes on waking up) where I couldn’t move or speak – eventually I would get a muffled noise out and my husband would come wake me up. They were very frightening because it was as if I was completely awake in the dream, in my own bed at home. There would always be some kind of intruder. One time I got very pissed off and actually threw a pillow at the intruder (they were almost always at the foot of my bed). When I finally fully awakened, the pillow had been thrown across the room, not a very good shot, but it was evidence that I’d really done it.
