I dont know if this counts as a dream or not since I have no idea if Im awake or sleeping. I have been experiencing this strange thing for a few months now. I am asleep when I believe I am dead. I "wake" up and believe I am dead that my bedroom is just a place like Hell or Heaven and that I am actually dead. It takes me a few minutes for me to realize that I am actually not dead. Another thing is I was sleep and dreamed that my child was dead. I "woke" up and felt her chest and believed that she was dead and she wasn't breathing so I started panicking and shook her awake. then I came to and realized she was fine. Last thing is that sometimes I will see images on the wall or people before I go to sleep. I wish I knew if I was fully awake or sleep and how to stop this. I don't like feeling like I am dead or my child is dead. I become extremely frightened. I dont remember any other details. I used to think that zzzquil was causing it so i stopped taking it but the "dreams" have continued. i don't drink alcohol before sleeping. please help.
