Here is something that is new to me; I had a dream this morning, where for the most part I was in a significantly altered mental state, like some sort of severe emotional or mental disorder. Usually I am pretty much myself in a dreams, even if the situation is weird, but here everything was different.

Long story short, there is a whole lead in to this situation in my dream which is unimportant, but basically I am in a store picking out some things to buy, and I know I am taking a long time and my family is waiting for me, so I feel anxious about that. Finally I go to a sort of hotel lobby to buy my things, and they are waiting there. For some reason or other, I say something and everyone there in the room except my sister begins ROARING with laughter and pointing fingers and ridiculing me. This causes me to have some sort of psychotic break...I might be misusing the phrase, but it was so intense, that's what it felt like. I sank to the floor crying, and spent the majority of the dream in a sort of psychotic catatonic state. I could vaguely tell my sister was trying to take care of me, but I couldn't respond to anything she said and could only stare straight ahead. She moves me somewhere, but I feel completely mentally...strange. It's hard to describe.

(Then later, in retrospect it gets really cool, because my sister pulls me down into a shared dream with her in order to help me. I become lucid in this dream, but think I am lucid HERE and that my catatonia is real, so it's only vaguely lucid I suppose.)

This almost never happens to me in dreams---this extremely altered mental state. Usually, dreams are weird, but I am who I am, so to speak. The only other time I can remember this happening was one time when I dreamed that I was overdosing on heroin. Does anyone experience these dreams? Perhaps your mind feels like it's on drugs, or, even more, if you feel like you actually have severe mental problems?
