Hi, I just came across this message after searching for information on autism and dreams, and I was led to your thread. I hope you get to read this. I have been experiencing the same phenomenon in the past 1-2 years which you described (being pushed back by an invisible force and not being able to wake myself up). I am also self-diagnosed with Asperger`s. I was wondering if you would ever be interested in taking part in an exciting project about dreams and autism. It is not happening in the near future, but I am looking for potential volunteers currently. Please let me know. Thanks, and looking forward to exchange dream experiences one day!
