This might be sort of long, but I've broken it into paragraphs. I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with this sort of thing.
So, I've never been a sleep walker. My dad gets himself off the couch, to the bathroom and into bed in a complete trance, and is impossible for anyone but my mother to wake when lying down asleep. My brother does the same thing. But me, I usually just wake up and reposition often through the night. I don't even snore. I occasionally talk in my sleep (like 3 times in my whole life, so rare), but otherwise, nothing. Well, except....
Once, in university (about 5 yrs ago), I woke up standing beside my roommate (and best friend)'s bed. I had it in my head that I had to tell her something important, but sort of woke up when she asked me what I was doing and couldn't remember what it was I was going to tell her. Creepy, yeah, but I swear I wasn't going Norman Bates on her
Around the same time (within a yearish), I was sleeping at my parents' and dreamt that something was crawling up from the corner of my bed against the wall. I was on my knees halfway down the bed before I woke up enough to come to my senses.
Cut to a week ago. BF is in the living room at 1am and hears me say loudly "Jesus....................Oh my god!" in a really scared voice. He comes in thinking someone's in the apartment ready to kick butt....I'm sort of half asleep and can't explain what I was yelling about. I vaguely remember thinking someone/thing was in the corner of the room. About an hour after, I'm back asleep and walk out to the living room to tell him "There's another one....but it's different than the first." He's like "what??". Me, "Not like the others. Different."
Then I walk back to bed and go to sleep. I have no memory of that part.
Last night, I woke up thinking there were maggots coating my sheet (but oddly not freaking out about it, who knows why) and was actually turning on the light by the time I woke up. I also found that I had stripped the pillow case off my pillow at some point. I don't remember why.
Is that not weird? I seem to have bouts of this sort of thing and it's getting more frequent. It didn't happen at all until about 5 years ago. Otherwise, I'm a very vivid dreamer and can usually remember my dreams (I always said I'd survive Captain Trips no problem
), but I don't remember them even right after the fact in these instances. Does anyone have similar experiences?
