Hello there.
I am experiencing nearly the samething, and I am 15 years of age. Before, it was only once in a few months kind of thing, but it began to become more recent, and now I am fighting it multiple times a day. What I have figured out is that I will dream when I sleep, but I dream of the upcoming 'future', approximatly a week or so, and once It happens and I see it again in reality (deja vu), my mind goes back to 'dream mode' such as a blurred vision almost, feeling like im not really there, severe nausea, I lose balance and head straight to the ground, very light headed, but also, there may be people there in my dream, but those people that were.. arent there in reality like when it hits me, but as im 'seizuring', I can hear the voices and things that were said in my dream. This only goes on for about a minute or so, then once it passes, I am very very exhausted. And as I said, I am now fighting it multiple times a day. I have already seen my neurologist, already had my MRI scan, they said it showed no abnormalities or anything, so I am now waiting for my EEG to come along in March.

hi, i am a 32 year old female

hi, i am a 32 year old female and i have just started having these within the last six months or so. Small everyday things (for example folding clothes) will trigger an abstract memory of a dream i have had either the night before or sometime within the last few weeks. It is a feeling of dread and terror, i have a feeling of extreme heat wash over me and tingling sensation on the back of my head. Afterwards i am so scared i cry, and continue to feel odd for hours, sometimes days afterwards. Basically almost everything i do reminds me of some dream i have had, and before it didn't bother me but now i am having trouble with it. It is interfering with my reality and it is starting to take over how i act on a daily basis. Also i do find it odd that i will suddenly see, hear, or experience something i had been dreaming about. It would be so wonderful to talk to people that understand what i am going through. My fiance is very nice about it, but i get the feeling he feels like i may be a little unhinged. I have had epilepsy since i was 7 and i have had many different types of seizures my whole life. But these are the scariest. They are like being trapped in a nightmare and even though they only last less than a minute they are still terrifying. i cant even bring myself to speak when i am having one. if anyone else here has had similar experiences and feels alone, as i do. please feel free to message me or reply.
