Dream/deja vu/ dizzy

[donnamck]

When I was younger, say 15/16. I used to experience dizzy spells, it may sound weird, but it was certain things that triggered them, the most common at that age was if I was walking to school and there was a bin van, like the ones that come and take the bins away, well if i looked into the back of that specific van, it would trigger it and send me into a trance-like dizzy turn, where my face would burn, sweating, feeling slightly nauseous, my body would tense up and I'd feel like I was in a dream I'd had about being in the same situation, it was like the feeling you get when you are JUST about to faint, like I SHOULD be fainting but I can actually stop myself and though I'm in a trance, I can still respond a tiny bit  just to let whoever is closest to me know that I'm ok. now it stopped for a few years after that, I'm now almost 21 and I'm getting them worse than ever, though now its not just the bin vans that trigger them, it's with whatever I see in reality that is a like-ness to a dream I've had a day or two before. I get them IN my sleep sometimes, I get them JUST as I'm waking up, and It's not a typical head rush from standing up too quick because if I really think, and try, I can actually trigger them and go into one myself!. I don't know if this is a good explanation, but its like my subconscious and my conscious are battling and it's sending me into a little seizure, could this be it? I get enough sleep, but lately I've been a bit restless which for me is pretty normal but when I get to sleep then I do sleep for a good length of time. Please help if anyone has experienced this before? I do plan to go to the doctors. Many thanks. Sorry it's so long. Donna

I am experiencing the exact same symptoms as you describe! Seaching the web now looking for answers. I had a terrible episode today and for me it mostly happens while im driving! also even seconds after I forget the memory that came to my mind.

Also, they usually last about 1/2 minutes and afterwards I have a headache sometimes and feel so drowzy that I usually fall asleep.
