bad dreams and inaminated objects moving and feel like bugs are everywhere !

[danni182]

i've been having bad dreams for a bit but i managed to block it. last night i went to bed as normal and like half an hour later it felt like bugs or something were crawling all over me. i changed my clothes thinking that this would stop it and it was just them irritating it then persisted. i then fell asleep and had a really bad dream i realised i was and woke up. I then saw a cartoon in a square playing on my wall i looked up and it was covering the ceiling this cartoon of a man hanging himself . I started to get really paranoid and the bug feeling came back. Then later i saw inanimate objects ( like my coat )moving. I used to see this all the time when i was younger but i got out of that phase when my parents got me a nightlight. I now can only sleep in the dark as i suffer migranes with lights. and well i am too scared to go in my bedroom and the problem is i need sleep as i have my final exams next week ! I just don't know what to do

I'm sure you will be fine anxiety and stress cause funny things,maybe your parents don't understand how hard things for teenagers.

Relax, meditate, and think positive thoughts will help you immensley.

Good luck Chick

Hello and hope you are doing well.

Your symptoms could be due to hypnogogic hallucinations. This is the symptom of a sleep disorder called Narcolepsy. This sleep disorder is characterized by excessive day time sleepiness, sleep paralysis, cataplexy where the person has episodes of loss of muscle function while awake, hypnogogic hallucinations and automatic behavior. You will need to consult your primary care physician, who may schedule you for a polysomnogram (sleep test) to rule out sleep disorders and initiate appropriate therapy.

Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
