Narcolepsy

[musicalangel]

What does it mean when hallucination appears during sleep?
What is the difference between having a true-like dream and sleep hallucination?

It probably means you're not completely asleep or awake, but somewhere between.

this is similar to paralisys, its when you know your dreaming but it seams so real. you may, in your own mind, try to move so you can varify whats happening and fall back to a deeper dream or sleep state or pull your self out of the paralytic state. IN all you know whats going on but you can't controll it. PS I have a puff befor I go to bed I don't enter those frightening states. Some daytime naps can become unconfortable dream paralic states.I have challenged narcolepsy for a very long period and experienced very serious side effects from drugs tried. I have been lucky. My trade was in the service indusrty.Driving from job site to job, constantly battling to stay awake . 10am 2pm doesn't matter.
100's of times falling asleep behind the wheel.

A hallucination is when you know without a doubt that you woke up (are awake), but something crazy is happening just like a dream.

For ex. I woke up one morning and sat up in bed. These huge basketball size spiders started crawling up the end of the bed. I could see everything in my room. I couldn't move until they were almost on me. I flailed my arms trying to scramble backwards to get away, ultimately karate chopping my DH in the neck. DH waking up, woke me up and the spiders disappeared.

Everything was the same before and after except the spiders so not a dream a hallucination.

Hi Danniel When you say you were swinging your arms and what ever. I guess you broke out of any paralytic state if you know what I mean. One inportant thing to remember, "what drugs am I taking for my tiredness. Because different thouhgts can be created in your own mind the emaginary area and then brought to the fore front of your real world and then you believe it. Whatch out, you tell to many people and they begin to wonder, oh! and this feeds your fire. yeh, those prescribed drugs can do a lot, so take note. And if you got children, junior, learning difficulties, ADHD and all that, and the docs want to try Retilyn, Dexidrin does your child have tourets, weird twitches and sounds . Well I have a now 16 year old boy. He's all good now. no more tic's (tourets syndrum), and average to above average marks in grade ten. The docs didn't do it.
