These usually happen to me at the most inopportune times (e.g.. during meetings at work, etc.). The feeling is so overwhelming that I have no choice but to concentrate on the thought. During an episode I can see individuals that I have never met. The more I concentrate the further I seem to be pulled from this reality.<\/p>\n<p>The feeling during this state is euphoric. However, when I finally snap out of it my brain feels totally confused and I get a sick to my stomach feeling. It then takes me at least 2 hours for my brain to reset and the sick feeling to go away. After that I am fine until it happens again. (usually 3 or 4 times a week)<\/p>\n<p>I do have a stressful position at work. I have also gone for a CAT scan and it showed nothing. Am I just going nuts or what?!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\">\u2014 Anonymous<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">For the Dream Doctor\u2019s response, click<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/damwebserver.com\/dreamdoctor\/articles\/waking-dreams-2\/\" id=\"1518\" option=\"com_content\">here<\/a><br \/> <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Back to<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/damwebserver.com\/dreamdoctor\/articles\/narcolepsy\/\" id=\"84\" option=\"com_content\">Narcolepsy page<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","categories":[3224,3250],"class_list":["post-36486","articles","type-articles","status-publish","hentry","category-better-sleep-question","category-narcolepsy-diagnosis"],"acf":{"article_id":"1511"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/damwebserver.com\/dreamdoctor\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/articles\/36486","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/damwebserver.com\/dreamdoctor\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/articles"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/damwebserver.com\/dreamdoctor\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/articles"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/damwebserver.com\/dreamdoctor\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=36486"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/damwebserver.com\/dreamdoctor\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=36486"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
