Dream/Feel like I'm dying
Hi, all! I'm writing because I've started having these dreams, or near dreams, that I'm dying and now I am really scared of going to sleep....Could use some perspective, if anyone else ever felt this way....
So: I'm about to fall asleep (still conscious at this point). Suddenly, I start feeling like my body no longer exists. I know, I know, you usually don't really say I feel my body exists, but trust me, when you no longer feel like you have a body you know. I starts with my hands, it goes to my feet. I am conscious and I know this is the beginning of dying. Usually at this point I jump and try to flex my hands and try to feel my body existing again. Although I can move, it still takes a few moments for the sensation to disappear.
If I don't jump right a way, I feel like I am going deeper and deeper inside, like the feeling of falling asleep but a thousand times heavier. Again, I am conscious, and I know this is just the path towards death. Like if I let myself go, my heart and breath will stop, and I will just die. Again, at this point I jump. I've never let myself go. But now, I am so afraid of going to sleep....
Does anybody know what this means? has anybody felt anything similar? Please share.
thank you!
