FILD... Scary Experience... REM While Awake?!

[youssarian]

OK, had I read the FILd tutorial I would have seen the part where it talks about the eye movement and actually remember that tends to happen. Well, imagine my surprise when I feel to a half-sleep state so fast that I kinda surprised myself. Then the waking REM, which is what it felt like. OK at first I was slightly disoriented but decided to go with it. Then as it grew in intensity, I got worried because my eyes were freaking out without my control. Eventually, it just got too scary and I aborted. But see the thing is that since then, two days ago, it feels like if I keep my eyes closed for too long they'll start fritzing. Today, I've been more willing to let it happen but it's quite a startler. Eh.
