No, thankfully i haven't experienced anything like this before, and hopefully i never will. My guess is that it was a low level lucid maybe. |

I had an odd dream occurence last night. As I was lying in bed in a bedroom in my dream, I suddenly realized that I could not really remember much about who or where I was. I knew I had a job, but it took me a great deal of struggle before I could correctly visualize the building where I worked. However, I still could not remember what my actual job was, or in what city the building was located. It was a truly horrifying sensation to not be able to put the pieces together. I could not even make sense of where it was that I seemed to be at that moment. Was I in a dorm room? Was I in an apartment? I couldn't even make out how old I was supposed to be. When I finally turned over a little bit (in the dream), I could see that the door at the foot of my bed was open, and I could see a kind of lit receptionist area out across the hallway, and that spooked me even more. |

I have had something like that happen but it in no way felt as if I was lucid. "Dementia" isn't the right word, but it's the first that comes to mind. For those of you who haven't had something like this happen, it feels (to me) much like a dream where I am being chased. Instead of running away from pursuers, however, your mind is racing to find out what the hell is going on... When I wake up from mine, I get that kind of "Holy sweet grace on high! I am SO glad that was a dream" feeling... |

I've had many situations like this. What happens is that our dreams are not always consisted of a storyline as we think of it, but it is actually made of chained thoughts while you're in REM sleep. You may actually be thinking rationally, but inside a dream that wasn't pre-made. If you think of your dog, the image of it will slowly show up, and so on. It's similar to a really deep level of meditation. |

Saying quantum physics explains cognitive processes is just like saying geology explains jurisprudence.
Yes, I think "dementia" is the right word, or alzheimer's. It is the state of being aware, and being aware that one is currently missing large chunks of one's memory. Based on an experience like this, I definitely don't ever want to have to deal with actually getting alzheimer's. It's way too scary. |
