So here's something which has happened to me only on a few occasions, albeit not recently, but which i find to be quite interesting.
Typicly, it occurs when I have spent my last few days doing the same thing non-stop (playing a particular videogame, for example), but not allways.
So I awaken from a dream, often about the thing in which I have spent the last few days doing, but my mind and body is on hyperdrive. I can't lie still, I have to keep repositioning and moving around constantly, much like the 'tests' described when attempting to WILD, the moment I lie still I'm feeling uncomfortable and I simply HAVE to move.
But the main thing that gets me is that my mind is screaming out on the particular topic in which I dreamt. Its like no matter how hard I try, I can't stop thinking about this particular thing. I can't stop imaging it and I can't focus my attention elsewhere (not with ease, anyway). If i pay attention to my physical movement, the second I lie still the thoughts are being forced into my mind. It feels like my mind is so active that it is literally removing any posibility of falling asleep.
Anyway, after an annoying 5-10 minutes of constant repositioning and trying to calm my thoughts, next thing I know I've fallen asleep again.
So, my question is as follows:
How many other people have experienced similar occurences?
