Alice in Wonderland Syndrome?

[ccrinbama]

I've been having this problem for a while now as I go to sleep, and it's been keeping me from carrying out any kind of lucid activities. After I close my eyes, I imagine my room, and the dimensions of everything are obscenely skewed. It's nigh impossible for me to imagine my bed being the right size in relation to the washing machine (I sleep in a laundry room), or to imagine the ceiling of my room not being being incredibly high or unimaginably low. The dimensions will actively stretch and shrink in my mind, and it bothers me that I can't imagine them properly. I end up opening my eyes, looking around to get the proper dimensions, then trying again. It doesn't keep me from falling asleep, but it keeps me from being relaxed enough to drift into a WILD or something comparable. I've read that it's a common occurence while falling asleep, and it never happens while I'm awake. The fact that it's common means that I assume someone on the forums will have experienced it! Any insight would be greatly appreciated. I'm not asking for a remedy or anything, just for people to let me know if they've had any comparable experiences.

Oh yeah, I do this quite a bit. Are you an artistic person or particularly creative? I honestly just always thought it was the "artist" in me trying to draw an accurate picture of my surroundings (or anything else I'm thinking about before going to sleep), and becoming frustrated when unable to do so. I've found it best to just let it go and stop trying so hard and things will happen more naturally. If you can't get the dimensions right, stop thinking about your room. Think about something else lol.

I experience this from time to time, especially when I'm trying to imagine someone in particular. When this happens, I just shift my attention. Count your breaths instead or count to 1000 in your head, by twos. OR If you're really epic in math (I do this sometimes if I'm really having trouble with this issue) count in squares. For instance 1 squared is 1. 2 squared is 4 3 squared is 9 4 squared is 16 5 squared is 25 6-36; 7-49; 8-64; 9-81; 10-100; 11-121... and so on and so forth. If THAT doesn't work... Maybe prayer?
