Default Narcolepsy- Hypnagogic Hallucinations
Hi,

I'm sorry for what you're going through. My daughter has suffered with Narcolepsy, and as part of the condition she sometimes has Hypnagogic Hallucinations-- which sound similar to what you may be going through.

Have you ever had a sleep test? It may be wise to do so if this continues.

God bless

Two nights ago I experienced the most horrifying nightmare I ever had.
I was a sleep in the dream and heard an intruder. I tried to call to my sister and only muffled cries came from my mouth. I went to hold my bedroom door shut...a large, muscular, shadowy, winged, devil-like creature broke in and started wrestling with me...I felt for sure I was going to die. I know I was trying to scream and was going through fighting motions? Would this be a symptom of a seizure?

Thanks
