Help me please?!

Post Reply New Topic

I just woke up not that long ago a weird dream and my mum and sister. For some reason it just does not feel real. I feel detached from reality. Like I'm still in a dream. I had this weird feeling that my mum and sister or dog are not real or my food. My food does not taste as strong as usual. I think it is because of the dream. I don't know what is going on? Help me please I'm scared!

It will pass. Do something familiar. Engage in your normal activities. Focus in on the thing you really like. That should ground you.

I felt like that sometimes when I was suffering from a psychotic depression. If your not too depressed in general, I would assume it's from the dream & like QuiversWhiskers said~ it will pass but it may not till you go back to bed & get up the next day.

I would sometimes get a feeling of "unreality" looking in a mirror. This happened when I was a teenager. Like, as I saw myself in the mirror, I got this feeling of "I'm real, I think i'm real...AM I real?" Kind of went back and forth for a bit. But then something happened to distract me--I forget what--but it was something normal and mundane. Brought a feeling of "this is real" back to me.

My sense of taste was not affected. But I would agree that I think you should distract yourself with something and hopefully it will pass.

Honestly I have never told anybody about this happening, before this. It was so many years ago and it was one of those things that i figured people would think was really weird. It makes me feel a little better to know i'm not the only one. I was not frightened by it, though...i hope your mind can soon rest easily.
