Jenny,

What you need to do (and what I *should* do at some point) is get a sleep study (polysomnogram) with an EEG analyzed by a neuro. I know you mentioned several EEG's that were evidently negative. My Mom had nocturnal (nighttime) generalized (grand mal) seizures that she had no recollection of. You are evidently conscious during these episodes. So you possibly could be having partial seizures. Another possibility is you are experincing phenomena related to *auras* that often precede migraine headaches. I wouldn't consider any of my symptoms "dream flashbacks", more like derealization feelings. What did your pdoc think of all of this?

Mitch
