>It alway happened at night after I was asleep. I remember waking up to a loud racing noice in my head that just keep getting louder and faster, louder and faster.
I used to have something similar. As well as louder and faster there was a sense of my hands feeling close to my mouth, of strange textural sensations and of increasing significance and something that was all-knowing and mocking and as Laurie Lee says in Cider With Rosie "smiling smiles of unsmiling smileness". I gather that our Laurie had epilepsy. As his description ties in with my own experience so well I figure I must have some temporal lobe epilepsy, subsyndromal perhaps. Fever would bring it on when I was a child, and once as a young adult this happened, producing bouts of this phenomenon that continued long after the illness. The episodes would last about 10 minutes and would usually disappear if someone spoke to me. Make sense anyone?
