Parnate and nightmares (Big correction to my OP)

Thank you all for your responses.

In my OP, I made it believe that I had gone to bed and had a nightmare very shortly after (11:30pm) I wrote that because I genuinely believed that to be the case.

I found out later on, however, something that really scared me.

When I woke up at 11pm on "Sunday night", I thought I had gone to bed around 9pm and only slept 2 hours or so.

The reality was that I went to bed at 3am on Sunday night. I could figure this out because I took my blood pressure last on Sun at 3am and wrote it in my spreadsheet. (I take my blood pressure several times daily after my 3 Parnate doses.)

Surprisingly, there were no results written for Monday. When I woke up at 11:30pm, it was actually Monday night, not Sunday night, as I first assumed.

So what really happened was: I had gone to bed on Sunday somewhere around 3am, and without realizing, slept all through Monday and woke up at 11:30pm on MONDAY NIGHT. I slept somewhere around 20 hours in a row without waking up and without even realizing what happened. I had no recollection of anything except for what happened Sunday. It didn't feel like a whole day of sleeping to me, that was probably the scariest part.

So after going to bed at 3am on Sunday, and waking up at 11:30pm on Monday night, I finally woke up Tuesday morning, thinking it was Monday, and didn't find out the actual date until later that afternoon when I looked at my cell and wristwatch.

This means I lost a whole day of taking my medication without even noticing. And I assume the nightmare must have been a result of the oversleeping? I must have been awfully sleep deprived that I ended up just sleeping straight through.

I have no idea, but this was the scariest nightmare ever. I swear to God I kept looking at my room and it looked totally weird and gloomy, I did not recognize a lot in it, it looked like death to me. I also felt so desperate to talk to someone, (and I'm not like that at all, when I'm upset, I always keep to myself and I NEVER need to "talk to someone") but this time I went as far as to see if there was a neighbor around, and I actually hit the streets to see if i could find a friendly face at 12am and just talk for five minutes to feel better because I just felt devastated. Of course, I didn't find anyone.

It was just horrible. It was like going from normal depression, to being more depressed than you can possibly be. The pit of depression, where things are no longer even half bad half good, everything's bad, and as bad as it can get. Sometimes I look at my closet and still get chills from the nightmare.

If anyone has some scientific explanation for this, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
