Dream Seizures

A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭
Otisville, MI

I've started to experience a new seizure. When I go to bed at night and fall asleep I start to have a dream and dream I'm having a seizure while also having an out of body experience. Like I'm watching myself having a seizure. My husband told me the last two nights I've had a seizure in my sleep. Has anyone else experienced dreaming of having a seizure while having an actual seizure?

Normally I have an Aura, but the past few I've had I was asleep dreaming that I was having a seizure in like 3rd person. Ended up having seizures while dreaming about it. Very new to me.

Sure is. I've ended up in places and don't know how I got there. Done stuff and don't know how. Was cooking one day and had oven gloves on and burnt myself half way up my arm. Didn't hurt at time until after as did not know how I did it. How on earth it was my arm I don't know as you would think it would be your wrists.
When I was a kid getting ready for school I put my sister skirt on and was unware of what I was doing.
It's so scary as I think I'm going crazy at times.
