Please help.

I've been posting a fair bit recently but I need to ask if anyone can relate to this particular worry. I keep remembering old dreams. I will be watching TV or doing something random when I suddenly have a flashback to a dream I had ages ago. It is just an image of part of a dream. I've always remembered my dreams the next day and often have something happen that reminds me of my dreams. This is different though. It is not a recent dream it can be dreams from a long time ago. I'm so scared. Every time it happens I have a wave of panic.

After googling I found that some people who have epilepsy experience this and it's called simple partial seizures where consciousness isn't lost. I read lots of personal stories by people and they mention these flashbacks too.

I've never heard of this as an anxiety symptom and I am just so scared. I keep thinking it's a brain tumour causing it. I also feel spaced out and sometimes woozy. I'm actually sleeping really well.

Please, if anyone has ever had these dream flashes please tell me.

hi Sarah

just a quick question

are these dreams about something you fear or something that has happened

Hello
No particular dream at all. My dreams don't scare me. What is scaring me is that I keep remember bits of dreams that I've had over the months/years. If they were nightmares I could understand remember them. But this is just random flashes of old dreams.

I don't know. I'm so wrapped up in this fear right now that I can't see it being anything else. So many people with certain forms of seizures describe what I have. How can it be anything else?
