dont know how to explain this but i would to know this is normal. I can be having a wonderful day and enjoying the beauty of the world then i suddenly get hit with this wave of sadness,confusion, and unreality. I start to feel like im in a dream that i cant wake up from and that SCARES me. Then, thats when i start to panic and want to run. i feel like im in a dream world from thereon for a few days. I havent seen or heard of anyone complaining of this. Am i first one feeling this or scared of it?

Hello, One of the symptoms of anxiety that a lot of us on here have is a feeling of unreality, out of body feeling, a feeling of detachment. This can occur in depression as well as anxiety. You are most likely experiencing this "out of body", unreal feeling like you are in a dream. I, personally, have had what you describe. I have learned through this program that it is just a symptom (among many) and to simply recognize what it is, float through it and know that you will be "back to normal" soon. Just know that it will not hurt you and that it will pass in time. If you continue having these episodes or if they get more frequent, by all means see your family doctor and discuss it with him/her. Good luck and it can be very scary!

Hey,

Walk in the dream and walk until you walk out of it,that way it will not cause any anxiety if you realize that you will always walk out of it !!!!
