I have noticed that sometimes, more so after taking Aderall(amphetamine salts) however, sometimes without, I will experience a very bizarre phenomena while trying to go to sleep or when waking up. I play World of Warcraft or surf the web for a few hours before bed. When I finally hit the sack for the night, when I close my eyes my thoughts seems to involuntarily go back to whatever I was doing before, and I "SEE" it very vividly as though it were really happening. Sometimes I will be laying in bed "thinking" that I am playing wow, chatting with friends online, looking things up on Google...but really its all in my head. I'll catch myself after a few minutes and realize I am still laying in bed. It frequently happens after using the computer for a few hours before bed, however it is not always computer related things I see. Sometimes I think I am driving or meeting with someone when I am really not, and I kind of snap out of it. I am certain that I a not asleep when this happens, and it seems so real. Its like my thoughts are projected as vivid images in my mind and I become so absorbed in them that I become involved with them and interact with them as though they were reality. Its very hard to explain... But I have laid in bed and, in my mind, done research on an interesting topic using Google. I'm sure the things I am reading are inaccurate as they are coming from my mind instead of the actual internet. Although at the moment I know I am awake, what I am doing right now, I could be doing while laying in bed and I would think It was really happening. I know this sounds like the rantings of a mad man but it is just very difficult to explain. I want to clarify that not all of these thoughts are computer related, that some of them involve day-to-day activities including social interaction. Any thoughts?
