Asleep but Not

My entire life, from my first memories, I have always been awake while I sleep.

Not mind racing thoughts. Organized, deliberate, useful sleep-thinking.

I work out problems, plan the next day, remember what was forgotten, make and retain mental notes, brainstorm ideas for my next work project, find lost items.

I just look around in my own mind. Kind of like shuffling through a slide show until I find what I’m looking for, all while asleep.

I’m 44 years old. In my early teens, I was under the care of a Neurologist. Then again in my very early 20’s and early 30’s (for migraines) I have had EEG’s, MRI’S, CT’s, and two sleep studies done. All of which were “unremarkable”. There is nothing medically wrong with me.

My RAW DNA has been analyzed and my genetic traits strongly correlate to my sleep-thinking pattern.

It’s hard for me to explain, but I have a very recent, simple example.

I helped my youngest clean her space before college started a few months ago. After we cleaned and organized she asked me “did you see my charging bank anywhere?”

I said “I feel like I did but let me think on it in my sleep and I’ll see it.”

Next morning I called her “while I was sleeping I saw the bank in the storage bin next to the tv by the kitchen counter.”

Her “okay weirdo it’s there.”

This is normal to me.

Does anyone here sleep this way?

And if so, do you also have more frequent unexplainable experiences than most people?

I have completed forms online for medical records from the area I grew up to see what I can find out about test results from my younger years.

    Thank you for sharing your fascinating story. Yes, sleep is definitely connected to all of it, as that’s where we goes back to a higher realm where we connect to our higher soul. And from your story it sounded like for some reason other versions of you that would normally be at a higher dimension such as the 4th dimension astral realms, where we go to in our dreams, are present in your 3rd dimensional life. Not sure if you draw them in or if they chose to go into a lower frequency timeline to help you here for some reason. I never had anything close to the experiences you’ve described, other than being awake while sleeping. I always had very vivid and intense dreams and nightmares until a few years ago, when my spiritual awakening took off. I now realize that our dreams are a reality at a higher dimension, the astral plane/4th dimension, and allows us to interact and experience what different versions of us are doing at another timeline. Nighttime is exhausting and I often wake up very tired, cause I don’t really sleep like other people do. I remember the experiences at night as if they truly happened in this waking world and the same dimension as my waking life. Maybe I do in my dream world to my other selves what they do to you here. Who knows how it all intermingles. I do remember and write down most of my dream experiences. Feels like I live a few multiple lifetimes at once in my head, cause my body is asleep while my mind isn’t.

      I do not dream at all. Not naturally, anyway. The only times I’ve ever had anything close to a dream is when I’ve been highly medicated. And those dreams are disturbing and unsettling. Pain medication especially gives me horrible, gut wrenching nightmares. I have developed a very high pain tolerance during my lifetime because I refuse to take pain meds after surgeries. And even the worse pain, like the dog mauling, I will suffer through before taking pain meds because they disrupt the way my brain works during sleep to the point that it affects my mental health. So I just skip the meds altogether

    I cannot connect everything yet, but I solve problems in my “sleep,” too!! Some of my best brainstorming is while I sleep. I solve problems and come up with ideas during my body’s sleeping hours. I wish I could count how many solutions and ideas have come to me when it was not logical that any type of conscious thought should be occurring! My kids also think I’m weird because obviously this is not something they do.

      Yes! All of this! It is totally normal to me and honestly I don’t know how anyone else can function if they don’t sleep this way. It’s when my mind is the most quiet and I get the most use out of it. lol

    This is somewhat similar to how I sleep. I very rarely feel like I actually deep sleep. I tend to stay in a state somewhere between being awake and asleep. And I tend to remain fully aware of things going on around me. I also do a lot of thinking/problem solving in this half asleep/half awake state.

    I do dream sometimes though. When I do, I am fully aware that I am dreaming and can make decisions/changes based on the fact that I know that I am dreaming.
