I definitely have fucked up sleep patterns. I may be mildly narcoleptic or have a similar issue. My sleep states cycle rapidly and as a result, I remember a high number of dreams, which sometimes occur constantly throughout the night with an awakening every half hour or so. The old wife lady remembers a dream upon waking like once a month, and I average 2.5 per night. I can get "stuck in a loop" and have the same dream continuously for hours. The sucky part is that it's usually just a fragment of a dream or even just a thought. All night long just walking a single flight of steps, wondering how to get somewhere, or even just thinking blue, blue, blue, forever. Sometimes even getting out of bed for a half hour isn't enough to break the cycle! I have lucid dreams every week, but I'm not able to control the direction, only able to recognise it for a dream. I've experienced somnambulism a few times, but nothing freaky.
I have had three "out of body" experiences connected to paralysis events, each time I slid off the bed feet first and layed on the floor wondering how I would get up since I can't move, only to wake up in the bed and confused about being there.
Someday I need a sleep study. Really though, I don't have insomnia and I'm thankful for that. I am a hardy fellow who can get by on 5 hours of sleep every night, even with wakings at least every hour.
One perk, I've almost never overslept more than about 15-20 minutes and I don't use an alarm clock. I always know about what time it is.
wow! out of body experience sounds kinda freaky. never had that happen to me before.
I use an alarm clock, but i tend to wake up before it goes off. I can go to bed real late and still wake up when i have to. Although my cats don't help with me sleeping in

I have had an out of body dream experience....same dream/experience that I used to have about once a month as a teen. Haven't had for about 20 years. Recall it being very freaky.
It is odd how some people always remember dreams and others seem to rarely remember.
I also have soundtracks to my dreams sometimes....the dream changes but the music stays the same.
"The old wife lady" made me laugh. My bride would put a hammer to my balls if I called her that!
well that was kinda weird, had a dream that i had sleep paralysis. Just remember in my dream that i was in a different room trying to sleep when I saw these two glowing eyes looking down at me from up above. Remember shivering trying to wake myself up.
