Falling Asleep in the Day

Hmm. I wondered as a child whether or not it would be possible to 'watch' or 'playback' an entire film in your head, lol. Has proven impossible thus far.

Only ever happened to me once, but I'm pretty sure I watched most of 'Twister' in a dream
 
@Calvert: Damn straight.
@Chris: I have a friend called Kasuki and she watches anime in her head. I can remember the entire plot of some House and BONES episodes and go through them in my head and laugh at some of the lines and stuff but it's hard to explain. I'm not playing back and it's not completely clear. When I was younger I could remember scripts of some movies though.
@Kempy: I used to have quite bad nightmares when I was younger, like having to handle a glass ball of gas in a pirate ship, and if I dropped it I'd melt and die a slow death(I saw someone else die in the dream from it) and I was scared shitless xD. But now I'm a lot more nihilistic and I don't think I'd be very worried about dropping it. I actually think my nihilism is probably why I no longer have nightmares.
Once I also had a dream where babies were coming out from the floor and I woke up and had a panic attack o_O. It was the worse feeling I'd ever felt in my life. The panic attack that is. I felt like I was seriously going to die and had no control over my body. While my hands were sort of spazzing out(is that a derogatory term?) I felt completely paralysed at the same time...
I also woke up nearly about to have one(I felt one coming on but I didn't enter paralysis or w.e, just that horrible starting feeling) when I had another dream about a dwarf who attacked me in the supermarket o_O...
I find it hard to believe when people say they have panic attacks frequently(like a couple of times a week[I know people who've claimed to have several in an hour]), because I honestly would just kill my self if I did. It's such a horrible feeling... I really hope that when I do die I don't feel like that.
EMZ=]
 
@Emor, i had a paralyzing feeling after the gunshot, i was awake and couldn't move in my bed for over 5 minutes, it's really weird. I think this is a sort kind of mechanism to protect yourself because your mind is not set to sleep but your body is, just as if one part of your brains is not functioning... but your right that paralyzing is creepy, i think it feels the same as braking your back like that sort of paralyzing...

That? :P.
Mine are more I had no control over my body and I could only feel pain, and my right arm was pushing my left shoulder down so hard I felt like screaming but couldn't :S.

Sometimes if I'm really bored or tired I'll lie down on my bed and sleep for a while. I don't actually fall asleep; I get to this point where I'm generally unaware of my surroundings, and dreaming too, but if I hear a noise or someone calling me (I usually do this late in the afternoon and hear my mom calling me to set the table for dinner) I immediately wake up. Sometimes I suddenly wake up even if I don't hear anything.
Even at night sometimes I'll go into this state and then wake up all of a sudden... and then doze back off into that state and then into real sleep.
