Suggest Treatment For Disorientation
Last Saturday I had a dream that ended with me being set alight - I woke up sitting on my sofa with my nightie melted to me! I was positive that what happened in my dream was real - but since seeing the burns on my right arm etc. I know I did it. Had 9 hours sleep since Sunday as have a 17 year old in the house & am scared I will harm her. She spent the night at boyfriends & I slept for 8 hours
