i seem to be forcing myself awake? when i start in a nightmare, i feel like i'm closing my eyes really tight and then i see the room that i was in when i fell asleep, it's like thumping in and out until i either wake up a few seconds after or i'm sucked back into another dream.
i have to do this a few times a night and even when i take naps which usually leads to me being up and down at random times of the night. is this just me messed up or has this happened to to others?
not exactly sure what you're describing, but i can say
