    My dreams are much more realistic that normal people’s dreams. I remember waking up thinking Obama was shot, and dead, because i dreamt that he got shot and died, around 4 times. I can have dreams when i get aprouched by a dark man, or sometimes calles Shadow People. I aprouches me, in my bed, and i cant move. He gets closer and closer, and when he’s just about to take me, i wake up.

    I would collapse by any feelings, like anger, or excitement, or laughter. But when im on medication, i only get seizures, from laughter. I dont collape instantly, i usually, try to sit down, and consentate on thinking “it’s not funny, it’s not funny” and i forgot to say that, Yes i do feel, what happens is my muscles simply fall asleep.

    1-Yes, i dream. Normal people start dreaming around 15 minutes after they fall asleep. I start to dream, maybe 5 minutes after i fall asleep.

    2 – Yes i am fully aware of my surroundings, what happens is that the body thinks i fall asleep, so it goes to sleep mode. But my mind is not asleep, so i hear everythin around me. 3 – Well, energy drinks do help, but i cant say that i realy feel any differen after drinking one. 4 – Well, if i didnt hva eany medication, i would collapse instantly.

    Narcolepsy with …
    Narcolepsy with Cataplexy (loss of muscle tone) is rare in canines, but research, starting with Rusty the Doxy, and continued with the Dobermans showed that it’s a genetic trait.

    The unfortunate thing about Narcolepsy in dogs is that normal drugs, which work on humans, don’t work on the poor things. So when they get excited, or experience certain stimuli, their muscles lock up and they ‘sleep’.

    I think it’s very interesting…but also very heart breaking…the poor dears…
