Not losing consciousness, but feeling as though im in a dream?

[trashleythompson]

A little bit ago, I was in the shower (slightly tmi but you know...). Anyways. I was thinking about all the events that happened in the show I was watching prior to my shower. All of a sudden, I felt like I was in a dream. When I finally came back to reality, I was laying in the bathtub feeling extremely confused. And every time I tried to understand what hazard happened, it felt like it never happened. Like a dream. Now, this sort of thing has happened before. In fact, I was in the hospital not too long ago. They said it was dehydration. But I know this can't be the case this time because I hardly drink anything other than water, an iced tea on the rare occasion. Please help me get some clarity...

Honestly, it sounds like you fainted. That's what happens when I faint. I feel like I'm in a dream and then I wake up lying on the ground. I'm used to fainting though so I can sense the weird feeling I get before fainting so I know it's going to happen. Maybe you're not aware of the feeling you get before you pass out.

I get really dizzy and I often fall down... probably should have seen it coming. Thank you.

Yea, I feel dizzy and like my head is filled with helium (lightheaded) before I faint. So if this sounds like what you experience it's most likely fainting. This can happen due to low blood sugar or just the blood from your brain "dropping" for some reason (nervousness, shock). So just make sure you're eating regularly and drinking water. :)

It could still we'll be dehydration. Drinking only water and iced tea won't help too much of you only drink like a glass of one each day.

I have something similar. Its called epilepsy. That happens when I go into a seizure
