Last night, I fell asleep while perusing G@G and began to dream of a sort of speed therapy, where a therapist would enter an office where I was already seated, we'd talk for a few minutes, then the next therapist would enter, and so on. After a few rounds like this, an odd-looking man enters, sits down, begins to speak, but in a barely audible whisper.
After about 15 seconds of this, I begin to awaken, realizing that I'd been dreaming, but I continue to actually hear the whispering. Terrified, I try to call out to whoever is whispering, but I have no voice. I've experienced loss of voice upon waking before, but this was different.
Then the whispering stops and I begin to hear what sounds like myself engaged in sex with a partner.
I am fully awake at this point and frozen with fear. It took a good, full minute for me to be able to get up to investigate, at which point the voices stopped.
I've been a lucid dreamer for most of my life, but this was no dream. I heard those voices. They were not the usual self-talk internal voices that I sometimes hear in my head.
I've been drinking whiskey on a somewhat regular basis for some months now. I wonder if I'm having DTs or becoming psychotic.
