Hi DaveDavid,
Without more information, it's going to be challenging to determine what's going on. Here are some questions for you to try and understand what you're experiencing:
1. Have you noticed any patterns related to the time of day, your emotional state, or activities you are engaged in before they happen?
2. Can you recall specific details from your visions, such as landscapes, objects, people, or animals? Even though the memory might fade, noting any recurring themes or symbols can be revealing.
3. During these visions, do you experience any particular physical sensations, such as tingling, warmth, pressure, or feeling pulled in a direction?
4. What emotions arise during and after these visions? Are there specific feelings consistently evoked by these experiences in addition to fear?
5. Are there any known spiritual practices or beliefs in your family history that might resonate with these experiences? Sometimes, cultural or ancestral backgrounds can play a role.
6. Have these visions started after a significant life event, stress, or change in your lifestyle or health?
7. How do these visions align or conflict with your spiritual or religious beliefs? Exploring this might help in framing these experiences within a broader spiritual context.
8. How are these visions affecting your day-to-day life? Are they impacting your ability to function or your relationships with others?
9. Are you seeking guidance or messages within these visions? What are you most hoping to understand or resolve through them?
10. Have you had any intuitive feelings or insights that come to you during or after these visions, even if they seem unrelated or illogical?
11. What is your usual sleep schedule? How many hours of sleep do you get each night, and do you find it difficult to fall or stay asleep?
12. Do these visions occur close to the time you are falling asleep, waking up, or at any specific time during the day or night?
13. How would you rate the quality of your sleep regularly? Do you often feel rested upon waking, or do you experience fatigue throughout the day?
14. Are you currently taking any medications, especially those that affect the central nervous system, such as antidepressants, anti-anxiety medication, or sleep aids? Do you use substances like caffeine, alcohol, or recreational drugs, which might affect your sleep or neurological state?
15. Do you have any known health conditions, particularly neurological disorders or sleep disorders like narcolepsy, sleep apnea, or restless leg syndrome?
