Around once a month, for the past 2 or 3 years, I'll go to bed without thinking twice about anything. It'll be "just one of those days", and I'll end up having the trippiest most torturous dream cycle that lasts nigh-indefinitely. I'll have excruciatingly long, dreadful dreams that feel like they've lasted a whole night, then I'll wake up, and go back to bed, only for this to repeat. The content of the dreams varies wildly, from neverending rides to exploring dark dungeons and caverns. My point of view in dreams is usually heavily restricted and I only really possess a vague feeling of awareness.
I'll do this like seven times before I finally get out of bed and look at the time. Usually only an hour would have passed. When I go back to bed after that, I sleep normally with no issue, occasionally I'll get sleep paralysis upon waking up after that.
Does anyone else experience something similar? Or at least, can someone provide an explanation?
One of the most important aspects of these dreams is a feeling of total crushing despair that encompasses my entire being. It's like a weight on my heart dragging me down to hell. Recently I've been having normal dreams with that feeling too.
