I have a rare condition that causes me to have problems being able to dream and go into deep sleep. It's called rem sleep when you go to deep sleep. Normal people have rapid eye movements in deep sleep, I do not. Sometimes this causes me to sleep walk but I remember doing it. I use to draw pictures of my experiences. I call it dream walking because I am walking in my sleep but I am also dreaming about reality. What's horrible about it is that in my sleep I don't suffer from dystonia so I don't have problems walking and moving. I wish it was real because I want to be able to move around like before. I am learning how to cope with it again. I had brain surgery in 2010 to put a deep brain stimulator into my brain so I can move. I had three years of freedom before it was stolen from me once again. Now I am sicker than I was before the brain surgery. It's not caused by the dystonia though. I didn't know I have genetic issues that show up after 29 years. The poor doctor's do their best to help me. They don't know everything. I am actually teaching them about rare occasions and how to treat them. I don't mind being a test patient. I made the decision a long time ago. My mom helped me. Now if the doctors need someone to help them understand something I am the one who they ask questions to. I have helped others over the years. I am proud of myself.
