Well, there's been lots of threads on dreams lately, so I thought I'd post something that is at least possibly a dream.
I've been having this experience for many years now. It always goes something like this:
I wake up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom. I try to turn on the bathroom light but it won't turn on. I go around the house trying all the lights and none of them will come on. Eventually I have to go to the bathroom in the dark. Sometimes all the electricity in the entire house is out- computers, alarm clocks, etc. It's all black. I go back to bed, the next morning everything is fine and working properly.
This experience is completely normal except for the lack of working light bulbs. No weird stuff happening to suggest it is a dream.
When this first started happening I thought it was an actual electrical malfunction- something to do with the house, not my mind, but it has happened at every place I've moved to. I had one of these experiences the other night and it was the first one in a while, though I was more certain this one was a dream because when I tried to turn the lamp on it was in the wrong place, as if someone had moved it across the room. When I woke up the lamp was obviously exactly where it was supposed to be.
These experiences seem very real to me, and somewhat annoying. Trying to go to the bathroom in the dark in the middle of the night isn't exactly a picnic. I honestly don't know if they are dreams or if I'm sleepwalking or what.
Has anyone else experienced anything like this?
