Re: Sleepwalking - I was also suffering from sleep deprivation as I had been in the Army…update 3

In 1977, after an evening out at a night club, I had a little more to drink than usual and fell asleep on the sofa.  I had wet the sofa or bed in my youth and was admonished for it, so I developed repressed memories I expressed as anxiety about falling asleep and the fear of becoming too relaxed in order to keep from wetting the bed and I was a bed wetter until age 12.  As a result, that night after drinking too much, I must have had to go to the bathroom, of which I have no recollection, took a white ashtray off the coffee table, placed it on the floor and urinated in it.

…and had been without sleep many months before joining the Army.  It grew into a serious problem since seeing  The Exorcist, in 1974 which drove me to join the Army.  For 6 months I had less than 4 hours of sleep a night.   The less sleep I got the more angry I did become over not being allowed to sleep for one reason or another.  I felt I had no control of my inability to get adequate sleep and put myself in those situations.

A year or so ago I discovered the film The Woman in Green, which talks about a murder, in which hypnosis was demonstrated to an audience and then to Sherlock Holmes’ sidekick Dr. Watson.   It became clear to me, it was possible to be hypnotized by that film and I wondered had I been the victim of my mother having viewed it.

Update 2: The reason I concluded it was this film is because I had purchased a green coat several years prior to discovering this film and green isn’t even my favorite color.  I later went back and purchased the same coat in black and gave the green one to my sister, who didn’t need a coat but took it anyway.

Update 3:  I was also born at 14 minutes passed midnight so my natural sleep cycle is such that I should be awake at night anyway.

This leads me to think this was the reason I was in a state of hypnotic sleep, but really wide awake physically and acting out the thoughts of the person I was or am connected to in Massachusetts.   I am guessing the writer who might have been penning the events resided in Chapel Hill, NC where I had visited in 1972 so the thoughts were still going on in the mind.
