Last night I had a very bad nightmare. And the nightmare has followed me since my childhood. It starts by feeling small and the world is so bigger than me then I feel like I'm getting bolder : my hand is so big then I throw something that gets bigger and bigger until I feel like it's ok and I don't see it anymore then the world turns upside down like the gravity is changed  and something is going to crush me thenmy heart starts beating and I start to run then I wake up and can't sleep for 2h. Why is that happening and it's really disturbing.

(this happens when I'm sick)

    I suspect you're still quite young. What you're describing is mild delirium due to a slightly raised temperature. (I note you say it happens when you're sick.) I distinctly remember having these sensations during dreams, and sometimes even before I fell asleep, as a child whenever I had a fever. This persisted into my early 20s and can even happen now (at age 72!) if I'm unwell. These days, I always take it as a sign I have a fever.

    I know it's unpleasant and scary, but it's completely harmless and will wear off with age. Try not to worry about it. Nothing will happen to you as a result.

      I'm glad to hear that. These dreams, which are quite common and completely harmless, may come back from time to time, especially if you have a cold, for instance. But don't let them bother you.
