Is it normal to hear the conversations of "other people" in your head when you're trying to fall asleep? it feels like they're trying to keep something from me.

update--

this morning I had what ive described as a 'rage attack' (non-violent dw), something ive had before and associate with my BPD. this was an event i remember but have no connection to, including the next few hours which were a depression blur. I had skype class today that i was having major stress over not attending (recovering from the horrible morning and both teachers are anxiety-provoking ppl even over the internet)

ive never dissociated in a way where i felt myself get dizzy, black out for a sec and then come forward feeling surprisingly ok and, well, not the same. I felt really ok emotionally but had little connection to the place around me. like I've just woken up. a little while later i felt myself pull back like, 'behind the veil' and i watched as myself, or like not myself become really distressed and freak out about having dissociated to a point of blacking. those emotions were not my own. then it was like those emotions were happening behind me, then i was at the forefront again and i felt my body calm back down. ive felt this way ever since.

I still don't feel a connection emotionally to the things around me, for instance i don't care about those classes because it feels like they're not mine to worry about. I associate that 'entity of emotions' as not being me, but being something that deals with a lot and needs a break from feeling too much. i associate that entity as an aqua blue orb of light, my favorite color used to be aqua blue but in the state that im in right now, i see a silver color.

i refuse to diagnose myself with anything, but this really freaked me out. The scariest part was that level of dissociation. that was when it felt like something more than BPD.
