Brain Beams

I am reading in bed, and something strange is happening. over the course of the last 45 minutes or so, I have been startled five times by what feels like a beam of energy shooting through my skull. Each time, the sensation has been so strong and startling that I've cried out in surprise. It isn't painful, exactly; it feels more like an electric current. And it's LOUD. It's not exploding head syndrome or night terrors; it's completely new to me.

The phenomenon has stopped for now. If it comes back tomorrow, I guess I should see a doctor? but it doesn't hurt…

I read this late at night and it really freaked me out .

Freaked me out too, believe me. I actually shouted "What the F," the first time. Thankfully Sylvia had her earplugs in. Fortunately, no recurrence today.

I'd like for you to visit your doctor. While waiting in the office, read your PKD. VALIS, Radio Free Albemuth, or the Exegesis if you have it.
