Brain Pain

On Monday, I had amnesia. Well, not on Monday. I noticed Tuesday that I had no memory at all of Monday from about 13:00 or so onwards. Judging from browser logs, e-mail, IM logs, and the telephone's history, I didn't do much, except apparently talk to victoriana, who seems to be well, or else I was lying to baronden about it. It's been a long time (three years) since I've had amnesia.

Last night at an unknown hour, I woke up to my brain working too fast. No, seriously. First, think about what must be happening for that. I'd be getting tons of blood pouring into my head, which means blood would be diverted from other parts of my body. My extremities would get tingly and cold, and my head would get really, really hot. I'd also start the next day with a massive headache. My body would also get sluggish and weak. What's it like? Well, for me, it was watching equations fly by my consciousness, but calculating each one as it went by. I'd move my arm, and be inundated by the equations and formulas that described how it was moving. At the time, it seemed like my subconscious was processing them all, solving them as I moved, but my conscious self was still partly unaware of what was going on unless I concentrated on individual ones. And we're not talking about a simple parabolic trajectories. I was seeing material tension equations, complex leverage systems, pull of gravity and electromagnetism between systems. Not gravitic forces exerted by earth and the systems, gravitic forces exerted between the two systems. Now my brain hurts like hell. I get the impression that I've been like this before. But it always seems to happen when I am asleep, or getting there.
