Page suffered night hallucinations as child
July 6th, 2010 - 1:34 pm ICT by IANSLondon, July 6 (IANS) Actress Ellen Page reveals that she used to suffer from night hallucinations as a child.
The Oscar-nominated star said she struggled to differentiate between dreams and reality and found her dreamlike states “scary”, reports contactmusic.com.
“I guess you’d call them night hallucinations. I’ve often found myself sleepwalking and waking up in halls of hotels. If someone saw me, they would think I was awake, but I am seeing something else and I am communicating with it, whether it is a person or where I see something as obscure as a bird’s nest or bugs. And, one time, there a deep freeze in my room,” she said.
“It feels real to me and it is incredibly vivid. Luckily, it is happening less as I get older, because when I was a kid it was scary.”
“It created a lot of existential dilemma, because you start having these questions, like, ‘Is this person really perceiving me?’ Nobody can ever say anything to me to convince me they really exist, because who knows? It has never fully gone away, although, luckily, I can’t recall when last it happened,” she added.
