Hi! I get this too! Feel free to message me any timeHey there! I am also going through this after a few months of intense health anxiety. I haven't found a concrete answer but I've met many others online who experience this.
Best I can tell, DPDR alters the function of some parts of the brain, causing overactive alpha wave production. This is important, because alpha waves are produced when we dream! So, essentially, DPDR causes our brains to produce some mild dreamlike feelings while we are awake. This could be triggered by any random thing we see and will pull out these eerily nostalgic feelings, same as what happens we we dream.
Hope this helps!
Constant flashbacks to dreams... freaking out...

Im getting these ALL THE TIME... cant take it anymore... It feel like im IN the flashbacks more than reality... Its like every 10 minutes sometimes... sometimes I get about an hour of rest... with just "normal" DP and DR... and then it starts again

Im suspecting that my Paxil is worsening the situation, but I need the antidepressant because I got major depression on the side, and my anxiety goes crazy without the pills, and I can barely leave my bed.

But I cant take these flashbacks. all the time... Im totally spaced out when I get them... and I can only sit and wait until they pass. And they make me cry a lot.
I dont know what to do. I feel like its totally hopeless...
