What does rapid eye movement when awake mean? Usually Rapid Eye movement or REM is associated with the period of time when a person dreams. My eyes seem to be darting back and forth very rapidly, I have a
fever, chills,
headache that is killing me and feels like a major migraine and I'm so so tired. Also, I'm having trouble breathing some and my chest is hurting. I also have
asthma and
bipolar disorder, which is why I'm posting this in the psychiatry forum- the
bipolar. I'm going to the doctor tomorrow, I'll probably just ask then. I was just wondering if anyone had any ideas or had ever experieced the same thing.
