I found it causes an identical fragment of psychosis every time, and while the dream attached to it is always changing, the sequence of events is exactly the same:

1) At first I have trouble falling asleep, I feel like the center of my head is made out of concrete.
2) I feel a throbbing in the center of my head, like a skeletal muscle twitch that soon sends a sensation to the lungs that gets me tired.
3) I fall into deep sleep for exactly 30 minutes.
4) I go back in REM sleep and experience a dream while in psychosis.
5) I feel something isn't right about the objects around me in that dream and feel an urge to set them right...like I need to do something and make sense out of it.
6) When I succeed, I realize the objects were quite simple, like chairs next to a table, and begin to wonder why that didn't make sense in the first place?! It felt like I saw a char and a table for the first time and didn't know what the heck they were until psychosis was over.
7) I can't remember the dream, only that something didn't make sense, and that I was attracted to solve that "puzzle" and "get it right".
8) After I wake up I can't fall asleep again for 12 hours.

Can someone confirm if this event includes actual deep sleep that replenishes the brain, or just REM?

I'm not a specialist, but I'm thinking it's rebound REM. What makes you think that you're getting 30 minutes of deep sleep before your REM sleep?
