Is it possible to remain conscious, but frozen during an absence seizure?
by definition, "no". I guess.
are you sure you're conscious the entire time?
I've had a few incidents where I'll start having a tunnel vision type of thing begin, and have an acute awareness that I've been making a mouth noise for a little bit (the most recent one I recall it was a sortof "AAHB AAHB AAHB" noise accompanied by my hands doing something rolling, repetitive).
but the awareness seemed like the last thing before freefalling away from it
(I'm using the term freefalling because of a possible explanation of myoclonic tics as the brain responding to a feeling of freefalling I read yesterday, but it seems like an adequate description... but freefalling backwards 'into' myself).
for me it has been like drifting into a daydream, but not being able to snap out of it, and then drifting to the point it becomes somewhat frightening
the few I've had of these over the past year and they've all occurred while I've been alone, so really I'm not sure how long this period lasted, or if it developed into something else, but it seemed pretty brief, like 2-3 minutes maybe, overall. But really I'm not exactly sure, because I'd had another T-C seizure within the past few months where I guess my "aura" was along these same lines, but it developed into a T-C seizure my mom said. I was in the car with her at that time.
when I get those seizures though I tend to sortof enjoy them because they seem like a mid-way point between "this" world and "that" world without going all of the way "there".
