post-hypnopompic psychic openings --advice needed

I'm posting in this forum rather than the health forum because i don't want to get into an argument about the scientific validity of energy centers. I'm just looking for anyone's advice and thoughts on this, especially from anyone familiar with energy work. For years now i've had a "problem" of over-activity in my chakras under certain conditions. This will happen consistently whenever i go to sleep early in the evening and wake up a few hours later. You see, my body tends naturally toward a sleep cycle that makes me really tired every day around 6-7pm. I'm always ready for a nap at that time. So on some days i'll go to sleep at that time, thinking i'll sleep right through the night and wake up early. But whenever i sleep at that time i can only stay asleep for about 3 hours max. At that point i'm forced awake by intense activity in my solar plexus, heart, and crown chakras.
It's really hard to describe what happens then, but it's like when you're tripping and you have intensified feelings and thought-loops. This is what happens to me, and it keeps me in a half-asleep, half-awake zombie-like state lying in bed. It usually drives me crazy so i'll just get up out of bed to avoid feeling insane from the thought-loops. Now, I believe this is related to melatonin release because when if i take melatonin orally before sleeping (no matter what time i go to bed) it'll increase ten-fold. However, that's kind of beside the point. The point is, after i wake up from one of these naps, i'm overcome with intense feelings, especially depression. It's like my feeling center is ripped open. My sense of empathy is also very intense, making me feel things that i would never normally feel while awake and sober. It seems like either my solar plexus or heart chakra is not flowing right.
The problem i'm really concerned about here is the intense depression. That's the strongest feeling i have when waking up, but only at night like this. When i sleep through the night and wake in the morning, i feel fine. However, i'm not much of a feeling person so in general i don't feel anything at all as i go about my day. For example i have no sense of inspiration whatsoever even though i used to, because i can remember it, and i haven't had romantic "in love" feelings for the opposite sex in something like ten years. It's just like impossible for me to feel these things. So i think my chakras are a bit dysfunctional. I seem to have an energy blockage which is keeping me from normally having feelings like most people do, and the bottled up energy is pouring out at night following intense REM sleep.
Now, what the hell can i do about this if anything? I would like to know some methods for getting my energy flowing right, especially to clear out any subconscious emotional blockage i may have. Advice, thoughts?

well I can kind of relate... for me it's about the third eye, feeling like my ego is fading fast and what is left of me is going into somoene else's mind...... that the third eye will open any second.
very disorienting and intense. doesn't happen too much though but if it does it's because i randomly wake up in the night feeling that way.
i mean yoga, tai chi, things like that are good for opening blockages. so is drinking tons of water.... and deep breathing exercises.
me....... i deep breathed into my solar plexues to try to enter a lucid sleep just now... i got 2 hours of trancelike sleeping, always aware of breath but going in and out of sleep states.... and now i'm wide awake at 3 a.m.
urghhh
probably it's the fault of the IC Caramel drink I got though..... but I thought I drank it early enough to not adversely impact my sleep... I guess I was wrong.
-------------------- I am the MacDaddy of Heimlich County, I play it Straight Up Yo! ....I embrace my desire to feel the rhythm, to feel connected enough to step aside and weep like a widow, to feel inspired, to fathom the power, to witness the beauty, to bathe in the fountain, to swing on the spiral of our divinity and still be a human...... Om Namah Shivaya, I tell you What!

Hmmm...Let me just say that I am no practicionar of chakra energy or of that knowledge, but perhaps my addition of practical suggetions might be of use to you for dealing with and rectifying this strange occurance.
- Perhaps you might be inducing this by mis-using your suplementation cycle. I dont know this either, you will have to research more into side-effects and possible cross tolerant effects for melatonin and such.
-If your getting intense depression, then you need to start getting mental control of it to some degree. Allow yourself to be on your gaurd for this state of mind while waking and defend against it rationally and with encouraging moto's.
-As much as I'd love to give you a clear answer for why this is happening and how to overcome it, I can't..It is a matter for personal experience of which you will most probably have to figure out through practice or research on your own. But, you know this already, and you are the one who most understand the problem.
-You claim you are without emotions and this would worry me also. Is there a possibility that you a defecient in dopamine? It is said that it regulates all other neuronal reward centers in the brain and that those who often don't recieve feelings of reward or joy of accomplishment are like this.
I really hope you find your answers.

It seems like my feelings are boiling under the surface, deep in my subconsious, which is why they come out so strongly after being in REM sleep. The potential to feel is there, but it's like something is malfunctioning and my energy isn't flowing right during my waking hours. Do you guys think an anti-depressant would help me feel more? I don't feel depressed during the day, it's only when i wake up in the middle of the night like this.
I did try 100% diaphragmatic breathing meditation the other day for the first time. It helped a lot to relax me and loosen me up because of the increased oxygenation. I also started laughing out loud spontaneously which led me to believe that i can force my feelings out if the proper physical catalyst is used. Dunno... maybe i'm thinking about this too logically?
