Ok, that's weird. I get this too. (Or used to.) Much more often long ago. Definitely the first time was with a fever when I was about seven with hallucinations from my mom giving me too much opiate-based medicine. They used to pass out Paragoric like it was candy in the 60s.
But anyway, I do confirm that there is a sense of deep dread and almost primal fear and nausea and a sensation that I am like a huge thing balanced on something extremely fragile like the head of a pin standing vertically. Or that my arms are tiny and razor-thin but the rest of me is large. The most common manifestation with me is that I am a whale eating tiny tiny articles of food. It isn't an actual visual problem like described in the Wikipedia article, but a mental perception. Very often when falling asleep.
I thought I was the only one.
