Certaines crises comportent des sentiments d'étrangeté, des automatismes confusionnels et des hallucinations. D'autres crises sont de brèves obnubilations avec des cauchemars atroces.
I can't find the word obnubilation anywhere.

periods of reduced consciouness levels/obnubilation
found this, though there may be a better way to phrase it :)
clouding of consciousness, a lowered level of consciousness (q.v.) with loss of ability to respond properly to external stimuli. See also levels of consciousness, under level. Called also mental fog, obnubilation, and obtundation.

periods of extreme confusion
Others here are on the right track, but I'd try and make sense of the whole description of the various pathological symptoms:
"Some [of these] acute episodes were characterised by strong feelings of alienation, uncontrolled movements and hallucinations. Others were brief periods of extreme mental confusion accompanied by terrible nightmares."
Something like that.
