Night Terrors

Re: Night Terrors

Even while not conscious, your body often picks up on things going on in reality that you're unaware of, so it's not uncommon to have some of those things incorporated into your dream.

For example I've had dreams in which I hear people who are actually talking in reality, but I think they're saying those things in my dream. If you go to bed really hungry or thirsty, or needing to go to the bathroom, you may have a dream involving a search for these things (and never finding them, in my case XD ).

i dont think its really possible to have an "out of body experience" if your mind/soul/whatever....wasnt with you, you couldnt be dreaming...frankly, i dont see how you could even be living, your body is your body...it cant "separate" in any way....thats just my thoughts

Re: Night Terrors

Not sure if this relates to this topic but i'm still kinda confused on your guys posts.

I woke up once from a nightmare with my fingures bleeding and sharp chest pains, and the nightmare had to do with my hand and getting hit in the chest. Would that count?

1, 2, freddy's coming for you

3, 4, better lock your door

5, 6, he's got a crucifix

7, 8, gotta stay up late

9, 10, freddy's killed again

Re: Night Terrors

The worst night terror I ever had was basically just like Resident Evil 2, except that when I "woke up" and went to the kitchen, Pyramid head was just outside my door and as soon as I left my room he killed me in a horrific manner.

Then I woke up for real and didn't dare move for 10 minutes because the dream was so vivid.

I don't think it was that I thought that Pyramid head was still out there, but was just the sense of being absolutley terrified beyond reason that kept me from getting up. Granted this was a few years back.

Re: Night Terrors

I'm surprised no one's mentioned sleep paralysis. That's what some of you seem to be describing. It's the thing neptuneshalo talked about, which is a process your body goes through every night to keep your muscles relaxed while sleeping. The problem arises if you happen to regain consciousness somehow and your body remains paralyzed...

I was thinking the same thing when I read the first post. I know very little, but I saw something about it once. I've had a few times where I was somewhere between asleep and awake (I was just waking up or just falling asleep) and I couldn't move right away. A couple of times that it happened, it happened more than once as I was drifting in and out of sleep. I'd wake up and try to move but all I could do was wiggle my pinky finger. The worst ones were where I was in a position where it was a little hard to breathe but I couldn't move to another position. Luckily it was only about 10 or 20 seconds, but it's still very unpleasant.

Re: Night Terrors

Once, when i was really little, like three, I dreamnt of seeing a dog in the park and it started to bark at me. That was all my dream was. Then, throughout my childhood, almost whenever I would dream or have a nightmare, near the end I would hear the dog barking, and all of a sudden, while still in my dream, I knew I was dreaming. And I knew that I had to wake up from me dream, or some sort of beast would take me. So I would dream, hear a dog bark, and then try to wake up from my dream. Somethimes I could wake up, but a few times the beast caught up to me, and it was the scariest thing ever.
To actually know I was stuck in a dream was really scary. I don't know if that's a type of night terror.

Re: Night Terrors

2) Unlike nightmares, when you wake up, everything's a blank; you remember VERY little to no events that went on in a night terror.

They're nightmares.
