Night Terror Sufferers........... What are your night terrors like?!
Question: Night Terror Sufferers........... What are your night terrors like.?
I have suffered from night terrors since I was a young child. I'm now 28, and I have about 3-4 a month (that I remember). My boyfriend says that I have way more than that, but I just don't always wake up from them.
When I do wake up, its the SCARIEST thing I've ever experienced. My heart rate is so high, and I often wake up to the sound of me screaming. My eyes are open, and I can see things in my room that aren't there. Even after I wake from them, turn on the light, and take a few breaths, I'm still so confused and think that what I saw was real. It takes me a really long time to calm down from them and realize that its not real.
The things that I hallucinate are always different, but no matter what it is, they're ALWAYS terrifying. Here are some of the things that I've seen in my night terrors:
* The most common is just an evil person. This could be an evil large man, or perhaps just an evil child. Either way its scary
* Sometimes I see just this ball of energy. I know that sounds weird to explain, but that's the best way I can say it. Its like this ball of different coloured particles that moves around like a ghost. Freaky - haha
* I have had the traditional night terrors about giant spiders, or snakes. These aren't so common though. Although one time I tried to run away from these spiders coming down from the ceiling, and i actually ran into a corner of a desk and had a super big bruise.
* After watching the movie trainspotting (you know the one where the baby crawls down the wall), I had a night terror about a turtle crawling down the wall in the same scary way. Don't ask me why a turtle
* Perhaps the scariest one I had was one where I looked to the side of my bed, and I saw myself curled up in a ball staring at me in a super scary way. That one freaked me out!
What are some of your scary night terror stories.? What do you see.? What are yours like.? Please share, I'm curious to know.

Answers:
I had night terrors when i was young. I woke up and i though i could see this monster thing. It was bald and it has a slit or a nose and angry eyes with sharp teeth.
Have you ever seent he descent. if you have that is the creatures i saw. and they would be rising from a pool of blood.
when i woke up i thought i could see them and i heard creeking floorboards like they were coming for me.
I turned on the light and i was still scared often i would be away till 6am and then i would have to go to school. I would dread each night. as i had them dreams for 2 weeks straight. i was so tired.
So i feel for you.
I'd advice you to sleep with the light on. So when you wake up you cant see things you think you can in the dark.
Good Luck.
