The night terrors are traumatizing. I wake up feeling like I have been fully victimized and traumatized. I know I PTSD but I feel like the night terrors have contributed to this as well. I physically assaulted my mother a number of times while having night terror. Have woke up with bruises and damaged knuckles from hitting walls and the bed frame. I'm a real treat to sleep with. It's not as frequent now that I am older but it still happens.

Yeah the fear of going back to the dream is awful, and usually I do go right back to where it left off. Sometimes I can start the dream over but it always ends the same. I still sleep with lights on and tv on, although I make sure the tv is set to the children's channel so that nothing weird comes on when I'm sleeping an sends me any weird msgs. Haha paranoid yes. My bf has to deal with my lovely sleep habits.

I won't go into detail because it seems all my dreams are horrific. The plain bizarre only happens once in a while. This morning before waking I was dreaming I had moss and other plant like substances growing out of my abdomen. I tried and tried to get help but people just looked at me like I was contagious, my bf came over looked at the messy stomach and said " interesting, that's what your made of, too bad because I'll have to report you". That was a better dream for me. I am having stomach pain right now, so I'm guessing this is my way of worrying about it.

I envy normal dreamers, I wish I could experience a happy dream.
