Every so often when I wake up, I have a very extreme and usually irrational fear that something bad will happen which will either hurt me or even kill me. Like once I thought the ceiling light was going to fall on my head and kill me if I walked under it. Another time, I thought I saw someone being pulled into the ceiling and was afraid the ceiling would collapse and hurt me. Other times I feel like I'm going to die. Sometimes I fall back to sleep and then wake up again fine and other times the fear wears off after a couple minutes. I don't think these are night terrors since I remember them clearly happening and I hear usually you don't remember night terrors. Not sure what these experiences are or if they are night terrors but I'm actually remembering them? Confused.
