What was I thinking?
Last night I woke up yelling and throwing punches in bed. It was the most startling awakening I’ve had in a very long time. Looking around in the glow of nightlights I had this overwhelming sense of anxiety, anger, frustration, and a deep sense of self preservation but the kicker is I had no idea what I was dreaming.
None. I was asleep. Then I was awake adrenaline coursing through my body.
Then I laid back down and almost immediately went back to sleep. I didn’t even have time to contemplate what it might have been about before I went unconscious again. All I know is this morning I remember that I woke up that way at least once in the night.
I awoke at other times in the night - around 3 and 4am - but never like before.
Weird. I wonder. I just got back to class and am going to bed early.
Curiosity has gotten the better of me. That and I’m really tired. 8^)
UPDATE: I meant to ask this but forgot because of the tired. Has anyone else had an experience like this? Do you remember what the dream was about? Has it happened often?
I use to be really into studying dream stuff and the “night terror” experience was a fasinating subject. I think that’s what this was.
