Anybody else expierience them?
Thinking of setting up a camera at night to have a look at what i get up too.
Girlfriend always says i do random shit, the other night, fast asleep, stood up on the bed shouted fire!
Jumped off my bed ran out into the hall then woke up and walked back to bed and fell asleep (was a bit confused as to why i was in the hallway when i woke up, just presumed id just been to the toilet :lol
Other stuff like sitting bolt upright in the middle of the night and then lying back down a couple minutes later.
Dont know what the cause of it is.

They don't really sound like terrors to me, I always imagined night terrors to be like nightmares but worse.

Don't think its night terrors as such, don't scream or anything like that, just speak alot and move around my room and get up to stuff. Just wondered if anyone else seems to be a bit over active during there sleep.

i got one after playing GTA IV when it first came out.
i remember thinking someone was about to crush my head with part of a steel girder, then i opened my eyes and thought the lampshade was the girder. i couldn't move and screamed the loudest and most shrill i ever have.
my gf just said "go back to sleep, it was just a dream"

I do silly things. I talk about random stuff, like "my phones ringing", and even sometimes, I narrate my dreams and my gf can tell me what my dreams were about when i wake up. Quite spooky really; i once woke up andf the first word I said was "spatula"; i was dreaming about a science experiment.
I once had a fight in my sleep, my ex nearly took a punch

I get night terrors (Which, strangely enough, are linked to diabetes, and i'm diabetic).
I've had one where I thought I was locked in a house, so I was beating the shit out of my wardrobe. When I finally woke up my hear was racing, sweating loads and so on.
Also, woke up and thought a snake was in my bed. Thought a spider was on my brothers face so I got up and smashed him with a pillow.
Last one I can remember, was in America in bed with an ex, thought somebody had broken into the apartment we were staying in and then, for some reason, thought "the person" jumped on me. Needless to say I jumped up and ran out of the room, later thinking it was my Ex and went nuts at her  .
Terrors are bloody weird, you can't really tell dream from reality. For example, when I thought the snake was in my bed I had to strip all of the quilts/sheets from my bed to prove there was no snake there. Horrible things, but interesting also.

I thought a night terror was when you were conscious but essentially paralysed, feeling a massive weight ontop of you wanting to scream but unable to?
Or have I got that wrong

Nightmares occur during the dream phase of sleep known as REM sleep. Most people enter the REM stage of sleep sometime after 90 minutes of sleep. The circumstances of the nightmare will frighten the sleeper, who usually will wake up with a vivid memory of a long movie-like dream. Night terrors, on the other hand, occur during a phase of deep non-REM sleep usually within an hour after the subject goes to bed. This is also known as stage 4. During a night terror, which may last anywhere from five to twenty minutes, the person is still asleep, although the sleepers eyes may be open. When the subject does wake up, they usually have no recollection of the episode other than a sense of fear. This, however, is not always the case. Quite a few people interviewed can remember portions of the night terror, and some remember the whole thing.

Try going to sleep with a nicorete patch on your arm! Never knew a dream could feel so close to reality, and its all relevent, like people you know and places, you just get upto stuff you could only dream about.

Apparently the bloke who designed The Alien (H.R. Giger) suffered from them most of his life. I can imagine that's where most of his fucked-up shit came from
