In reply to I had a TERROR night terror read please, posted by rjlockhart on February 6, 2006, at 21:42:41
Ive been there,i think actualy what happened is not as complex as you think,.....you were half awake amidst a nightmare,so you feel you literally cant move,or talk.
I remember this happening on two occasions,the first in the day and i tried to knock on the wall to get someones attention.
The second and to date last was more creepy,i awoke in the middle of the night,or so i thought and i hearda voice,i wanted to turn around to confront this voice for some reason very badly,i was scared having my back to it,but i could not move,i was about to freak out,then i somehow pulled logic from my a- and said im dreaming,so like u do with a foot thats asleep,i layed calm for a minute or so and brought myself out of the dream,when i turned around a relaized i either have a demon in my room and im possesed,or i wa in a dream,,honestly either truth really brings any sunshine.
During a recent sleep study this is what i was told,and since they believed it might be due to medication,PERHAPS it may hold true for some other people,.........
My sleep tech told me "Well your sleep is fine,we can tell your on a benzo,thats first,but again he said that is fine,second they said they seen NUMEROUS times where my brain actualy awakens as my body sleeps.This would explain a lot and explain our little thread here"
Perhaps your brain was in the middle of a sleep/wake state.........but ur body was totaly asleep.
Either way unless u start noticing more clearer psyhotic features like voice in the middle of the day,images in the middle of the day,and stuff like this,i would not worry about weird stuff happening in ur sleep.
First you are on medication which greatly disrupts sleep,second your in clinical depression which probuably is active in a sleep state too,hence nightmares,insomnia,early wakenings and a mess of other crapppy sleep problems.
