Night Terrors

[SlaughterShy]

So, last night I was sleeping n dreaming pretty regularly. However, I remember waking up and seeing a HUGE yellow, furry spider crawling on my bed towards me. Naturally, I went into lizard brain mode and noped the heck out of my bed and bolted into the hallway, where my dad was like "wtf" because I screamed bloody murder three times before running out of my room. After exiting my room, I was apparently very disoriented and stood in the kitchen for a few minutes to regain my sanity and reverting out of lizard brain mode. I went back to bad after examining my room and making sure that there wasn't any spider; it was pretty obvious that it was all a figment of my imagination by then, but it was a terrifying experience. I don't remember much of anything except seeing a huge spider in my bed and running out of my room... According to my research, I think I experienced a night terror.

Has anyone ever experienced one of these before? I'm really concerned that it's gonna happen again and I wanna know if there's anything I can do to prevent this from happening; it's especially strange because I'm sixteen and this stuff usually happens to little kids. I've never experienced anything like this before and it was a truly terrifying experience .

I think I had one of those once but it was so long ago I don't even remember the dream. I just woke up like at 3 A.M and started sobbing. Like full on " my parents just got murdered " kinda crying. I was so confused but I couldn't stop! It took a while to calm down.... I'm kinda glad I don't remember what caused that. It was terrifying

There was this one time I was in the Philippines on a holiday and visiting relatives etc, and I was about 8 or 9 years old or something at the time. Anyway, my older cousin used to tell me scary stories about mythical creatures at night, and basically there was one which was like a vampire that would detach itself from its legs and it would kill people and such. I can't really recall but she also mentioned that waking up at exactly 3am meant you were gonna die or something along the lines of it.

So, a few nights later, I woke up in the middle of the night, checked my watch, and it just happened to be 3am. I was like sort of anxious and when I looked up at the window (the shutters were semi-transparent), I saw a large figure of what seemed to be the 'top half' of the vampire or whatever, and I absolutely lost my sh** and started screaming and woke up all my cousins and yeah basically that was it. Still scares me today though every time I go back and visit.

I watched a jar of pickles come to life. It reminded me of sausage party but instead of sausages, it was pickles...

I've had two in my entire life.


1. Involved a huge black spider with red eyes strangling and wrapping me in a web on my bed, it was on the top bunk and then it came down to give me those suffocating hugs of death. I woke up and had a panic attack and didn't go to sleep for the whole night. I was sleeping with my mum because it was cold and we were watching a film, which was lucky because I really needed reassurance from somebody who knew how I work with feelings and actions.

2. I had a dream about the Titanic, then I "woke up" to find the Titanic heading straight towards me killing me and my family, then I actually woke up which led to a panic attack. This was at 5:30am in the morning, I hope I don't get one ever again but I will.

Truly terrifying.


Wasn't fun.

I get these a lot, ranging from crying due to everything i care about dying to dreaming about Shrek spanking me to death and woke up with Shrek sitting on my bed (I was 8, give me a break). Nowadays, when these things happen, i just react with like "Whatever" and go back to bed.
