Sleep

[Phil10]

I had a dream I believe it was this morning I felt I couldn’t wake from it like I felt myself trying to wake up from the nightmare but couldn’t was it sleep paralysis? I read anxiety can cause it.

Just before we wake in the morning or just as we are going to sleep we can have lucid dreams. They seem so real. Like it is happening to you. But you are part awake and part asleep. Can frighten some people. Because of how real the dream might feel. But they are harmless.

I've always believed that dreams and nightmares are harmless. Hence, when I have a nightmare, it doesn't freak me out by the time I've woken up.

I do not know because i have had sleep paralysis before. I did not feel anxious at the time. I think sleep paralysis occurs when we do not get enough sleep or the mind demands the body to rest.

Has anybody ever had a panic attack start from when they almost all asleep and jerk up quickly? Often I wake up and panic and think I can’t breathe? I think maybe as it’s you are often unaware of breathing when sleeping? I had a scare this morning almost dosed off and jumped up quickly? What would cause this?

Lot of people begin to dose off and wake with a start. That is normal. Have done it myself before. Jumped back up. I would not class it as a panic attack. More just dosing off and jerking away with a start.
