Greetings fellow mortals!
As you guys know, I am awesome. But even awesome people like me go through strange experiences!
Last night, I had a really hard time sleeping. I was having constant nightmares. However, these nightmares were more like night terrors. I experienced them about 3 to 5 minutes after falling asleep. My girlfriend described it to me. My leg and arms muscles start twitching. One at a time first. Then they start twitching more frequently and more, and my breaths become short and heavy. And then I wake up full of fear and heavily breathing until I calm down. About 6 or 7 times. If my girlfriend woke me up before waking up myself, I would not experience fear after waking up. It would kind of interrupt the dream-thing.
As for the content of the nightmares, I cannot remember a thing. In fact, I only remember waking up due to this about 3 or 4 times, not the 7 or 6 my girlfriend mentions. I also had some muscle pain after waking up. I guess that comes from the movements and frequent twitching. I had cramp-like pains at some point. I felt physically and mentally exhausted after waking up. And this morning I wasn't really well-rested.
What could this be? It can hardly be nightmares, as I didn't sleep long enough to enter R.E.M. phase, and they weren't night terrors because I was asleep, I didn't feel fear during the event only after, and finally I can't remember a thing.
I hope it doesn't happen again tonight. I don't want to keep myself and my girlfriend from sleeping at night.
Best regards!
Sean.
