Had my first night terrors last night. Here's hoping it doesn't become a regular thing because it scared the bejesus out of me.

I have severe panic disorder, and let me tell you, yes. Night terrors are normal!
they are scary, and the screaming in your sleep and you can't wake up is called Sleep paralysis. Its perfectly normal with anxeity. And no, sleep paralysis cannot hurt you in any way.
I take a 2 and 1/2 mg valium tablet before bed and it knocks me out, with no dreams. :)

Hi there :), I usually have vivid dreams too. They feel so real and are mostly the same as my intrusive thoughts in the day. I wake up and feel like I've been through a panic attack in my dreams. I suffer from ocd and gad too.
