My night terrors started at about the age of 10 or 11. I've always had a relatively active imagination and my dreamscapes are incredible.
However every once and and while I'll get a night terror that will terrify my wakeful moments for example:
I was sleeping at a Ramada Inn around Mobile, AL. I'll never forget the dream because I was looking at the dressing mirror and screaming because I saw mounds of dead bodies piled up. I would turn around and all I would see is red.
My screaming and phrasing were so loud that security and the cops were called. There they were breaking into a room to see a naked man crying on the ground...but totally out of reality.
When I woke up I flipped out even more because the police were there and I was still thinking of the dream. I knew for sure I was going to jail that night for murdering thousands of people.
But it was just a brutal night terror.
So no, sister you aren't. I do not take meds, no traumatic experiences, nothing out of the ordinary.
Peace!
