I wake up during the night a lot and feel like someone is?

Question

trying to harm me in a sense, or I am somewhat afraid. Like that someone is sneaking up on me or something like that. What does that mean? I have done it for a long long time. It's like I wake up sort of mad that someone is trying to bother me, or maybe I should say I feel emotionally that I am needing to defend myself???

Answer 1

I used to have a reoccurring dream about being stalked through my house by someone who wanted to kill me and would find me hiding in a closet. When I told my husband about it,he reminded me that we keep a loaded gun in the closet.  I never had that dream again. Good Luck!

I think this is something you will grow out of. You will realize that the problem is just you brain doing tricks, and then you just let it go.

Waking up feeling really terrified is something different. It is called a panic attack. It happens to normal people on rare ocassions. You should see a counselor if this more frightening event happens often.
