Jolting Awake!
I had this happen 3 times today when I was trying to nap. I would be dozing off to sleep one second and the next, all my muscles would jolt or jump and I would be wide awake, eyes just about popping out of their sockets! I had the feeling I dreamed something awful, or started to, and this reaction was to get away from it, whatever it was.
Now I don't feel like going to sleep tonight either, because this is a very disturbing feeling, as if someone has stuck a gun on me somewhere and said, "Stick 'em up!" like they used to do in the movies and when we were kids, just for fun too. But this feeling is no joke. It causes some kind of terror.
Has this ever happened to you?
