Now I know when you're asleep and dreaming your grip on reality can be somewhat scewed, but to what degree? The reason I'm asking is this:

Ever since I was a kid, I would have these night terrors where I'd be screaming bloody murder in my sleep so loud that I often had my parents running downstairs thinking something happened. one night (when I was 18, I'm 20 now) I actually dreamt I was fighting someone and was yelling really loud and kicked my steryo system right off my wall, destroying it. my mom rushed downstairs and said she thought I was fighting someone that broke into the house.

now, it gets worse. In the past few months I've been actually waking up at 4:00 in the morning (or so) and mixing up dreams with reality. probably about 4 nights a week I've been waking up thinking somebody's in my room, sometimes even seeing them because my brain mixes up what I'm dreaming and what I'm seeing. so of course, I'd yell like hell and scramble to get my lights on, to find nobody.

Then, in the past couple weeks when I wake up in the middle of the night, even though the lights are off, I've been thinking one of 2 things. either I see a GIANT spider on in my room (I'm terrified of spiders,), like ones big enough to eat a rat, or a person in my room. as usual, turn on the light, all's well. But, in the past couple weeks I've also been thinking I'm in a totally different and unfamiliar room, though it's the same room every time.

Last night, however, really topped my list and made me worry. at about 5:00 this morning I woke up sure that somebody was in my room. So I turned on my light, but that didn't get rid of them! I never actually saw the person, but mixing up dreams with reality, I didn't have to, I just percieved him as being right there in front of me even though I didn't see a thing. I knew this guy was a threat, so I jumped on him, wrapped my quilt around him, and spent about 5 minutes beating the living shit out of the intruder wrapped in my blanket, and that's all I remember. when I woke up the next morning I was sleeping under a different blanket and there was a pillow beside my bed wrapped up in my quilt, obviously the "intruder". so unless a pillow broke into my house to kill me, this is kinda worrysome.

what do you think?
Know any psychiatrists?
That's really weird that, that you beat the shit out of a wrapped up pillow in your sleep, sleep fighting maybe?
There doesn't seem to be anything you can do.. it sounds really weird and would freak me the fuck out to the point of getting rid of all guns and knives in the house in case like i woke up when my mum came in and i did her some damage lol
