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?
i kinda have had that hapopen, though not as bad. for instance sometimes my little rat terrier comes in and jumps on me when im asleep and sleeps on my stomach, and one night he did that, well i was having a dream that i was gonna get in a fight with my little bro, cuz he was pissing me off bad, and i got so pissed i woke up and the first thing i realized was that my hand was in a fist and i was fucking hitting my dog, who was yelpin and shit.
i wonder how many times i hit the poor bastard??? good thing rat-tards can take all kinds of abuse and still be ok.
