The other night, I woke up and thought I was dying. I thought my heart was stopping. I started to see stars shooting around my ceiling. I was really really afraid, but I didn't know why. I guess I fell asleep again, but I woke up later and my body was slightly twisted up, my head was dangling over the side of my bed, and I couldn't move at all. I tried to scream for help, but it was really hard to make noise come out of my mouth. At one point, I thought I could hear my brother and dad coming for help. I heard footsteps and talking downstairs, but no one came to help me. I've never been so afraid in my life. I remember thinking to myself "I wonder why I'm supposed to die right now. This seems odd." What was this "episode"? Was it a night terror? Why couldn't I move or call out for help? I know a lot of you will think it was just a nightmare, but I'm 95% sure I was actually awake.
