Q: Night terror swallowing dreams ?

This been happening a lot lately. When something big or stressful happens in my life, when I sleep I dream but in parts of my dream, I think I swallow something, and it feels really real. I feel like something is in my throat or belly. Most of the time I wake up and just think it is weird. But the last 3 times or more, I been trying to throw up these fake items. Like once I really got out of bed and went to the bathroom to throw it up.

Last night I had a random dream and I had a dream I had to hack something up because something weird happen in the dream I don't remember totally, and in my half sleep I coughed on my side of my bed kinda hard, I woke up and I can tell I did and looks like their might have been blood in it*my throat been sore lately* It makes me worry because I don't want to you know throw up randomly if this keeps going on because I think something real is happening.
I hope I make sense...I don't understand it myself.

It sounds like you might be a bit paranoid. Perhaps some anxiety? I would go and talk to a Psychologist about it. Because it always happens during sleep, probably REM, it's probably mental. (not calling you crazy). GOOD LUCK. Smile

It been happening on and off for about less than a year but been getting worse the last 3-4 or so months. Someone said it might be sleep apnoea but I am not sure. My cousin has it but I never been to doctor about anything for years. Last night I woke up at least 2 twice not able to breath or something. I had to get up and drink some water.
I have not had any weird times last since a few days ago where I coughing in my sleep and think something in my throat. I just wake up kinda panicked.

Sleep apnea is a common disorder that can be serious. In sleep apnea, your breathing stops or gets very shallow. It's possible that you are experiencing obstructive sleep apnea...which means you are unable to get enough air through your mouth and nose into your lungs.

There is an American Sleep Apnea Association that outlines HOW TO BE EVALUAED for sleep apnea on this site. Good luck! It's sounds like you are onto something.
