Q: Sudden Awakening With a Shout
asked by: sandeepb on September 17th, 2009

Hi everyone,

I recently have been suffering from a scary problem to do with my sleep.

I go to sleep and suddenly half way through the night I wake up and start shouting/screaming like I'm scared of something I saw, I then run to the door or out the door and calm down within 5 or so seconds. Then after this I just go back to my bed and sleep.

The thing is, I am awake but once I realise I am screaming then I start to calm myself down.

This has happened in two night in the past two weeks, and I'm afraid it will happen again.

I usually sleep talk but it's nothing of a big deal a word every night or something like that but that's it.

I actually want to know where this shouting is going because it actually makes it uncomfortable to sleep.

Thanks Everyone

I don't really want an answer for this I just think I should say something thats happenned to me since I was about 5.
I tend to wake up in the morning and in my dream someones shouted my name, my real name is actually jordan but I wake up and go ' YEAAH ' and realise I've shouted aloud, and I've had a dream and I knw I'm in the dream, I'm being chased and I'm trying to get out the dream, I know I won't be able to feel anything like when you dream you swim and you can breathe, but I run, and I run till I wake up.

sandeepb,

That has happened to me for years. I also suffer from extreme anxiety and have had a life filled with trauma.
