Hi Everyone,

QUESTION ONE:

I'm a 19 year old male and I have, for many years now, had scarily vivid and terrifying nightmares that do not end when they wake me up. What I mean is that, when I am woken up by one of the nightmares, I open my eyes and can still vividly see the things/people I was dreaming about moving around my room for varying amounts of time (anywhere from a second or two, up to nearly a minute on one occasion). Sometimes they even appear to be still be coming at me.
-Has anyone ever heard of this? If so, what is it called?
-Can anything be done about this?

QUESTION TWO:

Sometimes I have dreams where I am plummeting rapidly through complete darkness until I finally reach some type of ground which i promptly hit, and wake up at the exact moment. But when I wake up I feel a "sensation" similar to that of an icy-wind flowing through my entire body for a few seconds. Additionally, when I wake up my entire body is trembling/shaking somewhat violently.
-Has anyone hear of this? What is it called?
-Can anything be done about this?
-Should I seek some type of medical attention?

Thank You For Your Help,
