Hi. Well a while ago I started getting this creepy night terrors, maybe a year ago. They are very scary and I would very much like some advice on what they might be/mean or what to do. My friends say it's normal but we're 14 so how are we supposed to know?
Well I'll give an example. Let's say I had a dream (a VERY short one) that I was falling down stairs (or falling off/down something). I wake up with my heart pounding and a feeling of falling that can last anywhere from a couple seconds to a minute or a little over. The weirdest part, though, is that when I wake up (maybe not so weird) is that I sort of jerk to the side and throw my arm in front of me as if to try to protect myself as if I was actually falling.
But the dreams/occurences (night terrors) aren't the freakiest part. The part that scares me is the fact that I have these 'night terrors' almost every month, like clockwork. Always around the 20th. It's starting to really freak me out and I don't know what to do! Please help, I'm not sure if this is something normal or just something meaningful, but please tell me because I just don't know anymore.
