      Night Terror VERY Scary

      Hi I'm new here and this is my new post thread, i learned about Lucid dreaming when vsauce mentioned it last year. Ever since i have been wanting to have a lucid dream for a long time and only had one so far, a very short one. I think this is the best place to share my experience cause this site seems very friendly. Now I had what i could best describe is a Night Terror a couple of days ago. I go to bed at a regular time around 9:45 to 10:00. I go to bed like every other day with lucid dreaming on my mind right before i go to sleep. Now then i think i wake up late at night, I open my eyes to a very dark room. Then I have a have an immediate terror deep in my core. Without any control of my body, i throw off my covers like a mad man then run for my life, open my door and run down my stairs. I am soo terrified that for me to type this is making me shake. Thankfully my father woke of from the sheer noise i made running out of my room. He asked me what i was doing, but i had no clue what i was doing, i was so bewildered that i was stumbling over my words. He told me to calm down and get a drink of water. So i did and shaking and sweating like crazy. Then I started to cry like a little girl in front of my dad. My dad thought nothing of it and sent me back to bed. By the way i am 17 years old and to cry like a little girl is embarrassing. I went back to bed and to my surprise i t was only 11:00 pm and i fell asleep @ 10:00 pm. I thought it was strange that i had only been asleep of only an hour. When i woke up in the morning i had doubted myself that it had happened at all. So i went downstairs and found my glass of water to calm myself down last night. This is the second time i have ever had a Night Terror, the last was when i was young and actually remember the nightmare to this day. So my question is why did i have a Night Terror when i am 17 years old, i thought it was only supposed to happen when your young. Another is me wanting to become lucid and thinking about becoming lucid every day caused me to have a Night Terror so abruptly.

      Actually, it's pretty common for people to have regular night terrors as a child, and then in their teens they get it 1-3 more times.

      That's actually what happened to me, and what sparked my interest in dreaming. I'm pretty sure most night terrors are just cognitive dissonance, two opposing ideas that occupy the same space.

      Check out this thread for some great descriptions of night terrors.
