Discussion: Choking Nightmare

Lautner_90

So it's 3:54 am currently in New York and I have just awoken from a bad nightmare in which I thought I was choking 10 minutes ago. I have to wake up in less than 4 hours but can't fall asleep. I don't know why I get these from time to time but I used to wear retainers after I got a braces off for a year and still do from time to time. The retainers used to come off at night and would cause the same scary choking feeling. As soon as I woke up from this recent episode I once again checked around my room to see if I swallowed anything while asleep. It was embarrassing as I ran crazy to the kitchen to get some what and my sister boyfriend was there.

Maybe this belongs in a blog but hey do you girls get this nightmare too? Is it nerves, or fear of something else

I actually used to have nightmares as a kid. Usually when I slept in a strange environment. Horror movies are great initiators of nightmares as well. Some nightmares induced me even small panic attacks.

Now, well I usually dont remember dreams at all.

I'm not a kid anymore and did not watch any horror movies anytime recently lol.

I don't remember the dreams, it's just I wake up feeling as if I'm choking on something. I usually run panicked out my room clenching my throat and second thing I so is check whether I could have swallowed some small item in my room.

I remember waking up a few months ago feeling as if I was just being choked. Scary part is, my hands were wrapped tightly around my neck as if I was strangling myself

I just went back to sleep after I awoke because I was too tired to care but the next morning I was like wow...

Oh I thought you wanted general discussion about nightmares as well.

Maybe its not just dreams but something physica as well ? Sleep apnea ? I wouldnt underrate this problem.

Sometimes I dream my death in various circumstances, but the dream always stops before I die because you can't dream you die I guess.
