Panic Mind scattering panic The confusion The fear Throat clenching fear The glazed eyes The tears The drenched sheets The constant shivers The dark The shadows come to life The hand clenching your chest The heart trying to escape its cage The clawing at invisible bindings The suffocating The weight on your chest The gasping for air The amnesia What has you so scared
This is just my experience with night terrors. I never remember the actual dream but my body seems to.
