Yep had a corker last night. My night terrors tend to be the room that I am sleeping in. ie it matches real life (where I am, position etc) except for a dream element. This morning's one was a woman - I think with short hair - who came and sat on the end of our bed. She was wearing a nightie. I freaked out, sat bolt upright, then managed to punch the wife in the head.
It wasn't like I turned to her and flecked her with spittle screaming 'YOU'RE DROPPED, SHORTY HAIR NIGHTY WOMAN'S MINE NOW' then smacked her one. No, it was more me flailing as I sat upright.
Needless to say TW was not impressed. She was woken from sleep by a blow to the noggin. She yelled.
At that point I'd worked out it was a dream and tried to calm her. She spent the next five minutes interrupting my sleepy back to nod drifting with slow moans of shocked pain. Fair call.
I wonder why I do this? And who the hell was that woman?

My night terrors are usually me drowning.
NTs suck the big one. I feel for you (and TheWife!)
The closest thing I have to a night terror is this re-occuring dream I have while not in REM sleep. Either I'm on the edge of a cliff, or walking on the fence or railway line and I compensate to keep balance which causes me to jerk/jump while in bed.
I had a mate who had a proper dream that was similar to yours. He was dreaming he was in a fight, and he threw a full-on punch which in real life ended up as a full-on punch right into his fiance's face. Engagement ring and all.
Suffice to say, he was saying sorry for quite a while.
Drowning! That sucks!
Yeah ... I am super sorry about clocking thewife one in sleep mode. These stupid dreams get so vivid. I am always convinced someone is breaking into the house and get up 2-3 times a night sometimes to check.
