That moment when something awful is happening, whether it is someone dying, a bit of violence or just plain ole' scary imagery. Suddenly, the man/woman sits straight up in bed, sweating and panting, sometimes with an 'AH!' or other squeal as they slowly realize that they are not in danger, but have been dreaming.
Who does that? Seriously, I want to know. Being afraid of nothing means that when I have 'nightmares' I can usually turn them around and make them what I want them to be. I'm great at lucid dreaming, lucid meaning I know I'm dreaming and can control them, so would-be killers, spooky stuff, falling, whatever the 'horror' I can handle it. I've opened my eyes wide before after a dream, but never, and I mean NEVER have I sat straight up with an exclamation as I slowly realize I'm in no danger. So who does?
As for me, the ONLY time I've been startled awake (no jumping up or exclaiming, just wide awake in a second) is that I could swear I looked at my window and men were climbing through it. That's it. The second my eyes opened and I saw the window was shut and locked, it was over so... yeah. Let's hear them - I'm curious to see what would make a REAL person do this kind of thing.
