I get occasional night terrors. What'll happen is that I'll sit up--eyes wide open, thinking...no, knowing that I'm seeing something. Something like a kid, a spider, a guy who's broken into the house, a duck (once), aliens, whatever. I can even remember seeing them after I "come to". It's different from when you wake up and are a little groggy and your eyes play tricks on you with the shadows. No, I feel as if I'm wide awake, can see around the room, but my brain is superimposing these dream images on what my eyes are actually seeing. Scares the **** out of my wife, although she's good at calming me down now. Usually it lasts maybe 10 or 15 seconds. I've broken one lamp (swiping at the aforementioned duck...it was an American Black Duck) but other than that nothing serious. Needless to say--the guns are all locked in the basement safe!
