I had a helium balloon in my room. While I was sleeping it drifted over my face, and I half-woke up staring into my own distorted reflection in near pitch black. Additionally, I was just getting out of sleep paralysis, so I was unable to talk, or move.

Sometimes when I'm about to fall asleep I wake up and take a deep breath because I felt like I wasn't breathing. Like somehow when I go to sleep I forget how to breathe....
The first times it happened I actually feared going to sleep because I was pretty convinced i would die. Now i know that's not the case, but it's still scary, and probably something i should have a look at.

That's fairly common, especially among men iirc. Can be really dangerous too, so you should go to a doctor. :eek:

OT: Walking around in the dark and accidently stepping on my cat definetly makes my heart stop.

What if your boyfriend IS a monster or murderer, and your brain was trying to warn you to call the police in order to save the lives of his future victims?

There's a scary thought

Probably finding a microwave in a classmate's locker. There was a stuffed animal in it.

There's a lot of context for this that I don't want to talk about, but it was basically a high school prank that turned into a Mafia-esque threat.

This isn't mundane, everyday stuff, but one morning I woke up to feeling full-on that everything I would do after I got up would be pointless, and everything around me would be dust one day. It passed within the hour, but I think I might have known what depression felt like that morning.

Or maybe everybody feels that on mondays...

Anyway, more on topic, that feeling when you drop something expensive and/or fragile, and slowly pick it up, dreading that it may have broken. In fact, this video:

the fear of seeing faces in windows. Many times when it's night and I glance at a window, I have horrible feelings of what if someone was staring right back at me from the other side. I get like this especially when home alone, so I go round and close as many blinds as I can, even ones upstairs where really no one could really be standing.

The feeling when I think I've lost my phone, scrambling desperately to find it, only to realise I'm on the phone.

Once, I woke up, completely unable to move. Breathing was basically impossible. It took at least ten seconds to break the paralysis and breath, and air never tasted so sweet.

Similarly, on rare occasion when I'm particularly aware while falling asleep, I lock up...but it feels like my breathing does to, at which point I freak our royally and it takes a very significant effort to get control.

Sleep paralysis for me. Whenever I fall asleep on my back I "wake up" almost completely paralyzed a couple hours later having a waking nightmare. I can't control my breathing or even blink and my movements are very very slow and take a lot of effort. And during this time I'm usually accosted by a very strong sense of fear and a black figure slowly coming closer and closer and trying to touch me. Its terrifying and everytime it happens I think its real and that I'm about to die.

Also when I'm about to fall asleep I suddenly feel like I'm falling and wake up utterly terrified and fully alert.

And then sometimes when I'm about to fall asleep I feel like I stop breathing and then wake up with a jerk and a huge gasp of breath. Once again, utterly terrified.

Fortunately I suffer from really bad insomnia and thus rarely experience any of those things :D

I'll give him the benefit of the doubt this time but if it happens again I'll call the police right away. Actually, now that I think of it this has happened twice... Oh well, looks like I'll be heading back to the single life then.

OT: When I occasionally glance at the wall when I'm going to sleep and the light is off and I see this thing that I'm sure is a spider (yes, I am utterly terrified of those little lumps with legs). Nope, piece of blu tack that I didn't bother taking down when I removed a poster.

When I was a little kid the scariest thing that happened was I woke up and started desperately gasping for air because I could barely breathe. Tried telling my mum what was wrong and I couldn't even speak. I thought I was going to die.

A little ache and soreness in my chest. Is it just a muscle acting up, or am I feeling the beginning of a heart attack?

One time in the fourth grade a classmate brought his pet tarantula to school.

For some reason in the middle of the following night I randomly woke and sat straight up in bed to see the exact kid sitting in my bed next to me. He was holding his tarantula by it's sides with his fore finger and thumb and extending his arm out to me. After a moment he dropped the tarantula making me jump out of bed. I looked back and he wasn't there anymore, but I slept on the couch downstairs anyways because it was so real I still felt like there could have been a huge spider in my bed.

edit- and on that topic, I'm generally terrified that I might hallucinate in general. Like if my imagination acts up too much while in a dark room and I actually do see something horrifying (big eyed aliens are my version of the boogie man). Or if I'm driving and I hallucinate. It hasn't happened to my knowledge though, other than my example above.

bleh, Slenderman is over-hyped to a tee, as long as you aren't bopping around the woods at night you'll be fine. Also, his lack of a face goes against my fear of there being a face at the window >.>

When I was in Iraq, while working on a computer in the morgue, I felt, for the first time, the fight or flight response kick in.

It was fucking terrible. My heart went from 60 to 120 in the time it takes to blink. My hearing went berserk and I could hear EVERYTHING (You have no idea how much noise you don't notice). I actually jumped up to my feet and took a fighting stance.

Second prize goes to the panic attack I had when I was 18. I decided I was going to try and be a better person (I used to be an absolutely terrible, terrible person), so I stopped cursing, stopped insulting or belittling people, and started being helpful. About a week after I started, people told me that when I went to sleep, they could hear me narrating dreams where I killed people, horribly. I started to get really tense when awake. Eventually, I snapped, and during a walk at night I suddenly had the feeling that I was surrounded. I started running around in circles, screaming threats at nothing, and throwing everything I had in my pockets at non-existent people.

Third. Ever since I got back from Iraq, I can't be woken up by people. I attack them instantly upon waking up. Waking up in a blind rage is pretty shitty, especially if once you get your shit together your girlfriend is nursing a black eye.

Not sure its mundane, but here goes.

When I was on antidepressants me and the GF had trouble with our intimacy. Some effects of the medication makes it hard to get...hard so it was a bit difficult to do stuff.

This was pretty devastating to my girlfriend because she wanted me to be happy and enjoy myself (in any way possible). At some point she actually started crying about it, and I was sitting there smiling and being ok with it. I didnt care much about my lack of sex, and I realized I didnt care much about how she felt about it.

Thats when I decided to get off antidepressants. Its a strange feeling when you KNOW in your mind you're supposed to feel bad, and instead you feel nothing.
