    I think it is normal and quite scary. It happens to me when I am stressing about something. Sometimes I'll wake up in the middle of the night and think I see something. I don't know if its in my head or I'm actually seeing something like a dark shadow. So then I let out a wicked scream and scare the bejesus out of my hubby. And then I have to have him hold me for a bit cuz I'm so freaked out.Does it run in your family? Some people refer to them as night tremors.

    Actually, it's pretty normal if you wake up screaming because of a nightmare. Natural for most. It's only a problem if you scream regardless of whether it was because of a nightmare or not.

  • I never did that but it's normal. I was once kind of paralized when i woke up from a nigtmare.
