Lately, and even in the beginning, whenever I fall asleep after meditating, even if I meditated hours before, I have the worst night terrors. Growing up I had them due to PTSD, but they lessened to like once a year up until I started doing the 40 day Meditation. Now its more frequent, and I can never wake myself up from them. They arent like my night terrors from my PTSD either. Those were just like vivid flashbacks as if I were reliving them again. These are absolutely terrifying and put me in like, a sleep coma, so it doesnt matter how loud I scream, or how badly I thrash, I cant wake up unless an outside force wakes me up, and even then, it has to be a major force, like my boyfriend shaking me and smacking my legs to get me to wake up. I dont understand why it only happens when I meditate, but its difficult staying consistent when Im beginning to realize Ill go through hell when I close my eyes. Its worth it, but does anyone have any idea why it would happen or how to wake my dream self up?
