I have a lot of weird, and generally unpleasant dreams.

When I was little, they called them night terrors, although what I have now is not on the level of what most people describe as night terrors.

No matter the intensity though, no one wants to wake up screaming and gasping for breath.

Even though it’s pretty embarrassing, there’s nothing to be ashamed of.

Here are 11 people’s confessions about their own night terrors.

1. Oopsie Daisy

The only solution is to change schools.

Or apply for a single room.

2. That’s one way to handle it

Although at some point REM Rebound could become a self-fulfilling prophecy. 😬

3. That’s… some extremes of emotion

I think the question we all want to know is…
who are the sexy dreams about though?

4. Honestly, it’s a mystery

My 8th grade teacher would ask what you ate before bed.

(He recommended cheese, mustard, and pickles if you wanted crazy dreams.)

5. Or maybe it’s just reincarnation ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It’s as good an explanation as anything.

6. I… guess it depends who you date?

There’s got to be someone with a nightmare fetish out there, right?

At least you know they’ve got your back?

8. I wonder if they fine you for that?

If so, the neighbors better be footing the bill.

9. It’s good to have friends and neighbors

Maybe a Thundershirt would help.
Not even joking.

10. In all seriousness though

It’s really not a laughing matter, especially to the afflicted sleeper.

11. It’s all part of the job

He could show the other guy a thing or two.

It really can be very stressful, and it seems like there’s no great solution.

But it’s definitely not something you should be ashamed of.
