Hi ladies, I’m having a problem that comes only about once a month. Has anyone experienced being in a sleep, having a dream (but doesn’t always come with a dream ) then all of a sudden thrashing about as if I’m trying to escape from something, I have even rolled out onto to floor or jumped up out of bed then wakened suddenly, sometimes I can be panicky or feel out of breath. I had an episode last night where I dreamt the mattress was coming down on top of me as I launched myself to escape unfortunately I kicked & hit my poor husband in the ribs & leg, I sharply wakened up to his fearful yell of “what’s going on” . We have laughed about it this morning but I’m becoming anxious about sleeping in case it happens & I hurt myself or him. I’m presuming it’s hormone related as it only started to happen when I hit peri-menopause.
