This is a problem almost suited for /x/ but I have to ask here. Something happened to me that makes no logical sense whatsoever. And it's very scary. I need your problem solving skills /adv/.

I suffer from night terrors. I had an incident where I had a mother of all night terrors completely different from the others.My family who witnessed it and I both have completely different stories on what happened during the night terror. And each side seems like it makes it impossible for the other side to have happened.

This was my side. I'm chilling in bed. Relaxing. I look over and see a ghastly shadow arm with all sorts of crazy effects on the fingers stretching over and across my moonlit desk towards me. Behind the arm, in the dark I see a jetblack indication of a grotesque figure moving in on me quickly

I let out ONE huge scream and I run through that thing to get to the door and get to the hallway. Here's the problem. They say that I screamed at least 8 times while I was in my room.

So what happened to me? If I screamed 8 times then I would have woken up in immediate fight or flight and would not have felt relaxed or slow to spook like I was. It took a few chill seconds for me to realize that ghastly hand was not a regular shadow or something. Then I freaked out.

So what's up?
