Nearest I ever came to anything similar - but not the same thing - was as a child. I used to lie awake in bed in total darkness (wartime, blackout) and watch as a glowing giant spiderweb, with strands as thick as cables, formed around my bed. It was studded with the great dark bodies of spiders and glowing human skulls. I would just lie there, eyes wide and unblinking, rigid with terror, only eyes and nose outside the blankets, and barely breathing, 'cos any movement on my part would let them see me and then.....!!

Your experiences sound MUCH worse, and you have my deepest sympathy. I 'grew out' of mine. I will check out the site.

That DOES sound like Night Terrors Fljotsdale! They are quite common in children as some parts of the brain develop faster than others - but the vast majority of people grow out of it. The only experience I can liken it to is if you have a fever and have delirious hallucinations.

Time is an illusion. Lunchtime doubly so.
