Half waking dreams of not fun

I had something approaching a night terror last night. Not fun. My brain was dreaming but I was still aware of light coming into the bedroom, that I was in bed, T. moving around the apartment and even noise from his TV show. Then my arm was pinned down (okay it was by a possesed blanket hand in the dream thing and my hand in rl) and I couldn't get free and I couldn't make enough noise for T. to hear me and dreaming me was freaking out, and when I finally spoke it woke me up for real. Then I realised I was holding my own arm down, I thought. I made T. come into the bedroom before I tried letting go.

I think the weirdest part was that for all the panic a fear in the dream when I woke up I wasn't breathing hard and my heart wasn't racing, both things that happen to me when I do have scary dreams, it was like I went from pure terror to awake and fine, but maybe just a little skeptical of if it was really reality.
