Always jumping up. Can't breath... Them everything floods back. It's always couple hours of sleep, dreams, jump.back, catch my breadth.. repeat...

I seem to bee in a pattern where I am awake for nearly two days and then have about a 6 hour sleep. I don't remember a majority of those dreams but I know I always wake up in angst, fear or dread. Its a bit like that first song you hear in the morning, it stays with you all day. I am also waking up in a soaked bed and I don't mean bed wetting. My pillow the other day was soaked from sweat and it wasn't even warm out. And when I say soaked, I mean soaked.

Sounds like panic attack's in your sleep.

I have nightmares every single night but no physical reaction generally, just have got so used to them I suppose.

Have you by chance tried to talk to your doctor about something that will keep nightmares with panic attacks at bay?
I remember one friend I had that had PTSD related nightmares took a certain antipsychotic that really helped her out.
I took the same one and it made me all screwed up though, it's a hit or miss apparently.

I also get some pretty crazy dreams that has me waking up in cold sweat, shaking and what not, it's no fun at all, I'm sorry you're going through this.
