Bad dreams and shouting

[Thatshipsailed]

I’ve recently started having bad dreams which I wake up from shouting out loud. My daughter has slept with me a few times and she says I start breathing really fast and then shouting things like ‘no, no’ then I wake myself up.

I’m not particularly stressed or anything. is this normal?! Anyone else experienced it? It’s only started over last few months

Just to add it’s not night terrors as I remember them and stop as soon as I wake.

also the dreams aren’t THAT scary they’re like normal nightmares. It’s the waking shouting that’s new

Anyone? Or am I alone in my weirdness?!
