waking up like that and reaching for water too. what helped me was keeping my phone away and reminding myself, “i'm awake, i'm here, it was a dream,” until my body settled a little.

this sounds really scary to go through alone. when you wake up like that, does your fear fade after a few minutes, or does it stay with you for hours?

i've had those wake-ups too, heart racing and body shaking before i was even fully awake. dreams about my ex felt so damn real for a few seconds, and midnight made everything feel ten times scarier.
