Panic/anxiety sucks and it can do amazingly odd things to you.
On a similar notes years ago not long after moving into our house we had one of those mirrors on the back of the bedroom door. We turned the A/c on just in the bedroom for sleeping so door was closed and we just started doing this. I woke up...caught a reflection of some sort in the mirror, forgot the door was closed so I thought in the dark I was looking into the hallway. I panicked BAD and sat straight up in bed, thus slightly catching my own reflection in the mirror (that is now staring back at me from the hallway) and let out a blood curdling scream. I was so friggin scared. Hubby woke from the scream and saw a figure over the bed and kicked the intruder (which was really me) in the head with all his might. I quickly screamed that it was me and he stopped. We both felt like jackasses after ward but yeah to make a long story short...if you wake up and you think something terrifying is appening it can feel very real!
