- Nathanael_M 4y agoAren't these separate things? They seem to be referencing a distinct acting out of specific motions in dreams. Something separate from an unstructured reaction to stress/terror etc.
- dathinab 4y agoyes, true but for a random person the symptoms can look very very similar and you might not be able to differentiate them without going to a sleep lab a panic attack during sleep can put you into a state where you are temporary confused enough to be somewhat stuck between dream and reality making you act similar as to someone "acting out dreams". For example in your dream you might be targeted by snipers and then wake up with a panic attack and still dive into cover besides your bed, like you would have done in your dream.
