YES!
That is part of the symptomology of night terrors.
You wake up and are choking, or can't breath, or can't move and something is going on around you-- the sense of an evil spirit, or the feeling like you're being hailed on...
I usually feel someone holding my hand reallllly tight--to the point of it hurting. Now, under the possibility that I could be holding my own hand I sleep with my arms as far apart as poss. and still it happens sometimes.
I usually end up hurling myself onto the floor in my intense effort to wake up, usually screaming.
Now I am nightmare free for almost 5 months...
