    When I was deployed in Afghanistan, everyone I knew had the same reoccurring dream- some other dream is happening, and then out of nowhere, you hear a gunshot/explosion, and wake in a cold sweat, absolutely certain that you just got shot or blown up. And the certainty persists for about five seconds after you wake, as you shakily pat yourself down for blood. Good times.

      Unless you also happen to get sleep paralysis at the same time! Happened to a friend who fortunately was in a tent full of very understanding people when he woke us up screaming.
