ptsd and 10 false awakenings

Date: 1/11/2017

I had a night terror today while sleeping next to my boyfriend. I'm not going to go into detail cuz it's not abnormal for me. But I woke up in the position I fell asleep in with my boyfriend facing away like he was when we fell asleep. I try to wake him but he won't wake up. I keep touching him but nothing. I got so scared I woke up, again, in the same exact setting..... over and over and over again. About 10 times at least. Each one was slightly different in what happened after I try to wake him. Once, I tried to lay on him and started freaking out cuz he still wouldn't wake, another I reach out and touch his face but he responded with "don't touch my face". When I finally woke up for real after what seemed like so long, I had to make sure so I pinched myself because I was in that position as I was every single time and so was my boyfriend. And he woke up and I started bawling. Not only did I have a horrible night terror but I was trapped in a state that only Tom Cruise had felt in that movie with the aliens and him dying and reliving the same day over and over. I've heard of false dreams but never like this. Never this many times.
