Recurring Nightmare Prevents Me From Sleeping Alone

Struggling with Sleep and Nightmares

I have night terrors. well, it's a mix of lucid dreams and night terrors. I wanted to see if anyone related to what I've experienced. any feedback or info on this sort of stuff is highly appreciated! I'm bad at story telling, but when I'm having these lucid night terrors, it's like I'm watching a horror movie. I'm invested in it, yet, I don't make the decisions. I could be standing and my body would slowly drift away, I'd try to grab onto something or move myself back but it doesn't work. it's all happening right in front of me and I can't do anything about it. I can't close or cover my eyes in any way. I can feel my hands trying to close them but I don't see them and it doesn't work. I can also feel how I'm laying down on my bed when I'm dreaming. I could be standing in my dream but feel my body pressed against my bed. it's weird. the crazy part is, I try to call for my mom, scream, make any sort of noise to ask for help but nothing comes out. it strains me to do it but I get so scared I keep screaming—it never works. it's like I'm muffled away from the real world. at the same time, in some of these dreams I can see the room I'm in, I can see my cat, every detail, but I don't see myself. I see weird entities and that's when I start to panic. my dreams usually punch me towards these entities. I can't identify who they are or what they are. things like this have made me develop a phobia of dark, cold places. in these dreams it's dark and cold, when I wake up from them, I'm in a dark room, usually cold because I don't sleep with blankets on. sometimes, when I'm in these dreams, I can hear things going on around me but I'm not there. that's probably just because I'm half asleep, but idk. again, advice or ideas on this would be highly appreciated. xx

Does anyone have dreams where they know they are asleep and are desperately trying to wake themselves up by pinching, yelling, willing, etc. and sometimes have dreams that last such a long time u begin to think u will never wake up and just pray that someone comes and shakes you awake
