Panic Attack: I understand your distress of the dream with panic attack and waking up hyperventilating. Be assured that it is not night terror. Trust in healing powers of your body if you do not have Panic attack or hyperventilation in the day time; symptoms are less intense ; no other acute symptoms when you wake up. Panic attacks and nightmares are treatable. See Psychiatrist for Therapy and medication.
