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.

One episode of: this is not enough for a proper diagnosis. If you are subject to panic attacks please see a mental health professional for support and treatment. That may be the real issue. Peace and good health.
