Have you ever, ever awakened from a bad dream the way they do in movies?

I mean sitting bolt upright just as you break from the dream.

“TV Tropes” calls it a catapult nightmare.

When I awaken from a terrifying dream, I seldom move at all. Sometimes I open my eyes. It’s enough just to know I’m conscious, even if the dream lingers hauntingly for a time.

Have you ever experienced a catapult nightmare, or ever known someone else to do it?

 
This is in Social, but it’s not a political question and it doesn’t refer to the upcoming 20th of January.
