Sleeping problems hallucination??

When i go to sleep, sometimes i think of things choking me like a giant boa constrictor choking my neck, or a giant rock getting lodged down my throat and i sweat a lot. when i have these thoughts my heart beat fast and i feel like throwing up, im 14. to get rid of this i usually just wash my face in cold water. I don't have these problems everyday, but they seem to disturb me badly. Any reason why im getting these rarely?

Answer:
Here's a mouthful "Hypnagogic Hallucinations". It is experienced as your body and brain transition between sleep in not quite the right order - we naturally suppress movement during our dreams so we will not fall out of bed (out of the tree/cave). If the order is off some times, you have wild dream imagination going on in your head, but your brain has already shut off movement, so these terrors center on being paralyzed, held down, or gagged.

You may have an anxiety disorder. Talk to your school nurse or counselor and see if they recommend you see a physician.
Sometimes this happens when a blanket or a pillow gets wrapped around your head. It wakes you up and prevents you from getting low on oxygen.
Try sleeping with blankets a little lower, like under your arm pits.
It is possible that it is sleep apnea. That is a breathing problem that happens when you are asleep. You need to be seen by a doctor.
