I've experienced "false awakenings" a number of times. They usually happen after a dream that I have where I know that I am dreaming. For example, when I have a "lucid" dreams in which I am flying, I can control many aspects of the dream. Then I will cease having that control and be in a normal situation and feel as though I've woken up and I'm in reality. These dreams are often pretty scary because they seemingly have consequences. Most of my dreams on some level I know that I am dreaming but with the "false awakening" dreams, I don't at all. When something goes wrong in the dream, I really feel like it's happening. Waking up to a panic attack would suck. Sorry you had to go through that.
