I was about 8 yrs old and had 8 brothers and sisters of various ages. Somehow we got separated from our parents and they got amnesia so they kept running away from us, even to the point of trowing things at us to keep us away. I woke up when I hit my head against a wall trying to avoid a shovel being swung at me! And spent the whole day(in real life) with a nasty headache (drugs didn't help)

I go through phases like this when I'm stressed out a bit like back in uni during hard exams when I was working too much to study. I'd sleep walk at least once per night and it got to the stage where my room mate would laugh and ask me silly questions and I'd drift into consciousness and get really frustrated realising straight away that I was dreaming again

<pointless yet slightly related fact>
I saw plenty of sleep walkers during my days in the army. Not being given a chance to sleep more than 4 hours a night for 3 months (jungle warfare training) really got some people's stress levels sky high.

Not to mention the 30Kg worth of gear strapped to you whilst crossing a river 40 meters deep after marching for 40Kms...

I think the level of stress is quite different... you didn't risk falling from a helicopter or activating a mine or getting disconnected from your co-workers and getting hopelesly lost on a daily basis did you?

thats some hardcore training.. too physically demading for me personally.. too bad Vueys Vienam War is over, im sure you could have put that training to good use! sounds pretty dramatic! closest ive been to real battle is ducking bullets in cabra... .
