What Causes The Electrocution In Sleep?

Last night I was electrocuted in my sleep and I shocked my friend. When she came to, she said I was wrapping my arms around her and I looked frightened and shock. I have hypertension and anxiety, I am 25 and my height is 5'4" and I weigh 190. What happened when I was electrocuted?

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. The electrocution is just a feeling. It was not an actual electrocution as you already knew. During sleep, we do dream. Dreams are actually very short. Not even some minutes long. Such dreams create internal eletrical activities inside your brain. These electrical impulses are also very small, may be microvolts. Sometimes a sudden gush or so many impulses startle us during sleep and such startling could be perceived as shock. You had a normal shock. Please do not club it with your anxiety.

Hope this answers your query. If you need more of my help on this regard, please post a direct query. I am lways available to clear your doubts.
Good luck.
