Nightmarish

Had an horrific nightmare last night. And I only say "horrific" because of the fact that it got my out of bed in a blind panic. That has only happened one time before as I can recall, when I was only a child of around 10 or so.
I don't remember much, but I recall it ended with a massive spider crawling over my pillows toward me, prompting me to flee the bed.  I only woke up after finding myself on the other side of the room, desperately trying to get the light on.  I went back to bed shortly after, but with a severe distrust of the bed and my pillows.
I believe the spider was inspired by the last few chapters of "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep", which I had just finished several hours before.
I don't often have nightmares, in fact I cant recall when I last had one. But the effect this had on me really disturbs me. Just the utter panic I felt.
