Today, I dreamt my fiancé was rolling frozen potatoes onto my bed to wake me up. In reality I woke up screaming to intense cramps in my legs which almost reduced me to tears. I could barely walk for two hours. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I woke up following one of the worst nightmares of my life. I was sweating, clutching the sheets, and feeling sick to the stomach. I'd been dreaming of my wedding that's taking place next week. FML
Today, I woke up suddenly with giant bugs biting my legs. I screamed, ripped the blanket off the bed and bolted to the bathroom to recover. Turns out it was all a dream, and the person who needed to recover most was my shell-shocked boyfriend who had been sleeping soundly beside me. Sorry, babe. FML
Today, I had a dream I was going the bathroom. I then woke up peeing, but I didn’t wet the bed yet. As I ran to the bathroom while half asleep and in the dark, I rammed into the wall. On my way back to bed, I tripped and accidentally slapped my fiancé in an effort to stop myself from falling over. FML
Today, my fiancé had a nightmare and sat bolt upright in bed, claimed he had a nightmare where we were married, then his head hit the pillow and he was asleep again. That was his nightmare. Us being married. FML
Today, my girlfriend woke up in the middle of the night, crying. When I asked her why, she said that she had a dream where we were getting married. FML
Today, I woke up with a pounding headache. My wife tells me that last night I woke up from a nightmare, screaming, tried to run away, and knocked myself out running headfirst into the bedroom wall. So she put me back to bed and went back to sleep. FML
Today, I woke up from the worst nightmare I've ever had. After tearfully explaining to my boyfriend, in detail, how bad this dream was, he told me to "put on my big girl panties" and make him breakfast. FML
Today I woke up to myself (24F) accidentally losing control of my bowels in bed. I’m not sick, just a food intolerance. The worst part is that my fiancé was sound asleep next to me and I had to wake him up to tell him what happened so I could wash the sheets and bed at one in the morning. He's is now sleeping on the couch. FML
Today, I was sent to the hospital for being knocked out with a potato. FML
Today, I had a dream in which I was throwing up. Turns out it wasn’t a dream and I woke up to puke all over the bed. FML

You may have a potassium or magnesium deficiency, so get that tested and see if your doctor wants to put you on supplements to get you back up to normal and make sure there isn't an underlying cause besides nutrition. If it happens again, avoid stretching your leg away from you and instead stretch your ankle and toe upward slowly. I had a terrible Charly horse a few months ago in my right leg that wouldn't go away for ten minutes (I didn't know how to stretch it) and i couldn't walk for a few hours and I was sore for a week. I can't imagine how both legs would have felt!

Waking up like that doesn't sound very a-peeling to wake up to. Sorry OP. :(

Writergurl is giving you good advice. She knows her stuff! One thing I would add is increase the amount of water you drink daily. And when this happens, get your spouse/family/room mate to bring you a large glass of water. Like 24 or 32 ounces. It will help alleviate the cramping within seconds.

Check your freezer! See if the potatoes show signs of thawing and refreshing. Your fiancé sounds like a crafty one.

I have PCOS and the worst I've ever had was me writhing in pain for 6 hours before I passed out. It sucks, and sorry you're going through it.

This does sound confusing, however, if you are having leg cramps add potassium and magnesium to your diet. A banana will give you potassium, you can buy pills for the magnesium.

Could be magnesium or potassium deficiency. It could also be a muscle injury if you've overstressed your legs recently. The worst case scenario I can think of is that you are having cardiovascular problems with your legs, and are at risk of a blood clot. Make an appointment with your doctor to get labs drawn to cross the first two out, and see if they think you need to see a cardiovascular specialist, or are they willing to risk evaluate you themself.
