I've had the same thing you have since I was young. When I was like 4 or 5 I was stung 14 times in the neck by wasps because I didn't see the nest when I was leaning over a window sill. Ever since then I would occasionally wake up over the years with various terrors of the kind you describe where I would see something and attempt to either get away from it or attack it. One time as a kid I woke up to see a bunch of bees flying above me so I freaked out and started swatting at them. (A lot of my hallucinations are insects/bugs etc and involve wasps or bees, I've never had the cockroach one if I'm not mistaken. I have had spiders though, but the worst is wasps for me.)
Another time .... lol this is going to seem funny but I saw a bear with a shotgun and my family ran in and I was yelling. My family said I was looking at this picture on the wall or something but it wasn't bears if I recall. Interesting part about this one was that it was in the middle of the day and the light was on in the room. I still woke up thinking I saw the bear with a shotgun where the picture was on the wall.
A few years ago I almost pulled my fan out of the ceiling because I thought there was something there. I'm not entirely sure what I saw, only that I realized in time I had ripped the cord off and was about to dislodge it lol.
It's interesting to me though because you and I have exactly the same pattern it seems. I rarely remember my dreams. Sometimes I can get right back to sleep and other times when it's really severe I have to go sleep elsewhere. It hasn't happened to me in at least six months. I think the funniest and coolest one I had but I wasn't aware of was this time I was on vacation with family. I didn't remember it but apparently I ran into my sister's room woke her up and told her there was a zealot in the living room lol.
Sounds weird but it's nice to hear someone else shares this because I've never known anyone else that had it even in my own family.

the only semi-funny interesting thing i've seen was when i was at a friends. i saw a red balloon floating over his bed, he asked me what i was doing so in my sleepy daze called him a retard and said there was a balloon above him. i'm not entirely sure if this was similar to my other experiences, but i knew the balloon wasn't a threat so i didn't wake up fully like i normally would, just went back to sleep.
it happened the other night which is why i got curious if anyone else experiences these. i don't know of anyone in my family or friends that has experienced it, and i've had it for six years. i already don't sleep that well most of the time so when it happens it really messes up my sleep more, as i usually become fully awake when i realize what happened, sometimes i can go back to sleep just fine, sometimes not.
