Yeah it used to happen to me a lot. Not so much anymore. I have phases with dreams... When I was a kid I used to love dreaming, but then suddenly I started waking up with this awful feeling, a mixture of fear, guilt and regret. Then I got these re-occuring nightmares. They weren't typical nightmares with monsters etc, they were totally normal. I remember string, a sewer, a rocket and a clock. Then I would wake up and it would take me ages to get out of the freaked out mindstate. It only really happens when I have a dream i'm not comfortable with now. Like the other week a prisoner told me "you know, I don't think they're ever gonna let me out."then he got beaten to death with baseball bats and clubs. I woke up feeling awful. Still love dreaming though! It'll fade, i'm sure

When I was younger, that used to happen to me after a nightmare (I sure wish I'd heard of reality checks back then). It still happens to a lesser extent when I wake up from a nightmare. But I just do a few RCs to make sure I'm awake.

Happened to me last night, even though the dream was pretty stupid.
