Cartoon Dream?
Hello! I'm kind of scared to go to sleep tonight, my few last night dreams in mind. So I want to post it here to see if It's common?
I have a MAJOR fandom over a tv show Adventure Time, and I just saw the Gender Swap version. The girl vampire in the original, Marceline, is now a guy, Marshall Lee. That's my new fandom!
So I've been having dreams about him; and one night really had me scared.
It was my normal dream about him, we meet and such, but this time had a different ending; he hugged me, and as soon as he did I woke up.
My lips tasted like strawberries, which Marshall likes to eat, and I had a different smell on me... sort of like daisies and some air freshener...
But my house usually smells like blueberries (I don't know why) and I don't have strawberries in my house.
I had a second dream that I was "cursed" by him a different night, and from there on out I woke up at 5:00 every night. Another reason why I won't go to sleep.
Is is a dream inside a dream? What is going on? I'd really like some answers, if possible. Please and thank you! :)

Yo and welcome to dreamviews! :welcome:
You don't need to be scared to go to sleep, nothing in dream can hurt your waking body, and if you don"t want scary dreams, think about positive things before/while falling asleep, or alternatively, learn lucid dreaming and confront your fears. :)
There are no actual dreams inside dreams, but rather, scene changes that can simulate it through false awakenings, those can be confusing and there's nothing to be afraid of, and in fact false awakening can be good for becoming lucid. ;)
As for taste after waking up, you feel it when you really wake up, right? If so, this is just hypnopompic hallucinations and those can happen when waking up, again, nothing to be afraid of.
As for waking up at same time, if you have consistent sleeping schedule then your sleep periods change at same times through night, and we all briefly wake up without noticing at the end of REM to go then into the next sleep cycle, but if we are more aware then we can wake up at those times fully, it's great for dream recall. :P

There's every chance this was just a False Awakening, or a mistake of your fuzzy-half-asleep brain :P Nothing to worry about, and nothing can harm you :)
