I did experience this once when i was about that age, i had weird smurf-looking things that lived in my house and forced me to be their slave, however when i woke up and walked out of my room they were still there and only i could see them.. From then on things went black and i woke up in my bed again (I think.. it was a while ago now). So yeah, from personal experience i would say FA.

I disagree... because when I was little I had a bad dream and work up to hippo dressed in tiki clothing dancing around my bed chanting and holding spears in there hands... my mom remembers is I went to the basement to cool down after the dream it's not a FA.. a similar thing happened to my sister with different characters. I remember it as does the rest of the family it's not an FA... they almost always happen after nightmares to do with a rush of adrenaline and a quick awaking…

how is THAT a bad dream? chanting hippos in tiki clothing? that is the best dream ever. if it was the spears that killed this whole dream, that is a sad loss of awesome dream potential.

i was having a nightmar before hand where i was tied up and going to be killed by the hippos

Mm...can't say I've ever had one of these types of experiences before, though my brother used to complain about stuff like this when he was a little kid.

That doesn't keep it away, it just makes it more strange.

I should extend what happened. After it faded and I called down my step dad took me out into the backyard, said he thought I should get some air. Then he threw me into the pool with my clothes still on and I swam for a good half hour before going back to bed.

False awakening = false theory in my particular case.

I've never been able to explain nor am I able to forget it. It was pretty traumatic.
