Whoa. That waking experience is weird. I once had a similar waking experience. I thought I swallowed a lightbulb, and thoughts were running through my mind that it might break in my stomach and I might DIE, until I realised that it was impossible. |

Hey everybody, i just felt like sharing an interesting nightmare i had last night. It was in the dead of night and i was standing on a road in the middle of nowhere when it suddenly started to rain heavily and a thunderstorm rolled in. A lightning tore the sky and the silhouette of a man appeared on the crest of the road, then he was gone (without the lighting, the area was almost completely black). I got terrified, knowing this man was out there somewhere. Another flash of lightning made the man appear and this time he was a couple of feet infront of me, looking at me. I got chocked and i woke up, and as soon as that happend, a flash of lightning went through my bedroom, and the man was there, staring me right in the eyes, just a couple of inches away from my face, i then woke up (for real this time), but i was looking in the exact same direction as i was in my false awakening, also my blood was pumping from the whole experience, so i didn't realise the transition from the dreamworld-bedroom to the real world bedroom, so i totally freaked out, and thought for a few minutes that the man was really there. It's been a long time since i was so afraid (if ever). I did several RC's to make sure, and i had to really try to relax for about 20 minutes before i could try to go back to sleep. |

wow. you see it's stuff like that that makes me paranoid and sleep with guns and swords. I still peek around before waking up though incase it ever hap[ens it's a routine, (I sleep completly under the blankets, how i breathe I dont know) and i'll pke an eye through before I wake up. |

Isn't it strange how strong experiences like that always seem to be fear related. I hardly ever hear anyone say that they had that type of false awakening where they were lying in bed with a group of sexy island girls (or hunks, for you ladies). I mean, fear is as much a primal instinct as sex and survival! |

It *is* fear that makes us survive - without fear, we woud not be abe to experience any other emotion. |

This reality is like a goldfish bowl. The dreamworld is the same, but larger. It's easy to get lost.

While reading the topic title, I realized about 80% of my lucid dreams have stemmed from nightmares. That is to say, when I am in a nightmare, I am frantically searching for ways it isn't happening, and hope that I'm dreaming. I am going to start trying WILDs tonight, but all of my lucid dreams so far have just been from regular dreams and my gradual awareness. Does anyone else become lucid from nightmares? |
