Thread: Exit Pain

Last night (aka five minutes ago ) I actually had one of my rare nightmares. To explain briefly what went on at the end of the dream; I was in the master bathroom putting something into the closet there (toilet paper I think) when all of a sudden I feel an exploding pain in the back of my head. The only way I can describe it is to just imagine staying conscious after being shot in the back of the head. Or at least imagine it in your dreams, because you'll never be able to guess at it in real life. So anyways, it was incredibly painful and I fell to my knees. Then, pain still present, it feels like an invisible hand grabs me by the neck and pulls me into the air and forward into the next room where I see my sister holding me up in a very darth-vader-ish way. So, hoping to high hell it was I dream, I reality check and immediately wake up. Okay, so the point of this whole thread is that I still felt a severe pain in the back of my head after waking up, and in real life it was almost tear inducing until it started fading after about five long seconds.

Okay, so I was just wondering, has anyone else ever felt physical pain upon leaving a dream, or just waking up normally? Or really, any easy to pinpoint physical sensation at all (meaning, not something vague like numbness or tingling).
