Ok last night Feb 22 2006 i had a dream (non-lucid) but my and a bunch of mates were being chased by some kind of giant cyclops creature. I will go into detail.

We were being chased by a giant cyclops. i ran one way my friends ran another. i got knocked hard into a wooden pole and fell to the ground hard, i was weak but just able to move. My friends watched me from a hiding spot, the cyclops looked for the rest of my friends thinking i was dead. I looked at my friends from their hiding spot weakend and scared.

That is all i will tell you because that is all you need to know. i remind you that dream was NOT lucid.

Can someone tell me why i didn't know it was a dream at the sight of the cyclops?

Thanks
