Thread: Scariest dream I ever had. Explanation, anyone?

Hello, this is my first time posting. =]
I had the freakiest dream I've ever had a couple days ago and decided to post it here to see if anyone has any feedback or anything.
I don't remember it very well, my dreams have been fuzzy lately. Which is very frustrating for me, because I used to have very vivid, lucid dreams that I could easily control.
Anyway..

First thing I remember is getting up and walking over to my parents' house to use the bathroom (I live next door to them, my house is under construction, so I'm over here a lot). My little sister (who, in actuality, was away visiting friends in Virginia) walked in and I asked her what she was doing home early. She told me that her and the friend she was staying with had just flown back. I asked her how they got home from the airport and she told me "Heather had a car waiting at the airport". I got the impression they were secretly rich and had been keeping things from me and was furious. Then, I tried to attack her. As hard as I tried to hurt her, she just smiled. Then, I realized she didn't look like her normal self, she looked evil. And nothing I did was hurting her, which was making me even angrier, so I left.
I assume I walked back over to my house and went back to bed because the next thing I remember in the dream is "waking up" in my room. All of the sudden, the dream was just extremely clear and real feeling, and I actually thought I was really awake for a minute. I can't remember which came first, hearing the voices or trying to get up, but I absolutely COULD NOT get up. I felt like I was so extremely tired, I couldn't move, couldn't bring myself to roll over or sit up or open my eyes. There were these voices, I can't remember what most of them were saying, but there were a couple lines that stuck out. Something about "because you think you're better than all of us", which was in a male voice.
Now, at first, when the voices started and I thought I was awake, I got pretty scared. I had a "psychotic episode" last summer and thought I was going crazy again. But, when they started, and I tried to get up to leave my house, because I felt like I was in danger and didn't want to be there, and I realized I couldn't move, I remembered I'd had dreams like that before where I felt like I was too tired to move. So I told myself 'Oh, I'm just dreaming. Well, this dream is scary, so I'm going to wake up now'. Continued trying to get up but couldn't. Voices continued, I started to get a little more freaked out. Then, one corner of my room, near the ceiling, started glowing/lighting up and it seemed like the voices were coming from there. I just wanted to wake up and get out of my house, but as hard as I tried, I couldn't. Then a voice said something about "needing energy". And then I remember it sounding like there were children outside my house, playing or something, and I was like 'ok I AM going to get up and see what's going on out there'. And then my room was filled with the scent of meth cooking (I have never been around meth and really have no idea what it smells like, but I hear it's a horrid smell, and when I went crazy I kept thinking I smelled it and the smell in my dream was exactly the same smell). About that time, I remembered something I'd read one time about astral projection, and people having trouble getting their astral body aligned with their physical body when returning, so I thought maybe that's what was happening to me, and began focusing on trying to make sure they lined up. I started with my hand because I could see it near my face (by the way, my vision didn't seem quite normal, it was like I could see around more than should have been possible). One of the last things I heard the voices say as I was doing this was something like "We're very disappointed in you, Auntie Elemental". Or it could have been Aunti Element. One of the two. And it was creepy, whispery, little kid voices that said it. And it really stuck out to me, for some reason. And I felt very guilty. And then, I finally felt like my bodies lined up and tried moving my fingers. I saw and felt them twitch slightly, and then jerked awake and gasped and my heart was pounding.

I could never put into words what that dream felt like, but it was so unlike anything I've ever experienced before, and I will never forget it. Has anyone ever had anything like this happen to them?

Lol, no. It wasn't until after trying to get up and not being able to and hearing the voices that I became aware that it was a dream.

I've had dreams like that before, too. =/ Where I'm filled with an overwhelming sense of rage and trying my hardest to hurt someone but they just find it amusing.


Edit: Oh, and I wasn't TRYING to attack her. I WAS attacking her. Lol. I was scratching and biting her face and pulling her hair.

Lol

Are you sure this wasn't sleep paralysis and you were 'awake'? Because that's what it sounds like to me, and I used to hear creepy voices the first couple of times I had SP and didn't know what it was. Of course I could be wrong and it could have just been a creepy dream

Looks like SP+HH...

I'm pretty certain it was a dream. =/ Shortly after everything coming into focus and being completely clear and real feeling, it went back to being hazy and dreamy. Which, is what usually happens when I'm dreaming. =[ And then when I woke up for real, I could just tell it had been a dream.
