Scary LD experience...

So I really don't know what happened here, but I'll share the story of one of my few LDs ever.
So I was sleeping in the room next to my brother's and I've been asleep for 5 hours. Suddenly I was starting to become lucid in a creepy sort of dream where I was fearing the dark, when suddenly at that exact time which the lucidity started my brother has to wake me up at 3:30am and I freaked the frig out and yelled 'til I was out of breathe. Apparently I started following my brother to his room. He and my parents said I was yelling and acted all frightened for about 40 seconds and went back to sleep when I was woken up, but I remember just sitting there in the bed for a long time scared. I don't remember anything but waking up and sitting there awake. But my family says I yelled loud. Is it normal to wake up like that screaming in the middle of a lucid dream that you are awoken from? I mean it was a dark scary dream, but I really had no reason to scream like a nightmare. What is this?

lmao scared of the dark bahaha i had a lucid last night and i didnt no i was dreaming intill i was trying to turn the lights on and they werent coming on and it was pitch black.. then i relised i was dreaming.. and i started running through this dark house cause there was no lights on. then i turned a light on in my dream and the light came on but the light wasnt very powerfull...

I would have to say from a different experience it is normal to wake up screaming like this no matter if it was a lucid nightmare or not. I have woken from normal dreaming laughing so hard it hurt but I could not stop because at the moment I woke up I was laughing in the dream. I have also woken up angry to the point I yelled at my husband for no reason other then I wake from a dream in an angry state of mind.

I guess the real question is does this seem to happen to you a lot? And it kind of sounds like if you do not remember following your brother to his room you could have been sleep walking. I used to do this as a child. Do you have a history with sleep walking or talking? It could explain a little about this experience.

Take Care,
