I was with some friends in a building of some sort. we were looking for things for some reason. we found them, and then the lights went out. i couldn't see a thing. Then I heard footsteps. They were getting louder. I tried to shout or something, but my voice failed me. I vividly remember the feeling of pure terror that i felt. It was the strongest emotion I have felt in a dream. Then, as the steps got louder, the lights came on. It was some harmless person that i can't remember because i think the shock woke me up.

As a side note, I asked a friend of mine, and weird dreams like this could be linked to me trying to create a tulpa. which is cool i guess

still struggling to get any form of recall. but i just remember my brother bursting in, waking me up saying the police are here! and then i woke up properly. that is all

I woke up remembering a dream in more detail than ever before, unfortunately i forgot it as i was about to write it.

All I remember was that it was a dream where relatively everyday things were going on, just my regular life, bt a bit more interesting. i'll edit this if i remember it.

haven't been at my laptop for a few days, and have a few fragments to post. dream recall starting to improve

-dreamt I was in my bathroom, looking in the mirror and i had some weird beard/mustache of some sort. It literally looked like a clump of hair was glued onto my head. I then inspected my teeth for some reason. about 4 hours after waking up I realised that I had 2 rows of teeth, sort of like a shark i guess, but only because they are the only creatures with several rows of teeth that i know

-sort of like a false awakening i guess, didnt realise until i woke up though. I had messaged someone on twitter and they hadnt replied. When i thought I had woken up, i checked my phone and had 3 replies. only later did I realise that the 3 replies arrived at different times, with the first being 2 seconds ago, the 2nd being 5 seconds and the 3rd being 10 seconds. weir because they should be in the other order, but made sense in the order they were in.
checked my phone when i woke up, i never had received a reply.

Although fragments, I'm starting to remember these fragments in more detail.

OK, so i was in bed trying to get to sleep. I've not been specifically aiming for a lucid as i am focusing on my dream recall. I then realized somehow and in my head i said, "oh, i'm falling asleep". that's never happened for me before+there was no sleep paralysis or anything.
I knew I was dreaming but did an RC anyway. I knew it was a dream because there was nothing there. Just a black void. My mind appeared not to have formed a dream world. I wanted to check something on my laptop, looked to my right, and it was there, with what i would describe as a spotlight around it. I went on it, spoke to my friend.
The other weird thing was that my friend eventually told me to wake up, it was getting late. The dream faded and i woke up, and i had nearly overslept.

The one thing i don't get is this. I was aware the time i fell asleep, which was around 11pm. it was the first time i had slept that day, so that dream should have ended after the first REM cycle, so being told that its getting late shouldn't have worked.
The only explanation i can think of is that i may have fallen asleep, woken up before my last period of REM sleep, still thinking it was 11pm, and then realised that i was falling asleep, with the dream happening then. its cool though, to have my subcouncious making sure that i don't oversleep in my dreams though
