Thread: My worst nightmare yet

I don't know if this is lucid or not:


Basically in RL we used to have this TV set. It was a tv set with "teletext" on it. Basically teletext is a text service that appears at the press of a button. It covers the entire display of the program you are watching but you can still hear the program. Basically in RL this tv was broken so that when you were watching tv sometimes a garbled version of the teletext would come on all by itself, with distorted letters swaying and jerking across the screen. You'd still be able to hear the program normally though, but not see it.

In RL I fell asleep my couch.

In the non-lucid dream:

I am in a bedroom with a girl. We are both sitting on a bed facing eachother. We are talking. Something is weird about her though, something that I don't know if I should be afraid of.

Suddenly as we are talking the "broken teletext" comes on my view in the dream, fully hiding the view behind it (the girl). I can still feel and hear we are on the bed in the room though.

Suddenly I hear faint human sounds that I don't recognise, the girl is changing.

I wake up out of fear. Now to understand this post you need to completely understand this:

The dream up until now had a "background noise" a sort of indistinct aural or stimulatory chatter or a grain.

I wake up lying on my couch where I fell asleep and this background noise/chatter/grain is completely gone. The dream has ended.

But I am sleeping in a strange position. I'm lying on my back as normal but my hands are up next to my head. My arms aren't sprawled out next to my body like when I fell asleep, but my hands are actually lying on the headrest of the couch next to my ears. Palms facing up.

Something sharp is digging into my palms, something like fingernails, or claws.

Out of sheer terror I opened my eyes into RL. As I was opening my eyes for real, time slowed, and I could physically see my dream image moving upwards away from my line of sight as my eyelids were opening into RL.

As the image was rolling up I could just about make out what it was. It was an 8 foot tall winged creature. Like a grizzly bear with the wings of a bat. I never saw it's head or face properly.


The most frightening thing was the speed at which this thing, having sensed I was awakening, jumped up and away from me to escape just before my dream had completely rolled out of view. On this world, nothing of that size can move at that speed.

I was in RL staring at the ceiling lying on the exact same couch.
