Got up from a nightmare with Chest pain and it doesn't go away.

My sister got swallowed by a crocodile in my dream.

It was like a nightmare but it was controlled not very scary. She was even giggling inside the crocodile and she wasn't affected.

Anyways, i woke up and i have this chest pain where it hurts bad if i try to breath in..I can only do shallow breaths. And it also hurts if i bend down my torso.

I've had chest pains since i was 13. (am 30 now)very bad.. but recently i wasn't having any.. for a long time. And i hate these cause i can't breath in.

Do you think my bad sleep or positioning in the bed or the nightmare caused it OR could it be something else. Maybe while dreaming i wasn't breathing correctly.

OK guys i'm back. I had the pain for about 13 hours. couldn't breath in deep . But now it's bet ter with some chest pain still when i bend down.

I went to the Cardiologist, he checke d me and EKG too..said my cardio system looks good but he said i might have some lung problemor some problem.

Do you guys think it's a good idea to continue practicing Dream recall and Lucid dreaming when you have this kinds of chest pains?

It most likely has nothing to do with lucid dreaming. You probably just slept in a bad position.

What ChangeTheWorld said, and also it may have something to do with stress. I know that when I am stressed over things I have a pressure on my chest sometimes, but a lot of the time its a mental weight. If that makes sense <.<
