Ever had a trick/double nightmare?

[nikomas1]

This story is one of the scariest nightmares I've ever had, not in itself but in the circumstances, read my story please.

So first I have this nightmare (Can't remember, you will know why soon) and I wake up, sweating and stuff. It's 9 in the morning and I don't feel like going back to sleep, nightmares do that to you. And I decide to go up and eat breakfast, albeit tired. So I get dressed and walk up the stairs, 100% convinced that I'm not dreaming anymore and I see my dad/half-mum eating breakfast, talking normally and stuff. I sit down but I eat nothing because I have no appetite. Then both my half-sisters enter the room and sit down, everyone there at that point. I look down at the food and look up again.

I can't remember what I saw, Only that I were something completely terrifying and then i woke up, the clock were around 5 in the night and that time I woke up for real, I could not go back to sleep after that one.
I think you've already got my point but I'll clarify just in case. I woke up from a nightmare into another nightmare. The thing that scared me so weren't the horrible thing itself, no. It were because I were a 100% sure I was awake.


Have anyone else had a nightmare like this one?

The only nightmare I remember was of an Urak-Hai (spelling?) from Lord of the Rings, running up from behind my mum, then stabbing her through the face with a garden fork (from cheek to eye), without breaking stride. Oddly enough though, there was absolutely no blood, and they (there was a huge meeting of them) left everyone else alone.

I don't remember ever having a real nightmare

It's called a double awakening.

And I've had triple, quadruple ones. Usually not associated with nightmares though.

I did have a dream like that. I "woke up" from whatever nightmare I had (this was many years ago, so bear with me) and I saw a massive freaking spider on top of me, one that was as big as my torso. I woke up screaming. It freaked me out a good bit. I've also had dreams where I was convinced that I was awake and I was late for school, which is a nightmare for me anyway.

I have dreams like that sometimes.

I have very strange dreams, though.

Holy crap, I was getting ready to post just before I read this, and got the shivers. I had this identical experience about six years ago, and always tell people how terrifying it was. I think it was some kind of sleep paralysis or something. I'm sure that I woke up, but for some reason I imagined a big freakin spider on my chest. I couldn't move for several seconds, then was able to jump out of my bunk (I was in the military at the time) and have a total freak out, trying to shake the thing off of me. I soon realized it was a dream, but I remained completely freaked afterward. Hasn't happened since. Anyway, crazy coincidence...

I had a dream where I woke up,and looked around,the room was as if everything was normal.
But I was still asleep

You guys should reach Shymalan. I hear he's running out of ideas.

I had a dream like that.
My dad was walking into he bedroom one night real late. I got up to look to see what was going on and his face looked so fuckin' mangled and zombie-fied I screamed "OH GOD! OH GOD!"
I got laughed at because of it =[

Damn. Here's one: My brother had this dream that he described as feeling very realistic, like he wasn't dreaming. He woke up and got ready for school. On his drive to school, he caught a glimpse of what seemed like a werewolf. He gets to school, then later at lunch, he's eating outside when he sees that creature again in a nearby group of trees. He goes home, goes to sleep (as well as he can), wakes up, and gets ready for school. He decides to drive me to school. We get in the car, and when he looks in the rear view mirror, he sees that werewolf, right behind him. Then he looks to me, and sees that I am one as well. I then bite a chunk out of his throat. Then he woke up.
When I heard this I was glad that my nightmares aren't quite so... unsettling.

Reading this I'm compelled to remove my headphones so as to improve my sensitivity.

I'm also abusing my touch-typing ability, to keep my eyes behind me.

Ugh, just as I was about to go to sleep.

*que The Twilight Zone theme*
Then again, perhaps it's not that great a coincidence considering that giant spiders a frightening to nearly everyone. Now if it was something more obscure, that would be more surprising.

That kind of stuff doesn't happen in real life does it? That has never happened to me.

I've had one of those, of a sort. It needs a bit of backstory to make sense, though.

I can provoke lucid dreaming often, and have used it many a time to think of new ideas. In particular, after realizing I'm dreaming I'll on occasion find myself in an antique hallway that is in turn connected to a large mansion, with several doors to either side. These doors lead to guest bedrooms, which generally contain some person or another. I generally ignore them, going off to speak with a regular of this particular setting.

However, there was one time where one of the rooms didn't quite fit in. While the lighting in each of the rooms was warm and sunny, suggesting it was mid-day, this one seemed cold and twilit. In place of the usual flesh-and-blood folk, the room had a single, humanoid shadow on the floor. A shadow with no owner. Intrigued, I entered the room. It was surprisingly bare, considering that most of the other rooms' desks and shelves held assorted knick-knacks and possessions of their current owners. On the contrary, the room was entirely empty, save for the desk, the bookshelf, the antique bed, and the shadow.

At that point, I felt some odd urge to lay on the bed. I decided to, and quickly fell asleep-in my own dream. However, it was when I woke up that made the most bizarre impact.

I woke up to find the same room, but dramatically changed. The bed was old and tattered, and the furniture was dusty and worn. The east wall had crumbled, revealing an empty waste in place of what I believe used to be a garden. And in place of the shadow was another shadow, this time semi-three dimensional, and standing of its own accord. Its surface constantly shifted about (much like a faulty TV image), and a curiously faint whisper was coming from it, though I never caught what it was saying. I left that room to find that the rest of the rooms, the hallway, and indeed the entire mansion had suffered the same fate, its inhabitants also turned into whispering shadows. I asked what was going on, but they didn't seem to like that much, and rushed at me. And then, just as I was looking to see my hands start turning into the same phantasmal shade, my alarm went off.

No, that's not made up. I just remember my lucid dreams vividly. That, and I have a tendency to elaborate.

EDIT: Note that this happened long before I even knew of Fallout 3. Just in case it seemed kind of coincidental.

Never had any paticularly disturbing dreams myself thank god but I remember my brother having a paticularly tramautising one. Apparently he dreamt there was a manakin (sp?) dancing about in his room. Seriously , this freaked him the fuck out. He didn't sleep for days after that.

 

[letsnoobtehpwns]

never had one. they sound cool though!

 

[Zeromaxx]

No unfortunately. I'm one of those people who want any and all possible life experiences that won't horribly, physically, cripple you so I sort of want one. I can't even recall having a nightmare as I'm also one of those people who very rarely dreams or very rarely remembers their dreams...I don't know which.

Trust me, having all of your subconscious acquaintances turned to shadows in a plane of nothingness is not cool. Not cool in the slightest.
