Weirdest/Most Horrible Ways You've Been Woken Up.

Cat on my face and a dog chewing my toe.

Waking up to the feeling of being grabbed by the shoulders and urgently shaken when I was the only person at home was a rather odd experience.

Oh, and being woken up by the sound of lighting striking just outside my window fucking sucked too. Additionally so because it was five in the fucking morning. It's always nice to start the day by being jolted awake by a deafening thunderclap and almost falling out of bed.

Edit: Actually, come to think of it, I remember one that was much worse than either of the other two:

Waking up with terrible stomach cramps, somehow managing to stumble into the bathroom and throw up, only to collapse on the floor, screaming and sobbing in pain for some half an hour. I must've completely forced that one out of my memory. Man, that sucked...

AHHHH. YOU TOTALLY JUST REMINDED ME. One time we were traveling back home from mexico via driving. We stayed in a hotel room some random night. I don't know when, but I got some kind of stomach flu. I woke up in the middle of the night with that feeling of: IMGOINGTOSHITRIIIIIGHTNOW. And when I got to the bathroom, uuugh. It was horrible. I threw up into the shower right next to the toilet over and over, and had diahria and my body was shaking so hard that it hurt.
I repressed it until I read that story of yours.

Also, another time I had a hoooooooooorrible nightmare. God, it made me sick to my stomach. Why didn't I remember these two? They're soooo much worse than the other stuff I remembered. By like a million.

That reminds me, when I was in high school we use to raid each others dorms at night so we've all became pretty light sleepers. One night I was woken up several times by the sound of running footsteps getting closer to my room, so I would get up and get ready to fend off the raid only to be greeted with silence each time...

Eventually I got annoyed and stepped outside and looked down the hallway and it was empty, I was more creeped out then annoyed after that and quickly went back to bed.

Once my cat was staring at me while I was sleeping and I woke up and saw those glowy eyes like 2 inches from my face (it was 4 am and dark). People apparently heard the screaming like 3 doors down the road.

Oh and once my girlfriend broke into my house to get into bed with me...not at all unwelcome though...the bad part was the next morning, since we'd planning to wake up at 5 to get her safely out of the house, but we overslept and my parents came in...yeah, not pleasant.

My dog randomly jumping on my stomach, asking to be let outside.

CATPCHA:

Huh.

 

[Kaltazraza]

A spider running over my neck, and since the slightest poke can make me jump the spider woke me.
About 10 years ago I was on a school trip to an aquarium, and we got to sleep in there, I choose to sleep in front of a large tank, and was woken up by a manta ray splashing in the surface of the tank, causing water to fall on my face.

My mom dropped a frozen 20lbs. Turkey on my head that we were going to have for dinner on the next Sunday with some Family.. Broke my nose and fractured my Jaw. Thanks, mum!

 

[Fishehh]

Double post because captcha said I did it wrong, when I actually didn't!

 

[Declaro]

I hated waking up after my various surgeries, especially whenever they'd done stuff in my mouth so it tasted like ass times ten thousand.
But the most horrible way I've woken up was to a cockroach on my neck, covering the whole side of my neck it was on. No one wants that.

I was visiting a friend in New York and I was sleeping off the jet lag in the front room, and my friend thought it would be absolutely hilarious to turn on the TV at full blast to wake me up. I tell you, waking up to the sound of Richard Simmons and one of his workout programmes was one of the the scariest damned things...

Why do I find myself in agreement with your friend...(?)
In fairness, I'd be more enraged than scared...

I have a nerve disorder called "Fibromyalgia". I was having a weird dream that involved disney, my boyfriend and something about the x-men when mid-dream I collapsed and couldn't walk or move. My whole body felt nothing but pain, the next thing I knew I woke up in a panic only for it to get worse. The pain was FAR worse while I was awake then asleep. I wound up crying for like 10 minutes, pain still un-subsided (in fact worse because I got stressed out.) I got up and went into the kitchen to make chicken salad so I could have it tomorrow for lunch. It was both weird and horrible.

Remember the thread in Advice... make any headway regarding treatment? Hope you're doing OK.

The only thing that comes to me was when I woke up screaming after my dog wore my cat's skin in my dream.

 

[Sir_Tor]

Dreaming that I actually went through a full day at school and went to bed then waking up beliving it was real... One wierd morning!

 

[irani_che]

My friend broke into my apartment and woke me with a kitchen knife at my throat.
I screamed, kicked him across the room and then woke up
then he, half winded half laughing tried to calm me down and we went out for breakfast at 4 am

 

[Da Orky Man]

A stranger gently shaking me in the middle of a Subway restaurant, and my mom freaking the FUCK out off to the side. I'd fainted waiting in line. Apparently it's a common thing for adolescents to do, hypoglycemia and all.

Isn't hypogycemia a product of possible diabetes? Well, the kind where you get too much insulin.

I once woke up with half my body hanging down the ladder of the bunk-bed I had at the time. As is usual for my luck, I panicked and fell off. And so hilarity ensured.

 

[legend of duty]

the sound of a gun loading scary as shit

 

[Yokai]

I was having a nightmare and thrashing around, and woke up when I bashed my head into my nightstand at the exact same time I completely slipped off the bed.

That still beats the time my cat bit me in the dick.

 

[AndyFromMonday]

I woke up with my head in the sink standing on the toilet. The water was running so it felt as if I was drowning. I felt marginally decent so I tried standing up only to end up puking everything I ate in that past week. I shouldn't drink.

 

[flyingwithsharks]

One of these landing on my chest.

Now they are NOT the man eaters people think they are however they are ugly bastards and having that staring at me when it woke me up scared the shit out of me.

WHAT IN THE ETERNAL FUCKMOTHERING HELL IS THAT THING?!

Kill it with fire. Seriously. Fucking hell.

 

[WorldCritic]

Waking up to the sounds of Kratos pulling someone apart. I open my eyes to see one of my friends sitting in my room playing God of War II on my PS2. He looks over at me and says, "Hey, your door was unlocked."

He wasn't allowed anywhere near my room after that.
