I've had that a couple of times. Frightening, especially the suffocating feeling.

I had a dream that I was going on trial for a murder I didn't commit, and they were going to sentence me to death. I kept trying to tell my parents that I was going to die, but they didn't understand. I started hoping/praying for a life sentence rather than being put to death.

I had a nightmare a few weeks ago where I dreamed the network monkeys had reallocated my static IP address to the DHCP pool :Q

Used to happen to me all the time.

Now it only happens about once a month or so. You'd think I would be used to it by now, but I'm not. It sucks the big one.

Man I had a dream just about like your's awhile back, FREAKED me OUT.

For days I wasn't sure if it really happend and I had blocked it out, or if it WAS just a dream. After thinking about it long enough, I realized that parts of it didn't add up. But let me tell you, it was WAY WEIRD wondering if I was really a KILLER and had blocked the memory out!

The strangest dream I can remember happened when I was about eight or so. We'd just gone skiing that day, and I dreamed that I was on the slopes. I going pretty good when I suddenly lost control and carened off the edge of the cliff. I was pretty high up and I could remember looking at the ground get closer and closer. Then bam, I hit it, and right when I hit the ground in my dream, I fell out of my bed. Exact second. I was pretty freaked out until I realised that I wasn't hurt and my bed was right next to me.

In the summer, I had a dream that I killed a guy because he took something of mine (I think it was a cup that I got from a resturant that I value absolutely zero). I was fighting with him in the street in front of my house when he just dropped dead without any serious blows or anything. I though WTF? And then I was terrified that I was probably going to spend the rest of my life in prison. I woke up right then and looked at the clock and noticed that I was two hours late for work. I thought my boss was going to kill me.

Is it when you're dreaming and it feels real... but you're paralyzed? Gawd, that sucks @$$. One dream I recall, I was trying to fight of some mysterious creepy/scary masked man from my house and I punched at him and suddenly I became paralyzed as he lunged and attacked me with a knife that was inches from my face... then I woke in a cold sweat.

Another time I actually dreamt that I woke up and couldn't move... I tried to move but nothing!! Felt like forever! :Q
I've had horrendous nightmares where you know you're in the nightmare and you wanna wake up... WAKE UP!!! But you can't open your eyes! I've sometimes had dreams where I dream I wake up only to end up back in the nightmare. Friggin A!!!! It's like one of those horror movies! Another one I "woke" and tried to open my eyes to see... but opened and saw nothing. That sucked majorly...

What I hate is when your dreaming, but during the dream you almost seamlessly slide into waking.

Like one night, I had a dream that a demon was sitting in my corner staring at me, then I slipped awake and that corner felt unusually dark, so I was scared to freakin death, and couldnt get back to sleep for a week till I had finally convinced myself it was just a dream.

Weirdest thing I ever did/experienced was....well, IIRC, I was dodging things...and suddenly, something was coming right for my chest and I threw myself to my right out of the way..........................and landed on my ass in a pile of junk on the floor next to my bed. Damn, did that hurt. I just sat there and laughed for a while, then crawled back in bed and fell asleep, somewhat bruised. :eek: :D

Yes the dreams one has when you're falling and you suddenly wake up and jump! They are freaky!

MANY time's I've had a dream where it starts to thunder and the thunder is LOUD! I wake up and hear thunder outside that is (was) in the dream! I've also had dreams that end with knocking or a doorbell only to wake up with someone at the door. They are strange too!

Cheers!

I was going to make a post about my dream from last night. You will not know the characters but if you read it enough you will understand.

So I was visiting my Aunt and Uncle and my cousins(who live in Tyler,TX) but for some odd reason they now lived in Starkville,MS(where MS State University my old uni is located at). So I was visiting them with like a fvcking church group or something and I got separated from them. I ended up in the apartment of a girl I knew in High School that graduated in 96 when I was a 7th grader... I was making out with her and I realized my wallet was missing. I found my wallet and looked through it. My Driver's license was missing but all my CC's were there. Then I noticed a note next to my wallet that said "I took your ID and call this number if you want it back). They number's had area codes of 662(area code of Starkville,MS) and 205(Bham,ALs area code). So I called one of the numbers and they guy told me to meet him at a gas station. I met him there and he said "give me back my sh!t and I will give you back your ID). I said I do not know who in the hell you are and I have not taken anything from you. Then this cop that was in the gas station talking to the cashier said give him back his stuff. I said I don't even know who he is! Then the guy who stole my id pointed a gun at me and shot it! I fvcking dipped out the back and the cop caught up with me. He said man it was just blanks and we were playing a joke on you for talking to satan.

I swear that was my dream and then I woke up. WTF caused that one. Anyone want to intepret that bad boy?

Oh god, I hate those. There are several dreams that I have repeatedly, where I think nothing changes. Just, sometimes I think I get farther into it then others.

Theres one where it always ends at the same spot and for some reason I'm in some weird space dimension where there is nothingness around me and I'm crying. I could feel my hands reach up to my face to wipe away the tears, and then my eyes open and my hands are just about to reach my eye and wipe away tears that are there.

What really pisses me off is when I'm awake, but still in the dream and I can actually think of the things I'm doing in the dream and make choices and yet I don't realize I'm dreaming.

Ok another dream was after I finished reading a book about serial killers for my JS class. I got killed and beaten in that dream by about 5 different killers. Dahmber got me, John Wayne Gacy, Rafael-Resendiz Rameriz, Charles Manson, and then my Brother??? That was a weird ass dream too. Why did these serial killers kill me and then my brother killed me?

In one of my dreams, I was apparently dating an italian girl (I'm asian :confused;) and walked her to the door of her apartment and told her goodnight. As I walked through the corridor towards the elevator, the elevator light goes on and a I hear a ding go off. Her father in his 50's wearing a suit walks out of the, looks at me, and talks to me about something which I dont remember. He proceeded to pull a gun out of his jacket pocket and shoots me 5 times (yeah i counted) and hands me the gun as I'm standing there.

The most interesting part of this was I felt the bullets go through me and venting of "life" out of my body.

The usual dreams I have is of going to school and talking to friends
