Have you been literally trapped in a dream?

I'm serious. It hasn't happened lately but for a while I had this recurring "dream" where I felt the need to escape into reality but couldn't. I was awake but my body was totally immobile; my legs and arms felt chained to the bed as i fought and screamed but there was no sound. Not until the nightmare was over did I awake with the same intensity as if someone were underwater until they lost air and swims to surface.

 

Ive had something similar occur to me... Mix of a nightmare and sleep paralysis.

 

yes. i think i've had that too. several times.
nothing to worry about =] maybe there was some underlying anxiety in your life.. i know for me that's what it was.

 

yep .. it has happened to me .. infact im stuck in it right now .. like that movie waking life by richard linklater.


I had a dream that someone was calling me on a cell phone and i answered and they said "you fucked it up .." and it was one of gods minons .. then .. I started to have a heart attack and died .. and woke up in this reality ...

 

i can relate in both sleep paralis and like in night mears were you know ur asleep tho you cant wake up even when you try the only thing to di is ride the wave out utill you awaken,

 

I always get kicked out of my dreams at the best part

 

Its like your mind awakens before your body... Your still out of it from the dreaming and being in deep REM sleep, and at the same time, your body hasnt "woken up" yet, so your paralyzed, leaving to feel your still in a fucked up dream.

 

I've gotten that before when I was younger...you get this dream that you KNOW is a dream but you can't wake up no matter how hard you try?

If you have enough control over the dream then just get yourself to yell "Wake Up!" Demand the dream to let go of you immediately, and that's an effective way to do it (at least for me).

At the same time, OBE's happen this way
