It happened to me once and that is what happened, i couldn't move but you still hallucinate a bit because your senses become somewhat stronger, any little sound scared the shit out of me. "

Again, doesn't happen to me. All I get is the inability to do anything.

Think I had something like this when I was younger. I used to be sick, and often vomiting at night for some reason. And some times I remember having this weird "dream" of the room being larger, but I saw it from a different perspective, so it looked smaller. It also felt weird, can't really explain how.

@Einherjan: Iunno what's so bad about hallucinating a deranged horse.

I used to get this all the time.  Turned out to be caused by my sleep apnea -- being deprived of oxygen when I would stop breathing right in the middle of  REM sleep would cause me to wake up in a half-awake state.  Now that I've had my apnea treated, I haven't had this in years.

I didn't know what this was so I had to look it up on wikipedia. That seems really scary. Can you speak at all while having it?

Never had that, but I have become conscience of when I'm dreaming at times though.

My favorite dreams, and I've been remembering them recently due to the nature of a summer schedule, are the ones that I don't realize i'm sleeping yet have an adventure.
For example, maybe a week ago or so, I had a dream I had something that was essentially a dimension hopper.  Trick was that I had no control to which one I went to and I'd take over the body of myself in that dimension.  It sounds like a sci-fi story, but experiencing it when you think it's real is quite scary and a bit panicy.  Great dream though.  I'd give it a 9.4.


When I was quite younger though, I had this recurring dream that I hated.  Quite literally all I remember is that it was from a floating camera view point essentially, and I saw a slightly titled platform with a pyramid geometric shape moving towards another  undefined shape.  Abstract colors of pinks and purples.

I don't know why, but that scared me so bad.  It wasn't even like a nightmare because even when I woke up I still was in huge fear and crying.  Even at the time I knew I had no reason to be afraid and that the dream itself had no characteristics of a scary dream.  That being said, it was almost like pure fear.  I'm sort of having worried emotions writing about it now for some reason.  It's weird.

* Typically i find that when your a kid, you'll have dreams about straight up scary thigns.  When you get older, you have dreams about scarier situations.  And while my dreams are of a fantasy nature, they're mostly based in a realistic world.
