I saw a headless dead body crawling towards my door and was already close and was stretching its hand to reach out to my feet..I shouted and banged the door so hard and the bolt fell off, so I hard to carry my bags, boxes, stove , gallon filled with water, anything heavy just to help block the door.. and I went back to sleep.
I heard another sound again I open my eyes and i felt something cold on my feet behold the headless body was lying accross my feet on the down end of my bed and my door was wide open again, I shouted and I woke up again but this time for real and my door was slightly open and some wind trying to blow it wide open, I was sweating so bad..and I had to sleep with the lights on through out the night.

It was the headless horseman from sleepy hollow

Yes, almost everyone has had such dreams.

I even had one this morning, matter of fact; where I dreamt I killed someone with my bare hands cos he impregnated my sister and I hid his body in the gutter. I was so terrified I began running away and his "ghost" was pursuing me. Mehn, the fear was just too real.
When I woke up, I was like "Thank God it's just a dream."

How many of us watched Leonardo di Caprio's "Inception". That movie is too missclasssy , well apparently all his movies are top notched. Anyway I had a flash back of the movie and that prompted me to put this up.

Have you ever had an experience in
which you couldn’t be sure whether
things were real or not? I am not
referring to normal dreams, day dreaming or sleepwalking. These particular ones I am referring to seem real at the time and then you wake up and realise that they weren’t. I mean experiences which are more deeply confusing

As a matter of fact very confusing!!

A false awakening may involve getting up, having breakfast, getting dressed, heading out for work... all the things you do every day on autopilot. It appears so real and solid to warrant
questioning its authenticity.

Indeed, you will only appreciate
how real a false awakening is when it happens to you - it reveals the remarkable capacity of the human brain to emulate and question reality.

Sometimes in such experiences you may be very convinced that you have done all sorts of things when really you have not. For example, you probably attended a dreaded interview and scaled through, only to find out it was a mirage.

The intriguing part about this is that you get the same feelings of tension and anxiety as you would have felt doing the same event in reality.

The red flag here is that you would have to go through that same feeling of tension and anxiety or feeling of pleasure and gratification all over again. Depending on what the dream was about. I prefer the latter tho

So let's discus!!

Share your experiences and your thoughts.

So many times i have had that dreadful dreams or what should i called it,struggling to wake up,exhausted,yelling and calling for help, its just a mystery and a thing i don't want at all,i made a pledge to stop. all this dream or reality of a thing coz i do get exhausted when i woke up,i had this type of dream again but this time my focus is to know who is the man/woman behind it,i remembered talking fiercely while being pinned down for the person to show and fight like a man,Lo and behold i saw my uncle looking fierce,after waking up with almost my last breath,i walked out of the room and here comes my uncle standing gallantly in front of me,at first i was so terrified but i walked up to him told him never to toy with me or else i will kill him,the wife and his two sons,I felt that wasn't enough so i went into the kitchen brought out a knife and stab him in his thigh(I really don't know what came over me)dad was just looking like a zombie, since then no more dream of struggling to wake up,i do sleep and wake up comfortably

I'm a VICTIM of false awakening ...since 2010 I've been suffering from it.but nobody really understand ..and mine is quite different because when it occurs I feel my life slipping away rapidly ...I always have this dream (not really a dream but don't know what else to call it ) which happens most times after staying awake for some time at night and sleeping back...everything would be the way it is ...the room or where ever I am would be the way it was before I slept .the person I slept with there if any would still be there (it's not really a dream but reality) then in that dream reality I'd be struggling to wake up but I can't ...I would be dying slowly in that dream .I would be begging the people there if someone slept on the bed with me to please wake me up because I can't wake myself or if I slept alone I'll be begging God and praying ...when I eventually wake up from the real sleep the room will still be very similar to way it was in that dream. but the people around will say they didn't hear me calling them that I was only sleeping soundly without disturbances. I'm emotional while writing this..I've never discussed this details with anyone ..I don't know if its medical condition.

The experience you are talking about is Dejavuu. We have that from time to time. Although I haven't read much about it tho.

Did you read my experience? Or did u watch the movie inception?

That's what I am talking about. Kinda strange only me and twaci have experienced such.

Mhizkel:
Hmmmm.Mine do come to pass and that really affects me a lot...Most times, i'm always afraid of sleeping for the fear of having another dream come true!

I've experienced it more than once.

Its really something else. Happens to my mom alot too.

Also, who can explain this phenomenon whereby you see something happen at the moment and there will be some kind of flashback as if you've seen that thing happen before. Then you predict correctly the next thing that would happen the next min seeing that incident unfolding right before your eyes. This is one part i still don't understand about me. Its like having a premonition of something happening and you can tell the next thing to happen. It became a thing of worry for me when my friends started avoiding me like i'm a wizard or something.

kinglekan:
Hahahaha!! How come we keep having similar experiences?

Actually I have experienced false awakening twice. The first one was when I was still around 8 or 9yrs I guess.

I was having a dream( I can't remember the content anymore), then I woke up in the same position I had slept. I got up from bed and wanted to pee, everything felt so so real.

Although I had a feeling something wasn't right but I couldn't tell. So I decided to go outside the house to pee. On getting outside I saw a gutter in the compound that wasn't there in reality but I didn't notice that slight change in detailing.

That was how I brought out John Thomas ooo

When I was done with the last drop. I woke up. You know the rest.

Well this might not necessarily apply though. Most of the time when we dream we really don't know we are dreaming.

But the focus of this thread is when you supposedly wake up from, for instance your "being chased by a ghost". Then you find yourself awake and breathing heavily thanking God it was just a dream, only for the police to come knock your door and say you actually murdered someone.

This second "layer" of dreaming can go as long as you being locked up in jail and awaiting execution, only for you to wake up and realise that you had a dream withing a dream.

You get the concept now right?
