scarily vivid dream

I had a dream last night that I was running a race with a few other people.  I'm not sure who these people were, just random people.  It was a long race and we were all running and I happened to be in second place.  I remember calling to the first place person to tell them I was going to wait for the others and then out of nowhere I feel this grip on one of my legs, a death grip like someone was holding me there and would not let me go.  I remember starting to scream in my dream because it hurt so much and who ever had this hold on me would not let go.  I finally woke up but the dream is still with me. . .

Re: scarily vivid dream

  • Ugh, I hate dreams like that. I have really weird, vivid dreams too and once every couple of months I wake up screaming. One time I dreamed I was being attacked by a giant spider and I started screaming . . . and J grabbed me and he started screaming and then I screamed again. It took a while for things to calm down.

    I hate it . . . Sometimes I can make myself realize it's just a dream, but it's hard.

  • Yiiiikes that sucks!

    I seriously have insane dreams on an almst nightly basis. Last week I had a bad one, and I kept trying to wake up but whatever was happening in my dream wouldnt let me and I felt like I couldnt breath! I finally woke up gasping for air!

    oh I hate this.  Some people tell me that they can "control" their dreams and wake up whenever they want but I can't do this and sometimes I don't even realize it is a dream until I am fully awake.

  • uuuuuuuuuuh! Sorry, sweetie! I hate those! I have dreams like that, too. N doesn't understand, because he usually has good dreams where he is flying or doing something amazing and super-heroish. I just have terrible, scary, or really weird dreams. The only good dream I've ever had in my life was a sex dream I had in college. I cried when I woke up from that one. . .
  • Add me to the list of people that have horrible vivid bad dreams.  I have night terrors often but almost on a nightly basis I have an awful dream I cant wake up from.  I am trapped and cant breathe.  I can never go back to sleep either because they send me into a panic attack.  Sucks.  Im sorry you had to have one of those. 
  • Ugg that's awful. I hate when I have a nightmare like that.

    They were bad when I was a child but have grown much worse since my mothers death.  They usually involve her in a less than flattering image that has haunted me for going on 9 years.  I cant shake them.  I wish I could.  Maybe I should talk about them to someone to make them go away........who knows.
  • I hate that!!!  I get them a lot when I'm really stressed, and it'll be when I'm not fully asleep so I'll see something going on in the dream and it'll still kind of look like it's happening in the room with me.  When I do wake up I can still "see" the dream and literally freak out.  I've scared DH so many times with that.  It takes me a long time to realize that it was a dream, sometimes it's just so hard to tell.  Ugh, I hope you don't have any more of those dreams!
