I had a scary dream. Has this ever happened to you :/?

Question

In my dream i woke up [still dreaming]

i tried to get up, but i couldnt move my arms, or legs, and it was like i wasnt dreaming, but i was, but then, when i couldnt move my arms or legs, i tried to scream, but i couldn't, it was only a soft little scream. Then, another night, i had the same dream, but i woke up [in my dream] in my parents bed. i couldnt move my arms or legs, and couldnt scream, and couldn't open my eyes, because there was this very sticky stuff on them.

Also, i have had dreams that i was in a PE class, and when we had to do laps, my legs wouldnt work, and i couldnt run. Then i had another dream that i wa sin a cemetery, and these zombies were chasing me, and i couldnt run.

alsoo, i have been in a dream, and when i was sleeping, i realized i was in a dream [most of the times, really scary dreams] and i tried really hard to open my eyes, but i couldnt open them, and when i was trying to open my eyes, i knoew conscioully what was going on!

every happen to you?

Help?

Answer 1

it has happend to me twice... well, my advice to u is not to put ur hands on ur chest when u r lying down, cos the pressure leads to u having nightmares... sth lik that...

Answer 2

Sounds silly but works, try sleeping with a bible under your pillow, they can rid nightmares. Sometimes when you can't move your limbs or even scream, it can be a relation to a demonic dream.

Answer 3

In response to Nichi's answer, our brains are NOT asleep when we're dreaming. in fact, they're in full drive, working like crazy. that's why sometimes we have crazy dreams and thoughts.

and we're not dead when we're sleeping..... lol that girl is whacko.

but anyways, yes, this has happened to me, where I couldnt move or scream, and things were coming after me.

It's freaky :/

But youre definitely not alone :)

Answer 4

yes, it happens to me once and it was because i was really tired. u should sit on meditation and try to relax but don't worry it's not a bad sign.

Answer 5

I've definately had dreams where something was happening and no matter how hard I tried I couldn't move. Then when I try to wake up it's like I can't. I think everyone has these dreams because in some subconcious part our mind our brain is trying to tell us something, what that something is though is a matter of interpretation. Long and short of it is that you're not alone in this type of dream scenario. Do some research to see if you can find information on this type of dreaming or perhaps an explanation for this dream. Good luck.

Answer 6

i hate those dreams. they are called lucid dreams. you can learn to control them

Answer 7

When you dreaming during the REM state you body is paralyzed.  This is normal.  It happens to everyone.  If you should wake up quickly then it may take from a few seconds to a minute or so before you can move.

What I would suggest if  you find you know you are dreaming, then calm yourself down, look around, and you will find you are in complete control in the dream.  You have the freedom in the dream to do anything you want.  This is lucid dreaming.

The dream where you awakened in your parents bed with sticky stuff on them is interesting.  Freud would probably relate this to something sexual.

The other dreams seems to suggest you feel that you can not control certain event in your life and you are impotent to do anything about them.

Answer 8

yes... it happened to me also...

we can't think if we are as sleep because

when we are sleeping... we are dead...

because our brain is asleep too...
