What is your most interesting experience waking up from a dream?

I’ve wakened myself yelling. I’ve woken up kicking, too.

I’ve woken up in sweat while my heart was beating like crazy. All I could think was that a semi-truck was about to hit me. Took me a few minutes to calm down and be able to get back to sleep. Very weird and scary.

One time, when I was about 12 or 13, we went to Myrtle Beach and were staying at a hotel on the way down there. In my sleep, I actually removed the headboard from the wall (it must not have been attached too well), and was hugging it to my body. When my family tried to wake me up, I started yelling, “No, you can’t have it!” I have no idea what I was dreaming about, but my family was greatly amused at my expense.

Today is the day for this question. Sometimes, I wake up incredibly aroused from all these intense orgies I have in my dreams. But today, I think something went wrong with all the sex and secret society stuff in my dream and I still can’t shake it off. I don’t really remember a lot of the dream: flashes of women having sex with me, my mother and I fighting over photographs that don’t exist in this world, etc. My dreams really affect my reality.

@mazingerz88 I thank you for asking this question.
@Simone_De_Beauvoir I thank you for answering this question.

I will never forget it.

I woke up hornier than usual.

The most interesting to me is when I wake up from a falling dream still all stiff from the jerk of the “impact”.

I was on IV nutrition and a nurse had told me that, if I ever felt light-headed or anything, I might be having a drop in blood sugar and I should drink some orange juice.

One night I’m lying in bed and just start feeling extremely weak – I couldn’t even call out or anything but I remember attempting to get someone’s attention by kind of gasping the words “orange juice,” the next thing I knew I was waking up sputtering. I think the whole thing was a dream but I’m still not positive. Eek.

I woke up in a dream seven times before actually waking. Each time I was convinced I was awake. When I finally did wake up I was really disoriented.

I used to have dreams that I run into the back of a white Ford, older model work van and die….so far so good.;)

@reba Are you sure you’re not Agent Cobb?

@marinelife Yes this happened to me too, waking up from a dream, add to this the kicking motion before the stiffing movement.
@erichw1504 a click on the great question button will be good but welcome anyway.
@reba it seems we are not the only one who experienced this after Christopher Nolan came up with his Inception movie.
@Blackberry LOL

I remember waking up from an afternoon dream that I do not recall the specifics anymore but I do remember turning the tv on and while watching Elton John sing This Is My Song, I cried and cried and cried…

I have this recurring dream where i’m being nursed at the alter of the breast as a baby. Now, the interesting part is I wake up to find my head being pummeled by the wife, usually with a blunt object. I wonder what I was doing as I “slept” to warrant such violence…...

I have horribly vivid dreams. But the funniest ‘wake-up’: In my dream, I was helping my mother put away the groceries and I had a big bag of marshmallows in my hands and having trouble putting them up in the cupboard. I burst out laughing when I woke up. I was on my knees, with my pillow in my hands, banging it up against the wall.

I often wake up spazzing from a dream where I’m falling, about to crash in something or have something crash into me. I believe this is fairly common with a lot of people.
Not that it was particularly interesting, but I’ve woken from some dreams while either laughing or crying. A bit bizarre. More laughing than crying though. In the crying ones it’s just tears running.

@erichw1504 possibly?

Hearing a male, authoritative voice quoting a Bible verse.
Hearing my mother’s voice directing me. Both were very clear and it was really quite exciting!

Being alive. Yeps.
