I've recently taken to drawing scenes from some of my dreams.

I once thought that trumpie was elected and woke up saying what a dream. Then the realization hit me.

I had one where a famous author, most likely William Burroughs, but looking a lot like Vincent Price, without the mustache, in a dark suit, quoted a few lines from an obscure writer I had never heard of, but whom I clearly should have, and then he walked away, ignoring me completely. I woke up with the words ringing through my head. I googled them to see if it was real, but nothing came up.

bad dreams bad nights chasing old jobs old bosses trying to do better in my world gone bad

Had one where I thought I destroyed the universe. I woke up sweating, with my heart racing.

Many times. But the one that stands out, I don't remember the actual dream. Just when I awoke, I had an overwhelming feeling of dread and left my only recourse was to shot myself. Which I didn't do, but it was hard to resist the urge.

I was a teenager last my nightmare occurred, some sixty years ago. It occurred a number of times starting about four. I was four and in the back of a car going over the edge of a precipice off a mountain road in Wyoming. My stepfather at the time drove drunk, and we lived in Wyoming. My grandmother said he had driven off a mountain road and killed himself.

I once dreamed that nasty people were chasing me and i was scared. i thought I had eluded them but they caught me and threw a large dirty blanket over me. i started to scream and i woke up making an awful noise. my poor dog was on the bed with me and he jumped off the bed barking. i was really in a sweat. needless to say i was scared to go back to sleep. a little brandy was helpful. haha

I get serial dreams, repetitive dreams and predictable dreams.

When I’m going through severe stress, I wake crying and sometimes, gasping for breath; a few times, woke retching. Once woke from a nightmare that some creature was coming up over the foot of my bed: when I woke, I had my handgun pointed at where I dreamed it was. I had somehow got the gun out of the drawer, and its holster, before being aware of it. (I lived alone at the time; when others are here the gun is locked).

I dream every single time I fall asleep. They are rarely pleasant. I also wake up with sweat around my neck, too. There are times when I wake up with a jolt; usually reaching out at something. My dreams are very vivid. My husband laughs and tells me that my dreaming is really me in an alternative universe

One time I woke up with a gasp for breath and I reached out like something was a little towards my right in front of me. I was a little disoriented and startled or even slightly worried.

This happens to me pretty frequently. I almost always recall my dreams. I can almost always, while I am dreaming, realize that I am and change what is going on if I don’t like it or wake myself up. There have only been a handful of times I couldn’t. I have a reoccuring dream and I never have been able to bring myself out of it and I am terrified in the dream and wake up drenched in sweat and usually crying. I dream I am riding in a car. Its an older car. Seems like maybe a 50s model and I am in the front seat and a man is driving. I dont’ know who it is. I have never seen his face, only his hands. We are driving very fast towards a cliff and I am screaming and crying and begging him to stop but he has no reaction and I can’t get out of the car. Evenutally we go over and I wake up. I have been having this dream since I was about 16 years old probably 8-10 times a year.

When I have one there will be several in next few weeks. They resurrect memories i would rather bury for good. Psych doc has been trying for years but nothing stops them!

I remember one where my last memory before waking up was the feeling of being ripped apart. I spent at least half an hour just recovering from that. Another was when I just woke up... smiling. That was this morning, actually. The dreams which end in me waking up feeling happy are the dreams involving my old crushes/loves. I've had them a few times. They've never even involved anything romantic. It's just been me and her laughing and having fun together. It just leaves me waking up generally feeling good about the world.

I usually wake up in sweats, they have been classified as night terrors. They are usually so vivid I can recall every detail down to smells and feelings. I have had them so long I have grown a tolerance to them.
