Had something similar where I had a terrible nightmare about some humanoid thing and woke up as it grabbed me.
I remember feeling a huge relief as I opened my eyes to see my bedroom and be in bed, only to tilt my chin and see the thing sitting on my chest, which then lept at my face.
I woke up for real, almost falling out of bed shouting expletives.
That's the only time I have had a dream (or sub-dream?) so lucid it felt no different to real life ( for that brief moment).
- ajuc 6y agoI've had very similar experience - a dream that turned into horror (I was visiting family when I remembered my grandpa is dead and they all turned into zombies and started pursuing me) - then I "woke up", sit up in my bed (and my room mate seen me sit up with open eyes), I looked at him, and he turned into a zombie and attacked me, then I woke up for real, already siting. It was very scary. It might have something to do with the fact that we were studying before an exam late into night and I drank about 2 liters of pretty strong tea to keep studying (and fell asleep anyway eventually).
- whywhywhywhy 6y agoI've had multi-level deep false awakenings before, 3-4 levels or so. But a few weeks ago I actually had one that was maybe around 20 consecutive false awakenings, waking up something scary happening then waking up again repeated well into the double digits. Freaked me out a lot because normally when I'm having a nightmare I know how to force myself awake instantly but that wasn't working that time. Honestly started to wonder if I'd died towards the end of it and had to pull myself together a bit when I did wake up for real.
