Have you ever had a nightmare where you just wouldnt wake up?

i have had alot of nightmares (for some reason). Lately they can be quite terrifying and i can't wake up. I have died a few times and then i'll wake up. But the pain is just as real as in reality. Or so it seems. So my question is: Have you ever had a nightmare where you wouldn't wake up?

Yea i do get nightmares like that :( Somedays where I have spent a lotta energy at work with working out logic and code, I dream at night as me being caught in an infinite loop!! :) how silly is that. And it really does seem infinite! I guess i can relate to 'limbo' phase as explained in inception movie ;) Caught up in a loop for the rest of your life!

I had my dreams before when I was on my struggle days where in our place was attach by monsters, a `manananggal` in our term (half boddied women with bat wings who eats people). I`m really scared with this type of monster when I was young I was so surprised that in my stress days when I was on college, I end up always dreaming about it. I end up once dreaming about it and in my dream I was fighting against that monster attacking me but end up victorious because I was able to stub that monster with a big rosary but when I struggled also so that I could wake up. I felt myself screaming so I could wake up. Good thing my mom was there and she woke me up confused why I`m moaning in my sleep. So I told her about my dream and she end up laughing at me.

I have never had that happen, but I have read about it. I believe these kinds of nightmares are called "night terrors", when you can't wake up and can't make sounds, etc... Sounds so terrifying! I guess I am lucky that I don't usually have bad dreams of any kind. Sadly though, I rarely remember any dreams at all, so not even the good ones. :(

Oh gosh yes, I have had several instances where during the nightmare in itself I would tell myself, don't worry it is just a bad dream. Then when I finally wake up it left me feeling like it was so real. From what I understand, when you have repeated bad nightmares, you are subconsciously worried about something. Like insecurity of a financial situation or lost of a job. Good luck to you and I see you are fairly new to myLot - welcome aboard and happy myLotting.

I have a lot of bad dreams but never a nightmare like i use to when i was younger. In my dreams its really hard to be terrified. And lately ive been dreaming some messed up stuff. But im always able to wake myself in a dream i cant remember having dreams were i wasn't able to wake up
