Reading lots about lucid dreaming an experience from my childhood came to me. So wondering if anyone on here knows anything about this kind of phenomenon.
I woke up in my bed, from a nightmare, crying. My mom and dad woke up and came down to my bed and carried me into the living room. I recall them getting me and being there. At the same time i was still dreaming. I recall a terrible feeling of something inside my mouth eating me up from the inside, the feeling of hopelessness, it was a feeling like i would die right there, I’ve never felt anything that terrible ever, an unique and dreadful feeling. My parents told me while all this were going on, they could speak to me, but that i seemed like i was 3somewhere else".
Hope someone here knows something about this kind of “dreaming”, maybe someone else has had this kind of experience!
I think you were in the same state as sleep walking. It very well could also be called a “night terror”, but I remember this one time when I was a kid I woke up out of my bed, but I still remember dreaming at the same time. I walked downstairs and kept asking about pancakes and the flinestones towards my parents and sisters. They just started laughing at me and I felt stupid and went upstairs and passed out. My eyes were apparently squinted the whole time and my voice was very slurred. My parents told me the same thing you mentioned, that I seemed like I was “somewhere else”. They said they tried to tell me that I was just sleep walking, but I ignored them and continued my questions on pancakes, lol. In my defense, I was really excited about the next day at school because we were making pancakes in class. I have no idea where the flinestones came from, though.
Once I woke up outside in my parents car. Before I went back into the house I went around back and picked up the 18 St. Bernard puppies and carried them back around to the garage.
It was raining (in real life). I can remember walking around the house with my arms outstretched like I was actually carrying the puppies (I could see them in my mind). I remember picking them up off the patio and setting them down in the garage.
I don’t remember going into the house but my mom heard me coming back in and came to check on me. She said I was soaking wet and covered in grass. When she asked me what I was doing I told her I was putting the puppies up and I went back to bed. (of course, we didn’t have any puppies)
Another time I was walking in the hallway at the top of the stairs. I knew where I was in actuality but in my mind I had to carefully place my feet on the boards because the ship was breaking up underneath me and I could see the waves sloshing through. If I didn’t step just right I would fall into the ocean below.
Once I got across the top of the stairway, I knew I was safe and continued on to my room. Each time I was fully aware of my actions but I could not stop myself.
