Majin said:Possibly. Were you one of the divers or just observing from some place? In my experiences it is always been me personally in that situation. Feel free to e-mail me personally. I'd like to know more about what you dreamt and what sensations you felt waking up and after you were fully awake. Anyone else with their own stories can e-mail me as well if you'd like to talk more about this. I know I would!
Hrm. Okay, I'll try to give you as many details as I can. Let me preface that though with the fact that this happened well over a decade ago, so some details are pretty fuzzy.
The first thing I remember lucidly (as in my first conscious moment) was of the divers. There were two of them and they were swimming downwards. I very well could have been one of them (and simply watching from outside my body ... I've done that before) or alternatively could have been another diver swimming with them.
Then there were aliens there (very similar in look to Sahaguin from DnD) who captured the divers in a net and dragged them down. By now I was defintely a diver as I remember being caught in the net and freaking out.
Obviously this dream was really a nightmare, and by now I would have woken up. In fact, its roughly around this point I realize it IS a dream.
So I try to wake myself up (who wants to sit through a nightmare right?) I try to open my eyes, and I kind of ... "lose focus" I guess is the best way to put it. I stop existing (or at least experiencing) the dream, and instead see only darkness, as if my eyes were closed (which they were)
I try to force them open but they refuse to go. I struggle with it until I get tired, and reluctantly go back to the dream.
Now at this point, I know its a dream. Nonetheless I find myself getting scared witless as the nightmare progresses. I try to wake myself up a few more times but with similar success.
The dream progresses and eventually I DO wake up. I can't remember if it was through my own efforts or if the dream ended on its own. Anyway, lets just say that I remember this nightmare for two reasons. One is its the only lucid dream I've ever had. And two, its one of the scariest dreams I've ever had.
I woke up terrified, with my heart racing. Helped ya out?
