hehe if that one freaked you out, I dare not share the others.
I've had dreams that terrified me so bad I'd try ANYTHING to keep from falling asleep again.
I also suffer from sleep paralysis, which often ads to the experience (in a very negative way).
And half the time, I don't know what I dreamed and what was real.
This - while not really a dream - was THE MOST creepiest experience I've ever had while trying to sleep:
I wake up (for real), and I feel this weight over top of me, holding me down to the bed. It feels like something wrapped tightly around me, pulling down hard.
With my right hand, I start feeling around, and find this warm, smooth object...as I begin feeling it more and more, I begin to feel hair, and realize it is skin, and that what I am feeling is an arm. But it's not my arm

...at this point, my heart is pounding, I'm scared completely stiff, can't even think about moving.
Somehow I muster up the courage to carefully lift this arm off of me, and while doing so, I learn that it is MY arm. My left arm fell completely asleep, so it was totally unaware of the other arm touching it, so I couldn't feel it at all.
And I don't know if you've ever had a limb go completely numb, but when you touch it with the other one - since you cannot feel it being touched, only feel touching it - it DOES NOT feel like your arm/limb at ALL.
How I didn't have a heart attack and/or nervous stroke that night, I don't know lol.
It's really neat reading about people's dreams. I think dreams are so incredibly fascinating...sometimes they seem more real than what we typically think of as reality. Always makes me wonder....what if the dreams we have are what's real, and what we're living now is actually the made-up stuff.
Thoughts like this often catch my mind for hours at a time, and it usually ends up in me thinking the rest of the world is nothing more than my imagination. I'm still not sure if you (the rest of the world) are or not...maybe some day
