Escaping False Awakenings And Scary Dreams

[chrisp]

Just had 7 false awakenings yesterday. I'm really thankful for getting out of the loop each time.

[loof]

I don’t ever wanna have a lucid dream again it was terrifying

This happened to me the other night, I had 2 false awakenings in a row, it was like inception, it can be very scary but this is solid advice!

Trying to read is an easy check. The text cannot stay the same and might be interpreted in your mind (left side of the brain can't read in sleep). Just look away and look back.

I'm so scared of false awakenings that i don't even want to sleep now...
It was a scary false awakening experience i had last night...and don't know if I'm gonna sleep tonight.

My mind is a bit nastier. If I start getting wise, it simply changes the rules regarding what's "off' about reality. So I have to hunt for whatever is "off" if I wish to verify on the next round. And until I find the clue, the new rules will still apply.

Sort of a dilemma. False awakenings for me usually revolve around some unseen disaster in the background, the destruction of parts of whatever building I'm in, and the inability to leave my immediate assigned dwelling place.

I can only lucid until I try to leave the area to which I'm confined. The minute I try to escape, the dream resets. Escape is forbidden for some reason.

Last night i had 10 false awakenings in a row. everytime i go to the bathroom and brush my teeth it always reset

this just happened to me, when this happened i always tried to scream as loud as i can and move my body forcefully in that dream, this is quite helped me to woke up and reduced the layers of the false awkenings

I had like 5+ false awakenings last night.

Never knew what this was called although it's happened multiple times until today, where I was so freaked out I looked it up. It was not a loop however, it was one false awakening where I woke up to my mother and grandmother trying to get the devil to possess me and as soon as I started to feel weird and a sense of dread, my mother told me I look like a completely different person. I woke up facing the same way looking exactly where they were, uncovered by my blanket and covered in goosebumps.

I had a false awakening like years ago
it is the lucid nightmare within lucid nightmare
I was walking in the mall with my mom(?) suddenly the building started shaking. The first floor started blacking out. The space seem warped the escalator I am on is stretching. Everyone’s face around me is blurred and then they all disappeared. In panic, I was running up the escalator to escape the black out that was coming up floor by floor. I feel so terrible that I thought “this is a dream” then close my eye.

I opened my eye I feel refresh as if I am awake but NO I’m not in my room. What is see is so clear I still remember till this day(as if it is not a dream). I am on chair on student uniform. I try to move but I can’t. There is no rope my body just won’t move. I was in the all white room the chair is white the little table is white
. In front of me there is a black door alongside the window that lead to nothing— It was all black I can see nothing behind. The door somehow was slowly opening. The chill ran down my spine so hard I feel my heart rate going up and I for the last time close my eye then wake up.

Thank you so much for this. I absolutely HATE false awakenings, I’ve had them a few times (luckily quite spaced out) and I recently had one a few nights ago. And it’s really annoying and scary in it’s own way because I feel like I CANT wake up, because it’s just a loop. But one thing I do realise sometimes, it’s heavier to get out of bed in the dream, sometimes I haven’t been able to before it just loops again. But I have done reality checks, and I think that did wake me up, then after that I did one last reality check and pinched myself (which is just so I can check if I feel the pain). But a long time while I was having these dreams, I thought I was alone, until someone told me they had them too and I did some research. But next time I have one of these dreams, I’m going to try do more reality checks. One thing I have noticed, every time I have these dreams, all I want to do is wake up, so I doubt I’ll continue with the lucid dream. I really hope I don’t have another one anytime soon though

I had a nightmare dream where every time I tried to escapre the nightmare id wake up in my room then slwely ease back to the nightmare I actually was able to escape it after multiple attempts to wake up from said both nightmare and false awakening just flaw it scared the lving daylights out of me I woke up at 2:00am breathing hard scared  very scared  then I feel back asleep then normal dreaming cycle as it usually is for me it was very weird.

It's true, i figured this out on my own and it works. It's still absolutely insane though.

You can get lucid dreams and False awakenings by having a stress or anxiety or so. BUT the big question is, if you dont have any stress or anxiety and you get lucid or false awakenings most people of my country called it "Devil disturb" If you dont pray before you go to sleep the devil can disturb your dreams or even make it scary but if you are scared it will get to the level when you cant escape from your dreams.

[multicolorgamer]

My false awakenings are terrifying… one I know I’m in a dream I pinch myself every time I wake up in the dream and then panic every time I don’t feel it… and then it repeats till I actually wake…

[Commonaadmi]

I pinch myself, if no pain and sensation then u r dreams my friend
