Do your nightmares ever seem so real that they literally make you jump out of your sleep? I am sad to report that last night was the first time I actually fell out of my bed and hurt my arm after waking up from a bad dream.

See, I don't like bees, and in my dream I remember brushing up against a bush and a huge swarm of bees suddenly came out of it and started stinging my back, causing me to *jump* (I had impressive air time) onto the floor.

Unfortunately, instead of landing on the soft carpet, I hit a pile of books. :(

It hasn't happened to me since I was a wee lad but yes, I've had that type of experience.

My wife used to wake up having nightmares because we used to watch those forensic police shows on discovery channel. I had to ban such shows so that I could get a better nights rest.
Now she only gets half asleep because she is constantly getting up and checking on the baby, and listening for her cries so that she doesn't wake up our boy.

I have woken up screaming, falling out of bed.
On a couple of occasions.
It sucks and the fear lingers for many minutes after waking.

huh my lord yes.

I had one just last week that had me startle and scream out. I get bad, bad dreams every so often.

Last night's was just plain odd. Apparently I went back to college and was living in a dorm and I needed a break so Josh and Charlie came to pick me up for dinner. I was still pregnant too. Have no idea what that was all about.

Nothing like that, but I once got totally wasted on about the first weekend of a semester, got out of my bed that night, and pissed all over my neat stack of textbooks. Does that count?

Our pug has night terrors, or something like that. I don't exactly know what to call it, but about every 3 days or so, he just starts screaming / howling uncontrollably, and it always starts when he's alseep. It happens sometimes during the day when I'm home, and I go over and try to control him, and he just looks absolutely terrified... can't really stop easily. He just did it an hour ago.

So I sleep lighter than I used to, because I always wind up being the one who goes and quiets him down at 2am or whenever it hits him. And they last over a minute, so you HAVE to get up.

I think we've talked about this before. My lab does the same thing, but the dogs sleep in the bedroom with us, so one of us just lifts our head and says, "Loon, SHADDUP!"

Yeah, there's no sorta vocal way to stop it. I did once throw a paperback book at his crate in a semi-drunk sleepy stupor, and that did it, but I felt guilty. Now I have to get up and phsyically close his jaw to keep the noise down. Then he quits.

I friggin WISH there was a way to just yell from the bed.

it's so weird... what in the hell would make a dog howl in their sleep? I just don't get it. I get all the panting and "running" in their sleep, but howling? And totally oblivious at that. You look over at the dog bed, Loon's sitting up, nose in the air, howling like a banshee, and she's ASLEEP.

Once when I was backpacking and staying in hostels I rolled over during the night and fell out of bed....a top bunk.

The crash woke everyone else up but I wasn't hurt. Unconciousness is almost as good as drunkeness for harmless hard landings, it seems.

Gordo's eyes are wiiiide open once he starts. As you approach him, he's cringing, recoiling in terror, all while howling / screaming. Guaranteed to freak out company.

oh that reminds me years ago, i dreamt i was in a fight with someone and this was when i had a daybed... so i actually ended up punching the metal rods on the bed thinking i was really fighting and woke up with my knuckles bleeding. that was pretty bad.

i don't like it when i have dreams that seem real, that shit scares me because there's been a few times where i dreamt about something and it came true.

I usually have nightmares within 10 minutes of falling asleep and then I wake up all freaked out.

I remember this one I had that seemed like a movie and there were these 2 buildings of college students and they were rivals/enemies and one was all into gangster movies and the other was into samurai movies (I was in that one)and the gangster students took a bunch of samurai swords and came over into the other building and started slaughtering the other students. I woke up when I got caught trying to hide in the ceiling by one of the gangsters.

haha... i went to high school with her.

i have nightmares every once in a while. they're usually about family and close friends... like, i'm being chased by killers with machetes and my family and friends are in a safe place thumbing their noses at me while i'm being chopped to bits. or the one where my mom sold me to a sex slave ring disguised as day camp. (why, at age 29, i'd be in day camp, i have no f'ing idea) i've woken up crying and flip-flopping in the bed.

i was really concerned that, after my wife left me, i'd have nightmares & shit. while there were a couple months where i basically didn't sleep, my sleep has been peaceful otherwise.

I have fallen out of bed several times during the last five years: escaping a dream tarantula, a snake, and one unknown. My wife occasionally has to wake me 'cause I'm moaning (screaming and yelling WITHIN the dream). Despite ANY nightmares, my dream life has always been vastly better than my waking life, accessing feelings and situations superior to normal. I have so much dream content that I long ago stopped trying to keep a complete dream journal, and now only list situations, subjects/objects, and themes. My scariest dreams are incredible-science-fiction-exorcist-type. The most recent dream I needed to be awakened from, had an unknown-intelligence pulling from my subconscious personal and terrifying scenes of brutality and violence that it tried to make me watch on a screen. HOW is the brain able to generate these graphically-enhanced adventures while asleep?

There was one dream where...well I don't know what the situation was, but for some reason I found myself leaping out of an exploding railroad car. I woke up and my heart was pounding mighty heavily.
