    Sometimes before I fall asleep, I hallucinate a scene with my eyes closed while at the same time, still being awake realising that I am in bed. Then I will sort of walk into the scene and I will be asleep.

    Anyway, this time I somehow fell into a scene where I was walking down a long corridor. I knew that if I continued walking down the corridor I would be totally asleep and in a dreamworld, and I knew that if I turned and walked backwards, I would be awake. If I turned around, I could see myself lying in bed in the distance. I really wanted to get some sleep so I kept walking forwards.

    I seem to have experiences like that when I nap, I think because I hear noises in the environment that play into my falling asleep.

    In one nap, I walked down a sidewalk through a neighborhood in which some weirdo was following me and I tried to call for help but no one seemed to really care. I woke up relieved that it was only a dream. I remember it because it's one of the few times I've taken a nap in my adult life.

    I don't recall a dream from my most recent nap.

    Happens to me too with naps! And if I'm really lucky I also get to choose what to dream since I picture a scene and I automatically slip in it when I fall asleep.:)

    Worse thing happened to me though when I had a very bad nightmare (posted in my dream diary "Cat nightmare"), and I felt both my sleeping and my waking self, and the waking self was shouting loud to wake up! That was not as nice...:scared:

    I wonder if your body was really shouting while you were asleep and other people could hear you.

    Well I was alone... but I'm sure I was actually talking out loud... I could hear myself... or better, me sleeping could hear my waking voice, and me waking was well aware that I was calling out loud. I could feel my body doubled, and my sleeping body twitching in response of the call... very weird:rasta:

    Once, I was sharing a bed with another girl on a trip in summer camp. I felt myself rising up out of my body and I could see my mouth (on my body in the bed)move and hear weird sounds coming out of it but I couldn't control it.

    The next day, the girl complained that I kept her up beause I was making noises in my sleep. When she repeated the noises, they were exactly what I'd heard coming from my mouth when I imagined that I was watching my body from above.

    Nope. I tested this many times. And again in the last lucid dream I had... that I just posted. I used to lucid dream almost every night up until my pregnancy.. and now I'm glad I finally had another one!
