Well, it was rather personal but it feel awful to get trapped in a nightmare made of loops...
It works, look at your hands, just look at them... I feel awful...
I am used to seeing nightmares but that was hellish!

Oh crap man, you had sleep paralysis.
h**p://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleep_paralysis
Read up on it. I was scared poopless the first time it happened to me. I thought I was possessed or something. It was quite scary. It happens to me about once or twice every month now, but since I know what it is, it doesn't freak me out any more and it usually goes away rather quickly in the morning. . . unless I'm already running late for work. Then I'm screwed ;)

Actually, I have this problem for as long as I can remember, pretty used to sleep paralysis and an educated lucid dream expert... Ah great botch...
Anyone with this problem, tilt your neck slight, you'll wake up. If you are in a waking nightmare, look at your hands then tilt your neck.

I know the dream thing can be very scary.I have the same dream every yr at the same time.It is a nightmare but not as bad as you both. I dont get dream paralisis.So I know how strange it sounds to people that dont understand.I have to admit that I first read your thread..I went away confused.but I came back and read it again and ......the rest is history......
Hope things go ok for you.Is there some sort of Med. you can take to help that?
good luck

I am not poking fun.I realy want to know..Why does doing the tilt of the neck and looking at the hands wake you up if your having a very bad dream?...Well it work on just bad dreams?I dont have the paralysis.But I do have very bad dreams.I hate them and wish I could wake up

To be honest, I do not know why most of the simplest things work in dreams and nightmares. I know that you can not read because your sleeping mind can not comprehend maths and reading while you are sleep but I have no clue why electronics do not work, why you can't switch on and off lights.
Tilting your neck, in my theory is the most basic thing you can do while your body is still asleep. If you push yourself a little in your dream trying to tilt your neck, you do it in bed as well and your body wakes up. It is probably because of high concration of spinal nerves.
Looking your hands work differently, it gives you control of your dreams. Have you ever seen your hands in a dream or a nightmare? Have you ever turned lights on or off? Those are basic rules and they work. Just pm me and I can point you to some directions if you wish to learn about lucid dreaming.
Why did I looked at my hands first? I knew I was in a nightmare, I knew I was trapped because everytime I tried to wake my body, I was in another nightmare, waking up, getting out of bed and seeing that I am still in a nightmare but so familiar to real world that I could not grasp it till I see someone unnatural. Last time, I looked at my hands just to check if I were still having nightmare or woke up, turned out to that I was still having nightmares, my hands were swifting fusing and disappearing, so I concrated, let them form then titlt neck to follow with new found grasp of nightmare. The last check of hands came out to be I managed to woke up =)
