Every now and again I get really really scary dreams. I wouldn't call them nightmares, since it's not the content of the dream that it's scary. I'll try to explain; while I'm sleeping, I suddenly become concious about the fact that I'm sleeping, in my dream. This sort of makes me panic, and I try to wake up, but I can't. I try to move, but I can't. It's scary as hell. Eventually after a some time (it's hard to keep track of time) of struggle, I manage to wake up, but then I'm really really tired and often I fall straight back to sleep and fall into this weird sleep again.
When I speak to my British friends about this, they've never heard of it before and they think it's really weird, but when I speak to my Korean friends, they've all heard of it and some of them have experienced it aswell. There's a name for it aswell, in korean. They said it's to do with stress, which could be true since my exams are coming closer everyday..
I guess it's kind of like Lucid Dreaming, but is it meant to be this scary?
Have any of you guys had a dream like this, and know what the term for it is?
