Â Probably the worst/most interesting one: Â One time I woke up in the middle of the night, started to pull into a sitting position, when I saw movement behind my cabinet (it had been pulled in the middle of the room because we were going to paint the walls) There was a man with indistinct features (it was dark + dream-like state, so I didn't question it) that sharply and distinctly said "don't move or I'll shoot you".
Needless to say I froze in my half-up position, petrified for a full five or so minutes. Eventually, I whispered something along the lines of "can I sit up?" and upon not getting a response, slowly came to the realization that it had been a dream/hallucination hybrid of some kind.
This sounds a little like sleep paralysis.Â
I've had a horrible Inception-esque episode in which I realized I was having a nightmare, attempted to pull myself out of it, "woke up"Â three times in "my room" still facing the Thing, whatever it was, before I finally woke up for real on the fourth try.Â
...Sorry if I've successfully weirded everyone out. *slinks away*
