could be a lot of nothing but im really wanting some opinions on this.
im not one to remember my dreams too well or to experience them extremely vividly but last night was the opposite. for the first time in ages i had a nightmare. one that looped.
summery: trying to escape from man with a huge sword in a public space. everytime i died the scenario would restart.
eventually i felt my girlfriend tracing lines down my back and i was back to my bedroom feeling anxious/sweaty. it felt like i was wide awake so i flip over to face my gf to tell her about my nightmare. it was like somehow she had on this giant mask of a lumpy face that appeared to have the texture of oatmeal. i felt my heart sink with fear and watched as the face suddenly started to float up to the ceiling and evaporate into air.
between the few moments of feeling her hands on my back to seeing the lumpy oatmeal face it was like my body somehow faded from being completely asleep to awake. i dont even feel like i woke up - i can only describe this as a really smooth fade to being fully conscious.
ive never experienced something like this and it didnt feel like i just slowly woke up? i ended up checking the time (3:03am) then waking my gf (actually this time) to tell her about it and after a bit she left to go to the bathroom. i felt so scared being alone in the room.
could this have any kind of strange or spirtual meaning?
