Name: Sally
My Experience: It’s not so much paranormal as just distressing and bizarre. I was sleeping in my cousin’s room as a kid, after my sister and cousin were trying to get me to play bloody marry. I started getting paranoid about it, and tried to fall asleep. My dreams started out normal, but soon I started to feel completely lucid and it was almost like I was in the movie inception. Whenever I realized something wasn’t right, the dream would switch to another. However after two times or so, I thought I woke up in the room, laying down. But I was still dreaming. The thing about this, is that I was stuck in this never ending loop- waking up in my futon, trying to see if I was really awake this time. I would notice discrepancies which would trigger the dream to reset. Every time it did, it would get closer to reality so that it became even harder to figure out if I truly was awake or dreaming. I remember the beginnings, I would see light in the hallway, and my aunt would come out to greet me but I would notice that it wasn’t the right aunt. That’s when I woke up back on that futon and heard a creepy laughter in the background. I started feeling distressed, because I wanted to get out and it felt like someone was keeping me there. When I tried to walk past rooms where other family members were asleep, or try to approach them, I would get dizzy and/or reset the dream again. The first time (after so many attempts) I finally reached my mom, but when she got up she had a completely different voice, which reset the dream again. After that, the dream reset like 30 times in a row.. every single time I sat up, it would reset. I laid still for a while, hoping it wouldn’t reset again.. and was back at it, trying to find discrepancies big enough to shake myself awake. I contemplated hurting myself, but I felt pain.. so I was afraid of using sharp tools without knowing if it was real life. I could feel touch, everything felt so incredibly real especially after the dream would reset to fix the discrepancies.. I tried covering more space, because my brain couldn’t possibly recreate every hallway and street perfectly since I didn’t live there.. but I was too afraid of leaving the apartment as a child, in the dead of night. So I was stuck, wandering around trying desperately to wake up, and testing whether this time, I truly was awake since everything looked real… I was stuck in this labyrinth dream for so long that I honestly thought I maybe died, and was in limbo. That maybe I was murdered in my sleep, and my soul was trapped here now. That’s how much time I spent there, enough to sketch out the place and attempt different things to get out of there. When I FINALLY actually woke up, the sun had just started to rise, it was probably 6am. I rushed to my mom, begging for her to wake me up and if it’s real this time. When she tried to reassure me that I was awake already, I kept crying and wouldn’t believe her because I had been tricked and trapped in that labyrinth nightmare for so long. I was terrified of falling asleep. I just sat there for hours expecting to wake up in that futon on the floor, with that sinister thing keeping me there. I honestly felt emotionally tortured, being stuck there for so long, fully lucid and aware, but unable to wake up and explain why this was happening to me. Thankfully, I had a few partially lucid dreams after that but never to that extent.
I really would like to know how to get out of dreams like this in the future, just in case… I don’t want to ever end up back there again.

Sally, the only thing that has helped me get out of my nightmarish dreams is by calling out for Jesus to help me. I don’t know if you are Christian or not, but it truly does work. It’s important you say his name specifically though…not God help, but Jesus.
