Experiences worse than Bad Dreams

Everyone loves to dream about happy things; but everything has good and bad side; that’s the natural law. Bad dreams occur due to many aspects of that person like:

Mental state of the person
Activities and Environment of Social Life, Professional Life
Watching Horror movies or Reading Horror stories
Witnessed or being part of any accidents

You may think there won’t be anything worse which could happen when dreaming. So let’s discuss some of the experiences which are really worse than having bad dreams.

Unable to wake-up from Dream

When we are having bad dreams, sometimes it happens that our body becomes numb and even if we want to wake up from dream, we can’t lift up, can’t feel our hands, legs; it is mainly caused by following reasons:

– During REM sleep, the brain sends a signal to cause a body-wide paralysis. The purpose of this is to keep you from acting out dreams (which occur during REM). But if you are trying to wake up during one of these phases, you can be conscious before you fully regain the control of your limbs. This is called sleep paralysis, and it can be a frightening situation. You’re being stuck somewhere in between dreaming and wakefulness, and you can’t move.

– The nerve compression has led to a temporary paralysis (perhaps because you got stuck in a compressed position during REM).

Feeling someone beside your bed

This can be the most horrifying experience as I had personally experienced it. Even now I am getting chills through my spine while thinking about it. You may be feeling it funny but this worst feeling can’t be described in words unless one truly experiences it in real life. In this case, you neither sleeping nor want to open your eyes. You try to remain calm, still, relaxed but somewhere deep down you are petrified and going through hell of a time where bad dream could have been easy option if asked to choose.

A dream within a dream
