It was Saturday, I'd been awake until about 6am, knowing full well that I had to get up and go to work at 12. Since my sleep cycle lasts about 3 hours, I figured I'd get up at 9 and just be tired at work. This normally wouldn't be a problem, I'd just sleep during the day to avoid feeling shit, or drink some high strength coffee, but I'd planned previously to go on a jog to town with a friend. I finally resolved to be tired during the day, it wouldn't be that difficult since fatigue only really sets in when you don't have anything to do, and I would be busy.
I got to sleep almost as soon as I put my head down, having set my alarm clock to half 9. Towards what must have been 9:30, I was dreaming about riding a bycycle down a road. I realised in a fit of panic that I was dreaming, and proceeded to wake up. I looked at my alarm clock and it was 14:22. This meant I had missed my entire shift at work, and I was in quite a bit of trouble. I got dressed quickly, skipped breakfast and headed out towards work; not in an effort to aplologise, but to meet my friend who I had arranged to jog with. About half way there some weird stuff started happening, I realised quite quickly that I was still dreaming. As is usualy with these things, I didn't enter a lucid dream, and instead woke up quickly. I looked at my alarm clock and it was around 9:40.
I felt very tired, so I resolved to spend another few hours in bed before going to work. Given the panic that had ensued during my false awakening, it seems ironic that I would willingly go back to sleep - Especially when you consider that I woke up at 12:05, running to work at ending up a good 15 minutes late.
Has anyone else experienced something like this? Or even perhaps entered the fascinating world of lucid dreams?

Another weird experience last year, it was about 1am and I was lying in bed with an extremely bad fever, having cold sweats and shiverring, totally unable to sleep. My mum walks in, and goes 'hi chris, feeling better?' and as I'm replying she fades right before my eyes. I was definitely awake, it was a hollucination from the fever. Very creepy.
Another one I have frequently is that all of my teeth start to fall out and I have to spit them out of my mouth, not nice.
Maybe it's a subconcious thing, you're worried you aren't brushing your teeth enough, or it could be symbolic of getting old.
Who knows?
I never understood the naked in school one. Must be a fear of being yourself and being socially rejected or something.
moral of the story is to go to bed earlier retard
(i planned to go to bed 1 hour 20 mins ago to get up for work tomorow:[ )
I consciously thought that another hour in bed wouldn't do too much harm; I'd also told my mum to wake me up at about 11, in case I'd slept in, but she completely forgot. Can't do much when your back up fails!
i got a cool new ipa tshirt, dont tell me there are no perks when working 15hrs a day
Also had some days that I dreamed that I was going to bed and fainted on it and everything around me turned black, after that my bed was starting to move and it flipped over... and then I watched spiderman on some german TV station wich started at 05:00 (n1 being early for school) and had breakfast with my dad for a few days :P
Other stuff like that.
Usually happens when I'm thinking the night before that I'll prolly sleep in.
T'is a weird feeling when you wake.
sometimes i had like strange dreams...i just wanted to have a little nap before i went to p.e. and then i dreamed smth, but suddenly, in the middle of the dream, i just woke up and breathed fast, knowing that i would come to late. it was just like a strange feeling which i had in my sleep :D
p.e. already had begun 30 mins ago on this day
k
was pretty weird tho
I prefer dreams in which I'm able to fly. Those dreams usually come up after around 12 hours.
Apparently I said "I see you Mr. Picard, I see Jean Luc Picard"... A few days later I suddenly remembered being sat in my friends living room looking at his picture on the mantlepiece, and it slowly color morphed into the face of picard, and thus I pointed and said that phrase...
Weirdest sleep talking experience I had!
These side-effects can make you halucinate like shit.
It gets really interesting when you directly start into a lucid dream. I'm always trying to build a portal while drifting off: a door or a mirror or something else.
btw has anyone seen Pan's Labyrinth? :o
