false awakenings
okay so throughout this past week i’ve been experiencing something very stressful. The first time, I “woke up” to my body shaking. It’s hard to describe but it felt like something was forcing this upon me. I then “woke up” again to this same thing. It happened once more before I actually awoke. Something similar has happened the following nights as well, but last night was the worst. In my dream, I “woke up” and dragged myself out of bed, hardly able to move. I felt terrified, but i’m not sure of what. Crawling to my door, I attempted to scream, but hardly anything was coming out. I tried banging on my bedroom door to get my moms attention from the other room. Next thing I know, i’m “waking up” again. I did the same things, but this time tried clawing at my skin and banging my head on the door, trying my hardest to wake myself up. It happened one more time but this time I was so weak i couldn’t get myself out of the bed. I bit the inside of my cheek trying to wake up but it didn’t work. I guess I eventually fell into a deeper state of sleep. This morning I realized i have bite marks inside my cheek. This entire situation has seriously been freaking me out. Any advice????????

What Does A Recurring Nightmare Mean?
For the last 8 years of my life I have had the exact same nightmare once every year. Doesn't matter what time of the year but only once in that year and it's really creepy. The nightmare goes like this and every time there's a slight change. I'll mention the most notable ones but they always start and end the same way: the in between is also extremely similar with maybe one or two changes.
1. It always starts off with me opening my eyes in a black room and then it shifts into third person in a black and white city and I'm on a roof
2. I start jumping from roof to roof and I'm always screaming to see *someone*. I don't know who.
3. I get in some sort of vehicle with a faceless person (the person I was looking for) and we just kinda teleport to some stall selling coloured oranges because everything else is black and white and the person with me begins to develop the face of someone from my family. Then they pick up an orange and get poisoned by it and die
4. I wake up in a coloured city this time and then I get teleported into the same black room I was in before but this time there's floating numbers. I reach the number 100 and then I just die. Flat out die just like that.
Then I always wake up and I always instinctively walk out of my bedroom. Always the same. The only difference is the person who gets 'poisoned'. What the hell does this mean? I'm not scared of the dream anymore since I've become aware of it but it just creeps me out.

I had a nightmare about AI bees pumping serotonin into your brain.
To begin, my boyfriend and I were sitting in a computer café where this advert appears, talking about these brand new AI bees released by the government. They were sent out in order to pump your brain silly with serotonin, meaning you'll be happy until you die of natural causes. However, in the dream it was common knowledge that these bees were also used in order for the government to control your mind and create an army (because dream logic - you gotta assume the worst, or at least in my case).
My boyfriend leaves the advert open, allowing one of the bees to crawl out of the screen, which lands on the temple of his head. Immediately, his eyes become vacant like he's staring off into space. A load of other bees pour out of the computer screen and land on all the other people in the café, myself included. As I'm screaming "get off of him!!!!!" to this little robot bee on my boyfriend's head, I start to feel myself succumb to the power of this bee on my head (which is strange because it's a dream, but I guess I really wanted to play along with the story).
We all march out of the café and end up down this long strip of road, which I believe was a walk-way at my old middle school. We all line up and one of the government officials informs us "do not attempt to remove the bees, this can cause a seizure, and you will die." So for the rest of our lives we only ever felt happiness, no other emotion, which was driving some people crazy. There were others who forcefully ripped the bees away from their heads, which of course killed them. The only way we could communicate our real feelings was by saying "the old me would have hated that" or "old me isn't too happy about this", as we could hear ourselves in our heads trying to escape.

Dream about a Black Scorpion biting me in the spine while I slept.
I was in bed in my dream trying to sleep, when a black scorpion was crawling on my back. I was too afraid to move, fearing it would sting me, and as I had that thought in my dream, it stung me on the back of my neck. Then the dream repeated, only it stung me in the spine between my shoulder blades. Then I woke up.
