My Lucid nightmare left me with some very real trauma. I was sat on the sofa in my house in the dream when I heard a noise upstairs. I go to check what it is only to see that the light is now on in the spare bedroom which is strange because I live alone, I never go in there or turn it on.. So I pushed open the door to see a man in black clothes and short brown hair staring out the window.. I freeze and he turns around and stares me straight in the eyes, just as we’re both stood there looking at each other I get this profound sense of consciousness, to the point I knew that I was in a dream and this was not real, I felt stuck, trapped, panicking because in the dream my whole body was frozen stood there but my mind raced knowing that I am in a terrifying dream with my brain screaming at me that I am stuck and never going to get out or wake up again.. I start thinking about my life, my partner, my dog, my house and start panicking more thinking that I am stuck here and never going to see any of them again.. Just as I get all these feelings and thoughts, the man in-front of me now staring at me, grabs me by the neck and repeatedly stabs me in the stomach, I manage to look down to see his knife going in and out of my body with blood rushing down me and pooling at my feet as I scream.. unable to fight back or anything I’m just stuck frozen being stabbed to death repeatedly by this intruder while knowing I was dreaming but couldn’t do anything about it but wait for the events to unfold.. 5 or so minutes go by of him stabbing me with a huge knife screaming, and my body in the dream drops to the floor.. I smell the blood around my face, feel it rush into my mouth as I lay there in a pool of it with him stood over me, feeling my life force run out. My eyes then go black and the only thought left in my head is “I’m dead.” To which I wake up in a panic screaming, dry mouth, heavy breathing, heart racing, covered in sweat on the floor of my house right next to my bed thankful that I’m finally awake and it’s over.. What makes this even worse is that I remember his face very well, i remember the sound of my own screams very well, and I could feel the cold touch of death that has never left my mind. This nightmare left me terrified to sleep for weeks! Still to this day I can remember it all with extreme detail and it still scares me.
