Scary....
Made me afraid of flushing toilets for a very long time. I used to have to flush the toilet and bolt from the bathroom!
I was absolutely convinced of it and would wander about the house saying 'I'm dead, fuck, I'm dead... how did that happen'.

The other was where I was trapped in a garage and the floor gave way to a shark/crocodile tank (depending on the version of the dream). I'd seen this in an action comic and the image had obviously had an impact. I'd have other standard dreams but with the shark tank garage tacked onto the end. I eventually got to know I was dreaming by it happening so often - sometimes able to open the door to leave without the floor giving way.
One dream I had for a few years (from about age 7) was on a plane. I'd be just sitting there, looking out of the window of the airplane, when suddenly the glass would pop out! And I'd get sucked out with it. I'd just keep falling for ages, the ground getting closer and closer, until I was just about to hit, then I'd wake up. Weird thing was, after having this dream for a year or two, I learned to stop myself falling. I'd just fly around for a bit and come to a soft landing. Had that a few times then that dream stopped.
Actually, I learnt to quite often recognise I was in a dream and be able to take control.
In another dream I used to have, I would know I was in bed asleep but I'd get this very intense feeling of being kind of crushed and suffocated (I can't fully remember exactly what it felt like) and knowing I had to wake myself up die! I always woke with a jump and gasping for air! Don't know if I was actually having difficulty breathing for real, in my sleep?
Later, from about 20-25 yrs old, I started having an out of body dream. I would rise up above my bed and look down at my sleeping form. I would hover around a bit, then get sucked back into my body and wake. After having this dream a few times I managed to pass through the wall and see my sister sleeping in her bed before being sucked back. Over time, I would go further and further, for longer and longer. Eventually, I would spend what felt like up to an hour or two flying to nearby towns and going to see friends in their sleep or seeing people walking home in the dark. Sometimes I would try to wake people up, but never could. Loved those flying dreams! I wish I could still do it. But, I was taking a lot of things then that I don't indulge in now!
There's more to them than just those two memories but those were the basic themes.
That wasn't so bad. Experiencing sleep paralysis and not being able to breathe for the first few moments upon waking when I was maybe four or five years old was quite scary.
"I saw this in a movie about a bus that has to speed around the city, keeping its speed over 50, and if its speed dropped, it would explode. I think it was called "The Bus That Couldn't Slow Down"."
