Side note: I was really sick when dreaming these and the dreams I get when I am sick are often very vivid so I usually recall them easier than my other dreams. I seem to have forgotten a lot about these dreams, though. Slenderman survival w/ a friend I am outside along with a friend. We own a mansion for shelter which is in the middle of the forest with paths leading around from the mansion through the forest. The next thing I remember is that we see static and start sprinting into any direction in the forest. As the static grows more intense, I remark that I do not want to play this 'game' anymore and that I do not like horror like this, before the slenderman popped out in front of me. I ran back towards the mansion, going in before my friend closes both doors, then swearing and quickly turning on the lights in the entrance hall. It is night now. We wait and I am scared of the fact that the slenderman can come out of the darkness and that the mansion is mostly dark. Next day, I go out wandering for some reason, before later on my way back hearing strong breathing coming closer. I do not know what it is, but luckily it is staying in the bushes for now. Shortly before the entrance to the mansion, my friend tells me that what I heard is something which has a generic male name which I do not remember. Skip to the monster running towards the house now. I run to the front door and quickly close it in third person view, using a cursor to close the doors. It is lagging so it is hard for me to hit the door, but I manage to do it, relieved as the breathing is right in front of the door but nothing came through. Though then I remember the side door left of me and also try to close that, but this time, it is lagging too much so I back away to a small table with a light on it. I think about going upstairs to hide, but it was too late. The breathing reveals itself to be a creepy dog-like creature which suddenly storms towards me, then I wake up. Soon after this, though, I fall asleep again. I do not remember the dream I got then, but when I woke up from that, I fell asleep once again and I remember that dream in many fragments. Fake lucidity, false awakening The next thing I remember is that I am in a strange place, a tiny bit of water seemingly flowing between two sidewalks, surrounded by brick walls running along very far. I do a reality check with my hand which does not work, so I try a nose reality check and I breathe through my pinched nose. Though, for some reason, I do not get lucid, I just dream about being lucid. I try controlling the dream, but nothing happened. Then I get a false awakening, before reentering the previous dream scene. I see another person who tells me something, while I try to control the dream again. I then end up in a sort of Subnautica scene, and then I do not remember anything else.

 

Has this happened to you?
