    One morning I was dreaming I was inside a hallway on the neighbouring street and Two girls, One African, One Irish, Ran into me and told me the Gardaí were looking for me so I came onto the street and had a look first for my neighbour and then as I approached my door I heard a load of knocking I was now awake it was the bloody Gardaí for real at 8 o' clock in the morning, I almost shat myself, The noise was unbearable but no way was I answering it, Its not the first time it happened either but its the dream that was strange.

    It turns out they had 2 warrants as I got curious and answered the door the 3rd time he called that morning.

    Another time I woke up and for that brief moment everything was grand till I stretched and opened my eyes and was in a dirty manky cell in Clonmel Garda station.

    Took a nap (pissed drunk) in the sun in the back arse of Connemara. Woke up serveral hours later after sundown with seroius sun burn, hundreds of midgy bites on my face and ticks all over my ass, all topped off with the most horrendous hangover. Never again!

    Maybe the time I puked liberally on my pillow and just rolled over, went into drunk coma-sleep, and forgot all about it until I woke up and rolled back...

    I hate waking up in the middle of the night to the phone ringing, always gives me a scare that something bad has happened.

    Its always when someone has died or you've broken up with some one. You finally get to sleep and wake up semi at peace and then the reality of what happens sinks in again.

    It sucks.

    Shortly after watching Ringu (original Japanese version of The Ring) for the first time, I dreamt that I watched the cursed video from the film, and would therefore die in a week, per the film. The week passed by in the dream, and it felt like a full week too. The whole time I was scrambling to find a way to break the curse, and was getting nowhere and more and more desperate. And the dream felt completely realistic too.

    Finally it got down to the last day and I was absolutely frantic. The time kept ticking away, and I remember it got down to my last minute and then towards the final seconds and then...

    I woke up, still believing that I was about to die a horrible, horrible death within seconds and that it was a completely real situation. This lasted for about a minute, and I think I only realised it was a dream because I knew the time had passed and I was still alive. Only after did I realise that it was obviously a dream because I was in bed and not in Japan, and the film's not real.
    The relief after was amazing, but I had a weird sad, empty feeling with me for the rest of the day, as I had genuinely believed I'd die a horrible death, and I can still remember that feeling :(.

    Ah, this is true.
    You get that free moment of first waking, stretching, and then.... "Oh... ****" :(

    Awoke to these strange, almost animal-sounding noises. For a few minutes I passed it off as something outside, when I realised I could hear the echos inside the house. My father had died a few minutes previously: the sound was my mother sobbing/screeching. Horrific.

    I've had two really creepy ones but am only listing one here.

    I had watched Mythbusters earlier in the day and they were testing how to get out a car when underwater, which most likely brought this on. So, I was the passenger in a car which crashed into a river. The car went under and as the water entered my nose I woke up in a fright. I still briefly had a feeling of water in my nose, it was horrible.

    Having one of those gorgeous snuggly dozy lie-ins, lazily open one eye and find myself eye-balling the biggest spider I have ever seen.

    I did one of those horizontal to vertical in one jump moves....not a nice way to wake up. :(

    A Tannoy announcement at the airport at 4am. They had called my name twice and I slept through it. The third one was like "Final Call, get to the plane now or you will miss your flight"

    The scariest wake-up I'd say would be waking up at 4:45am to my mother screaming her lungs out. When I got up out of bed smoke was billowing into my room, turns out the house was on fire, I'd say in less than 60 seconds it went from perfect visability to blackness. Scary stuff, Everyone got out fine though...

    One of the more WTF moments was waking up in my boxers, horribly hungover and FREEZING on the third floor landing of a hotel I was staying in...I wasn't even staying on the third floor lol. I can only imagine what I thought I was doing:D

    Cramps in both legs at the same time after a heavy drinking session , jumped up outta bed in one movement , cue the room spinning way too fast from being drunk, and the worst tigh cramp imaginable felt like i was goin to collapse and vomit but i managed to grip a desk until the cramp eased and limped my way to the bathroom , cue vomiting from pain of cramp/spinning room/booze.
    The cramp was so bad i couldnt walk properly for days after it.:(

    Three years ago (almost to the day) my OH woke me saying "get up, we've been burgled". F**Kers come into the house in the night while we were all asleep and cleaned us out. We were going on hols a few days later and they used our trolley bags to cart everything off in. Took me ages to get over it but was lucky no one was hurt and we were insured.:(

    First time getting drunk in college in America. Didn't remember going to bed, but woke up the next morning having forgotten about the night before. Then the smell hit me. Pretty soon I realized the devastation I had brought upon my room. Vomit on my duvet, under it, on my pillow, on my wall, in my shoes, on my shoes, on the carpet, on my clothes from the night before, on my TV, on my expensive school books and on a packet on printing paper.

    Another one is not bad but funny. We had some American friends come to visit us in Ireland in 2006. I was 16 at the time. My brother and I had to share a hotel room in Dublin with 2 of the American lads. Their dad came in in the morning to gently wake his kids, "Buddy... buddy... come on buddy, it's time to get up".
    I get a phone call from my dad's room, "Up. Showered. Dressed. 15 miuntes". He loves that story.

    Having my mum walk in and say "come down quick your dad's dying", he was in the final stages of cancer and i had been up all night and went to bed for a couple of hours during the day. Although he was getting progressively worse over the previous week, i still believed he'd live for months and months, those words came as a massive shock.

    Sleep Paralysis. Felt like a demon was in the room and it was the most scariest experience of my life. I couldn't move a muscle and only found out years later it was sleep paralysis.

    This is the worst feeling ever. Happened by when I was about 12. Woke up after falling asleep on the couch with something similar to this. Could only groan, couldn't move for about an hour. When I regained movement, the first thing I did was chuck by stomach contents. Went to the hospital and had to stay for 2 days.

    Fortunately, none as bad as most here though I do have an awful knack for spasming out just as I drift off to sleep.

    I refuse to sleep on public transport if a stranger is sitting beside me anymore, the last time I spasmed was on a bus when I kicked the person sitting in front of me and elbowed the person beside me in the gut.

    :pac::pac::pac: One of the funniest things I've read in a while!

    What's the reason for being reasonable?

    Is that an unreasonable question?
