Yup. In my dreams, there's usually something to jump off of, and when I want to wake up, I jump, and awaken immediately. Some dreams I have actually get a chance to play themselves fully out, however, and those are the ones I actually remember.
I had a rather traumatic one a couple weeks ago that I didn't want to share, but I figure--what the heck?
I was in a parking lot with three friends, a guy and two girls. Me and Adam (the other guy) had one car, and the girls had another. When we got to our cars, we saw immediately that they'd been broken into. We tried to phone the police, but the bandits jumped us, one of them carrying a gun, and beat Adam and the girls against their cars, and the other one grabbed me from behind. After a bit of yelling on my part, and slaps and punches in the face, I snatched the gun from the one guy and started yelling at them to let go of my friends. They did, but then they all went for me. And I snapped, and shot one of them in the chest. It was a completely conscious dream, which is what was so scary, and I snapped. Had it been real-life, the guy would have died on the spot. Thank God it was a dream.
Another guy came at me with a knife, and I didn't want to snap again, so I tried to fight him off without the gun, but I would up getting him in the ear anyway (not thinking, that time). I just dropped the gun and fell to my knees and the police arrived. And my friends were staring at me with the most horrible looks on their faces. And rightly so, I had just killed two dream-people. Again, thank God it was a dream.
The thing that scares me most is knowing that I was capable of such madness, and I know I probably need some help, but my friends have already helped me through it. This completely goes against my nature, and I've already prayed A LOT on it. My essay, 'Not Quite Myself' (in the Art and Writing section, was inspired by this nightmare). Again, the WiNd isn't perfect, and he admits it outright.
