I once woke up screaming from a layered dream about a burglar with a huge hand that was basiclly a big claw. I would see him in the dream, wake up, go to my mom(was younger). She'd be dead, and then the burglar would jump at me. Then I'd wake up again, have the same thing happen, and again and again and again.
After about 8 times, I broke down and was screaming and crying while waking up for real. Oh yes. Very pleasant experience. Had I not been 6, I would have gained lucidity, slaughtered the burglar ripping his limbs into pieces and laughing, then I would go do the usual lucid fun.
