Last night, I had a non-lucid dream which, quite frankly, scared the hell out of me. I was being chased by a police officer, and then they caught me. The dream sort of skipped, and then I was suddenly on a gurney in a darker sort of room. There was a circular saw right above my neck, held up by a structure. It looked like something from the Saw franchise (don't mind the pun). Then, the saw began to move down towards my neck, and move from side to side. It was sort of above my neck and to the left, and then it went down. Then, it went to the right and began to go across my neck. It was really painful, which wasn't really that scary. I thought slightly that it might be a dream, but I didn't pay much attention to it.

The thing is, I woke up with a quick heartbeat and a sore, throbbing pain in my neck. Why is it that the pain carried over from my dream to waking life? Maybe leftover feelings from the dream?
