VERY strange dream, how could this happen?

well first it started at a football game (i normally hate football) and there was a huge slide to the seats i was about to go on. really weird. but then i looked to my side and saw a guard wearing a gasmask. I thought to myself "is there going to be a terrorist attack here?

oh wait! im dreaming!

" then i bursted awake because i freicked out so much. I never DILD, i always try to wild. but this was strange. How did i notice i was awake?

another weird thing was, after i fell back asleep, my dream was that i was really this fish humanoid, and i lived on a island beach and met another fish humanoid thing. it was a cool dream. although heres the strange part; I couldnt breathe underwater.
what i mean is i felt like i was holding my breath, and i couldnt go under for more then 20 seconds, making the dream horrible because of my trouble breathing. I dont know if i was really holding my breath in real life, or if it was because i woke up with my nose clogged up and had a little trouble breathing then. Does anyone here know whats going on?

Pfft, being unable to breath isn't that weird, I can't use the nose-pinch RC because of that reason, it always fails. Also, you just had a natural DILD, nothing weird in that, either lol

ahh, thanks. but normally natural DILDs dont wake you up much...
there goes my chance. people usually have one or two in their lives

One or two!? Heck no! Kids often have them, and a lot of nightmare become lucid nightmares, where people try to wake themselves.

Natural DILDs don't wake people up normally because they don't what realising you're dreaming actually means. Though I myself have never waken up in a DILD because of getting too excited.

And about not being breathing underwater, I once had a dream where there was a giant wave. I tried to swim to the surface but eventually I had to inhale. It was just as breathing through your shut nose in the RC.
Another dream I had was last night, where someone was trying to strangulate me because I was in the bathroom for too long and he was having hard time suppressing. My breathing was like trying to breath trough thick cloth or a pillow. I eventually woke up breathing heavily but otherwise completely normally. I was on my back so I hadn't been breathing through the pillow.

well, the water dream i had i felt the same trouble breathing (maybe a little more) then when i tried to breathe through my stuffed nose. thanks for the answers guys.

also i never had a lucid dream as a kid. EVER!
