This only happens when I take a nap in my living room, during the day and it is to the point I am afraid to sleep during the day. Sometimes I have to be alone, but I have had a couple of times where their was someone in the room.

My dreams are hyper realistic. I fall asleep on the couch, my dream begins with me on the couch, everything exactly how it was. I usually get up and explore my apartment, and every dream I see someone different, but each dream is also different.

One dream; I got off the couch and heard a noise in the bathroom. I approached the bathroom to see a guy holding my daughter in the air. He walked into her room, sat her on the ground and said "If you want me, you have to get me." Walked into the closet and it shut.

Another Involved a woman. I saw her run into my bedroom. But when i arrived in my bedroom no one was there. I came back to the couch and everything slowly started disappearing. My front door swung open and all my stuff was outside my apartment. I go outside wondering how all this happened and at that moment I see her flying down the stairs towards me.

These dreams are real to me. It doesn't feel like a dream until I feel so scared that i am forced to tell myself this is a dream. To get out of the dream i have to close my eyes and try hard to open them again. It is not easy to get out of these dreams.

What is going on? I am a stay at home dad so I usually take a nap in the living room daily but I am truly too scared to sleep at times. I feel myself drift into this new world and try to bring myself back because i get a weird feeling inside. Like i shouldn't be there.

NOTE: Now that i finished typing. I do recall this happening during the day in my bedroom. I just don't sleep in there enough to know if it is consistent.
