I've been having dreams where I think that I've woken up (and it seems like I really have woken up), but when I get out of bed (in my dream) things are different, and some actually quite scary and thats when I realize that I am still asleep. I force myself to wake up, yet I fall into it again, and it continues for about 30 times of waking up in my dream before I actually wake up, and when I do wake up I end up very cold, colder then -40 Celsius weather.
So, anyone else have these types of dreams where you wake up to yet another dream?

I can tell you that i hae had these many of times and it still scarres me to this day..its not a fun feeling...there are two esplinations...from the medical point of view, they will tell you it is something called sleep paralysis.....its nothing dangerous or harmful, just something alot of us have.
From a spiritual point of view, they will tell you it is an out of bady experienence...which that is scarry but i choose to believe the other..it makes me feel better:)

Hmmm, strange, I just wish there was a way to stop or decrease the amount of times it happens, especially when you have to get up and get ready for work, and it makes you late. There were times dreaming that I thought I was just a spirit, not even alive.
As much as I am a spiritual person, I would agree with you and feel much more comfortable viewing things from a medical perspective, just the thought (or dreams) of and out of body experience is nerve wrecking
