Hello Armor Gamer's!


I would like to know how you guys can exit a bad dream when you know your in a dream. What I do is I crawl in a ball, scream, and shut my eyes extremely tight. Always works! But sometimes for some reason. I enter ANOTHER different dream XD It's funny how that happens.

Hmm if it is a bad dream most of the time i can't wake up, but i try to stay relaxed and know it's not real.

When i wake up and am scared i just make a good dream of a bad dream:P For instance, once i had a dream about a witch who turned me into a frog and let me explode. When i woke up i just imagined me returning the spell and make sure the witch ends up like a frog and i end up happy haha

I don't really do anything. Mostly, if I want to wake up, I wake up. It's basically like watching a movie and wanting to turn it off.

When I realize I'm on a bad dream, I can't get out of it by myself. The only way I can get out of it is when I die in the dream and then I wake up really scared.

I try to scream. Once I tried that and it worked, but after a few seconds because my drowsiness kept me from screaming. I now know that if I have a bad dream, I have to force the scream out.
I have the WEIRDEST dreams in the world. I have nightmares of robot squids with laser eyes and they either have me in pursuit and shoot their lasers or they get me before I can run far enough. I've had series of those nightmares. They seem very connected. Mostly I don't realize a dream, but nearly every night, I don't remember ANY of my dreams, but sometimes I have dreams where I realize I'm in one and I try to get out immediately. I try to put my hand in cold/hot water in my dream, but it never works. I even slap myself to get out, but I only feel my hand only stroking my cheek.
But at this moment now as I'm writing this reply, I realize that I CAN control my dreams. I've only seen that sink and my hand slapping me because I wanted to find it. But I still may never control my dreams to change them because dreams happen so rarely that I never realize it until I wake or am woken up.
*Sadness*

Do you mean screaming in the dream, which makes you scream out loud?
Something i've never tried.

I rarely have bad dreams but when I do I just wait for something bad to happen so I wake up. And stay close to other people

I rarely have nightmares, but the nightmare part is really weird because when it would happen in the world which i'm now writing in, it would be not very frightening.

I am the key in my dreams.

I fight evil(I think) and sometimes i am the evil ITSELF!!

I say to myself: "You control those dreams yourself" and then it's no bad dream anymore.

I had a bad dream last night. What I did was I stayed away from danger. Whenever there was a sign of danger I stayed calm and avoided it.

I have very vivid dreamz. Sometimes I can even feel them. I sometimes have dreams about being trapped, with undead outside, and horrible depressing things going on outside. I'm usually trapped in a truck-stop bathroom. Next to a Whataburger. I once got an up-close of a guy having his girlfriend/wife turn undead in his arms, and eat him..... ugh.... After that, I stopped playing zombie games. And watching zombie movies. Anything zombie, I have to avoid. From about april until july, I was mentally unstable, and paranoid of empty places. I literally was FORCED to give up zombie/undead/horror stuff.
Anyways, I cannot wake up from nightmares, unless woken up by an outside source.

I tend to wake myself up from bad dreams more often but it's become tireing. I wake up and then I feel like I'm almost in shock. Then it takes a few minutes to convince myself to get up. But I guess it's better then a nightmare.

I sit still like a ball and focus to wake up.
