I got lost in a closet last night

that "fading into reality" sensation, it's the best way of waking up in my opinion

I hate that, because the few times it has happened to me, was during some horrible dream.

The worst was that one time, I cannot tell at which point I "woke up", and was dreaming I was in my very bed, and had just woken up. Then I could not breath anymore, and I was held down in my bed, totaly unable to move a muscle. At the point where I was about to suffocate and pass out, it was there I think I woke up, taking a BIG deep puff of fresh air and raised to sit, totaly freaked out!

There was also that one time, in summer camp, back when I was in the Scouts, we slept in a tent, and I was next to that girl, who claims during the night, I stood up and punched her in the belly (not really hard though!)

Nowadays, I sometimes wake-up in the night, and start saying a bunch of nonsense jiberish, which wakes my girlfriend up, she tells me to go back to sleep or whatever, but I keep argueing with a lot of conviction to defend my point, which, in the moment, makes total sense to me! The next morning, I usually have faint memory of argueing and simply find it amusing.

My mother's ex-boyfriend is a frequent sleepwalker. He once got up, stood up on his bed, and started punching the ceiling, and he did punch a hole through the gyprock with his bare fists!
