Interesting how that works, you'd think it would be the other way around.

Fortunately whenever I have a nightmare I quickly catch on to the fact that I'm dreaming and scream myself awake before anything truly horrific happens.

I'd also like to mention that I suffer from sleep paralysis, which is what happens when you wake up but the part of your brain that produces dreams is still activated (I think it's what you call DMT, I dunno), in other words I have moments were I'm awake but I'm still dreaming, I see and hear strange, sometimes horrifying things, in these instances I tend to be motionless and have to force myself out of it.
