I'm hoping some of you insightful people could shed some light on a dream I had last night. I won't go through the whole dream as I dont remember the beginning, but I remember quite a bit of the end. I was in a large room that felt familiar but definitely didnt recognise. I'm fairly sure that in the dream I knew I was dreaming but wasnt able to control it. There were people there who kept appearing and then disappearing, and I think they were trying to convince me that I wasnt dreaming and trying to get me to listen to them, it almost felt like they wanted me to stay. Towards the end of the dream I just kept interrupting them telling them to wake me up, I was trying to shout it because by this point I had asked them multiple times and I didnt want to listen to them anymore, but could only talk it for some reason. I kept pushing and pushing to shout and I did start to get louder. Finally I was able to scream to them to wake me up, which is when I did wake up. It turns out I actually screamed in real life, rather loudly, possible what finally woke me up? My mum came in and asked if I was okay, she had heard me talking in my sleep a little before then.
My partner has told me before that I occasionally talk in my sleep, sometimes words but sometimes just noises, and a while back I remember I was staying at a friends and her mum heard me laughing hysterically in my sleep.
In the dream I wasnt scared of the situation or the people, it was as if I was just a bit annoyed (probably not the best word but it's the only one I can think of), like the feeling when you know someone is playing a joke on you but they keep insisting that they're not if that makes sense?
Has anyone experienced anything like this before? Or does anyone know of experiences from other people?
Edit: if anyone wants anymore information on the dream and/or my general lifestyle to better find out what's going on feel free to ask.
