Funny ways you've woken up?

[gamecubeguy214 2,514]

My brother put the gecko on my back. He let her crawl on me for a while. He then put the gecko back in her home. He then aggressively pulled me out of bed. What's another wake up story of yours?

I used to sleep on like a big armchair the size of a bed and one time I woke up with my shoulders and head on the floor lone leg on the chair and the other leg hanging off the side of the chair.

My cat was pregnant a few years ago fore we got her fixed. My bed was her safe place so while I was sleeping she crawled under the covers and gave birth. I woke up covered in stuff, looked under the covers thinking the thing she had with her was a mouse and realized it was a kitten. Then saw 3 or so more were feeding.

 

Actual reaction

"Ohhh." *realizes what's on me* "UGHHHHHHHHHHH" *sprints to the shower*

 

That said when they were older and slept with me its pretty cute to wake up to a pile of kittens on you.....when you aren't covered in amniotic fluid.

I've thankfully never nodded-off while driving a car, but I have nodded off while riding behind a tractor.

Stop the thread, we have a winner.

Well I don't know if this is "funny" exactly, but I was once woken up by the sensation of my hamsters tiny paws crawling on my face. He managed to escape his cage during the night, climb his way up my bed, and then camp out on my forehead. I'm like, "Having trouble sleeping buddy?".

Stairwell. Head on stair, body in pain.

I fell asleep on the floor one time and i woke up with my head inside my backpack.

[Something Floaty 1,334]

Sometimes I sleepwalk...well, I once had this weird dream, it felt so real, about torching small fishing villages and looting their shops, stealing livestock, vandalizing historical monuments, that sort of thing. When I woke up, I was being delivered a binding resolution by both the UN and The Hague and long story short, I am no longer welcome in Norway or Sweden.

This is probably common...

Waking up with the feeling of someone holding your arm or touching you, but you're the only person in bed. You wonder "what..." And then it's just your arm asleep. Happens a lot to meh.

I woke up around four AM on a school night to my cat sitting on my chest and meowing. Normally, I wouldn't mind but I was both tired at the time and this particular cat is REALLY heavy.

The funniest way I've been woken up.

 

My mom's friend brought her miniature beagle puppy over so we could puppysit for her, My mom woke me up by having the puppy lick my face.

 

The not-so-funny way I've been woken up.

 

During a thunderstorm that was passing through at around 5AM, a bolt of lightning struck right in the parking lot of my apartment complex. It was so loud that everyone who was woken up thought someone set off a bomb in the parking lot... the lightning actually melted a small spot of asphalt in the parking lot...

Probably the best wake up story I've ever heard.

[Darkly SteamGear 110]

[Guest90210 3,569]

Woke up to my neighbors blasting "99 Problems" by Jay-Z at 5 in the morning one day.

[Wingnut 7,020]

One time I had this strange dream where somebody kept grabbing at me and I couldn't escape.  I woke up and it turned out my cat was kneading my butt. 

[VeeniAshes 21]

[PROJECT: Simon 3,955]

I nearly fell off from my bed so I was practically upside down sleeping xD 

[Jackleberry 1,926]

The smaller cat jumped/fell from the window above my bed and landed on my face, somewhat recently (within the last couple months or so).

[Guest]

I feel asleep in my bed. I woke up on the floor, lol.

[Cleverclover 1,526]

When I was about 12, I was having a dream where my sister was drowning a pool. My mom came in my room to wake me up for school, and according to her, I immediately started shouting "She's right there! She's in the pool!" 

 

It was like I was having a dream where only half of my mind was asleep. I finally opened my eyes, and at once, it faded away. I was back in my room instantaneously.

 

It was pretty weird sensation, and I've never had a dream like that since. 

[Royal Bro-nee 36]

Oh and sometimes im in the middle of sleep paralysis

Once many years ago I was half awake, my brother was entering in the room and for reasons that I still don't understand I gave an hideous scream. My brother got so scared that he fell backwards, and my parents came to see what happened  .

[yeet 2,027]

I woke up to the cat biting my back cause she wanted me to open the back door.

It was winter. I went to bed in my home.

When I woke up, I found myself in my aunt's house, 369 km away from my house, and it was summer!

It took me a while to realize that it was false awakening and I am still in a dream

 

The other day, I was in a dream, walking around in my grandmother's house. Then suddenly something woke me up. But only partially: I opened my eyes and I could look around from my bed, but the rest of my consciousness beside the sight was still in that dream and I could feel my dream body still walking there. I stumbled upon something and fell, so I closed my eyes and returned to that dream to see what happened. It turned out that I tripped on a stool.

 

But the weirdest way I've woken up was when I remembered two different versions of the story!

In one version, I was walking in a dream, when suddenly I heard some noise from the real world and it woke me up, so I remember my dream fading out and opening my eyes to see my bedroom.

In another version, I was simply laying in my bed and thinking on different things, having my eyes closed, when suddenly I heard a noise in my bedroom, so I decided to open my eyes to see what happened, and I saw my bedroom.

So there were two different versions of my memories, merging together at the very moment I opened my eyes.

This last experience has led me to make a theory that when we fall asleep, our brains don't switch off completely and continue working as usual and perceive stimuli from the outside world. It is just that our awareness shifts toward the virtual reality created in a dream and starts focusing on it instead of the material world. We still perceive the real world, but we don't pay conscious attention to it. But our brains still have thoughts, receive stimuli and remember them for later, so we can "download" this data on demand when waking up. (Or we can just forget them if they're in no way important, or if we focus on the dream we just had instead.)

 

There were also two events where the dream world influenced the real world:

 

In the first one, I was dreaming that I have an earthworm in my mouth. When I woke up, I still felt the earthworm in my mouth, moving & all, and the feeling disappeared only when I moved my tongue to find out the earthworm isn't really there.

 

In the second one, I was dreaming that I am in a shack which was supposedly haunted. There was a legend that many innocent people has been slaughtered in that shack by the Nazis during World War II, and their ghosts are still there, flying around. When I walked into the shack, I really felt the dense air and I had a feeling that some presence is moving around in there, and I heard some whispers. Suddenly I felt that something is approaching me with a great speed, as if one of these ghosts tried to go straight at me. I felt that he pierced right through my stomach, and I felt as if my stomach contracted in pain.

I woke up, but I was still feeling that whirling pain in my stomach for a while, until I moved my body. Then every feelings from that dream have disappeared.
