Hmmm, I never really was bothered enough by the dream per say except for one specific one, I ponder on the meaning sometimes, and I wouldn't say I get scared in those nightmares, i might be a bit disturbed of the events, but I never woke up sweating and freaking out. I usually wake up very calmly and just say to myself, 'damn, that was an experience.'.
I had those type of dreams since I was a kid. But one specific dream to give an example, I don't remember the details precisely, i was either helping someone get out of the water or not sure, but i was in the water and then a snake literally bites me in my back. My body gets paralyzed and I slowly drown to the depth of the ocean, I can see clearly the surface of the water moving further away as I am sinking deeper and deeper unable to move. Not sure what emotions were going through while that was happening. But eventually I woke up just before I lost consciousness, and while I was losing breath and air in the dream, I didn't necessarily feel suffocated. But it was an unease feeling as i was sinking deeper and deeper into the ocean. This dream in particular made me ponder about stuff for a second if there is hidden meaning somewhere.
