I read this comment, [here]( and the thread following, and it got me wondering what weird stories some redditors might have on this subject.

I'll start.

For me it went like this:

I was browsing the internet, when I started feeling tired. I set my computer on the ground next to my bed, shut my eyes, and fell asleep. I obviously don't remember falling to sleep, and I certainly don't remember the beginning of my dream. 

Anyway, the earliest bit of the dream that I can remember was a very intricate sequence of me browsing reddit (I know... I fucking know.). I was startled by a very loud rumbling. The walls in my room began to shake, and the light that shone bright blue in from outside my windows, had become dark orange. I looked out my window, and off in the distance I could see the earth's crust begin to rupture. It was an extreme earth quake. There was fire and lava and all that stuff shooting out of this massive crack. So, after I saw this, I knew that I was about to die.

Now, since this dream started out with me browsing reddit, it felt all too real. There was no snapping myself out of it. I thought, "I am going to die right now." I had this very brief moment struggling with my inevitable death, and the slight possibility of an afterlife, and how fucked I'd be if it happened. All of it was going through my head as my entire room full of furniture and I were falling out of a massive hole in my now-broken wall.

I woke with a start, wondering why I wasn't falling anymore. Then I cried. It was the most terrifying moment of my entire life, and it happened during a short nap.

I dreamt that I was about to die, and I woke up with a start.

I fell asleep, and woke up in a very thoroughly realistic, yet still very scary, dream,
