What was my scariest moment ever? It didn’t happen during my dad’s SWAT maneuvers. It wasn’t the time the weird man harassed me as I walked home from the bus stop. It wasn’t the time I got robbed at gun point or either of the times I was surrounded in school by guys wanting to fight. It wasn’t the time I actually did get beat up or any of my ghostly encounters. My scariest moment ever occurred in bed in the middle of the night.
I woke up in the middle of the night and decided to look over at my wife as she slept. So I turned over, pushed up on one elbow and looked over to see a strange woman laying in bed next to me!!! I had never seen her before. My heart nearly exploded out of my chest and my mind started racing. Who is she? How did I get here? Was I drugged? What’s the last thing I remember? I’m a dead man! Wait a minute, this is MY bedroom? How did she get HERE? Where is my wife? I’m a dead man! Is this some weird test my crazy wife is putting me through (the girl was very pretty)? Is this what Hell is like? HELP MEEEEEEE!!!!!
As I slowly calmed down I looked over again for the 10th time (or maybe the 100th) and realized that it WAS my wife in bed next to me. It had all been a trick of the dim lighting, shadows, and my foggy, half-asleep brain. What a relief!!! I had been so scared during that one minute or so it probably took a year off my life. It left me completely drained and I had no trouble getting back to sleep after my heart rate slowed down (usually I toss and turn a lot before getting back to sleep).
When this happened a second time a year later, I thought, “Wow, not this again” and tried to roll over and go back to sleep. But then my mind asked, “What if it’s real this time?” and I panicked all over again. LOL
If I didn’t know it already (but I’m pretty sure I did), I learned from this that I never, ever, ever, never want to find myself in that situation for real.
Edit: Plz let me know if anything like this has ever happened to you.
LOL Omg what's REALLY weird I literally just woke up from a extremely scary dream too! Except mine wasn't exactly the same, but pretty similar. It woke me up like 10 minutes ago with a pounding heart and in panic.
ReplyDeletehahahah awww! im glad you experienced it that way and not in a more real setting ;D
ReplyDeletei'm just getting out of bed and this post has already made me laugh :)
awwww rick, you're something else, scaring yourslef silly like that on your own hahaha
ReplyDeletehaha, omg yes! A good dream & maybe I'll have the best dream of my life ;) lol
ReplyDeletewahahahahha... is this really your real life story? because, i read something alike from a novel..hahahah! Thanks anyway for sharing this rick..made me lol mah friend!
ReplyDeletegood day!
wait how come you didnt recognize your wife in the first place??
ReplyDeletehi..rick, i know its really real story..what i was telling was that you really write so well like a novel that made me or other readers continue reading even how long it sometimes be!hehe! are you a writer of somekind??? hahah!
ReplyDeletegood day dear fried!
lolz I can imagine your shock, because my husband is so funny just like you, sometimes when he's half awake she can mistake me from someone else or someone else for me -.-" I better not let him sleeping alone hahaha
ReplyDeleteAwww...this story made me chuckle. This was scarier than you being held up at gun point?! I'd love to heard that gun point story. If all men were like you, then I'm sure there wouldn't be any failed marriages. You are so loyal and in love with your wife. Cheers to a wonderful and happy marriage for the two of you!
ReplyDeleteomg from the way you started out your story, i thought you were going to talk about a "sleep paralysis" experience (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YL03JdTgZMc).
ReplyDeleteive had nights where i wake up thennn mistake a clothing item hanging on a wall for a person :S sooooooo scary!!!
<3
I agree with Mel, the gun point wasn't the scariest moment?
ReplyDeleteI hope everything is back to normal on your side of household. I had an amazing day today, thank u for your tweets!
I've been told I look like a different person at different times of the day, so maybe your wife is the same. Hahahahah!
ReplyDeletePS; your wedding story was great ^^
Oh my God, this sounds REALLY scary, just like a nightmare! something like this never happened to me before, since I don't have anyone lying next to me in bed (well, maybe my favourite bears XDD)
ReplyDeletebut I can remember a nightmare where an unknown person was standing right next to my bed and trying to do something bad to me! (I dream weird stuff, I am a harmless girl, who is supposed to do to me any harm?? XD)
Hahaha! Rick, I can't believe you'll be scared of a girl. You are so funny! Was your wife wearing a night mask/cream that time? xoxo
ReplyDeletethat is funny..
ReplyDeleteand sweet:)
your wife is lucky:)
hmmm sounds like someone's in need of glasses. haha! i kid.
ReplyDeleteno this has never happened to me.
I think that's really sweet.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad it wasn't true!
I'm with ChinkyGirLMeL on this! You're more afraid of waking up with a strange woman instead of being robbed at gun point haha~ I wish all guys are like you :)
ReplyDeleteHow sweet :) It just goes to show how much you love your wife :)
ReplyDeleteThat's sweet..it reminds me of that scene in Before Sunset, when Jesse (Ethan Hawke) tells Celine (Julie Delpy) that he dreamed these crazy dreams which scared him and had him breaking out in sweat and crying because they were so sad and scary. :-p Ahh, love, where will we be without it?
ReplyDeleteOh, my goodness!!! That would totally freak me out..even if the guy was hot.. lol! I haven't had that happen to me....yet!!

HAHAHAHA! well i'm glad it WAS your wife otherwise you really would've been dead. "is this what hell is like?" hahaha! i dont think you get stuck in bed with a hot woman in hell...
ReplyDeletenothing like this has happened to me before and i sure hope it doesn't cus i'd probably have a heart attack cus i sleep ALONE so if someone is in bed with me when i wake up... i dont know what i'd do. haha!
Hahah that's so funny that you weren't able to recognize your wife in the dark! At least you found her attractive still ! did you tell her the story afterwards? if it were me i would've laughed! this is what happens when you are still half asleep.
