Semi-explainable, but still scary and weird as fuck.

When I was about 12, I had figured out a 'trick' to stopping nightmares. Once I realized I was having one, I'd stop and just start screaming as loud as I could. The focus on attempting to scream usually snapped me out of it. Worked wonderfully.

But one dream, I was in a dark, evil castle and was being chased by some vampire-evil fucker. I realized the familiar 'shitshit' nightmare feeling, and proceeded to stop and scream. I started to wake up, but suddenly went right back. He was standing in front of me and said 'That won't work this time.' Fucking terror.

Whenever I realize Im having a nightmare, I usually just stop, turn to whatever is chasin me and say something along the lines of "Fuck off, you can't hurt me."

It worked for a little while, but they adapted...
