Nightmares I can not wake up from

I have these nightmares that I can not wake up from.  They do not happen all the time but I still get them.  I dont know why I get them.... But the only way I know how to get out of them is to scream for help.... but if I dont fully wake up I fall right back into the dream.  It does not help that my husband sees these nightmares as a nuisance. And he tells me that I say messed up things. And actually makes me feel like there is something wrong with me....Is there???? I dont remember exactly what the dream is about just that I was scared and wanted to wake up.  Sometimes I think that I am awake but I am still in the dream.  Is there something I can do to prevent these. Is there something the precipitates them.

Yes, once your in the dream you have to force yourself to say "this is a dream". Once your able to say that out Lou in your dream world, you will start to be able to control certain things in the dream. I dream every night and basically control what I do during my dreams.
