Dreams where you wake up only to find you are actually still asleep and dreaming.
False awakenings are a common feature of nightmares where the dreamer wishes to escape the dream but cannot wake themselves up, or they think they have woken up when they are actually still dreaming. In the dream, you think you have woken up and start to do the normal things that you would do on waking but then something happens and you realise you are still in the nightmare.
This is way of helping you take control, be in charge of yourself and what happens to you. This type of dream is often typically experienced by young people who are learning to take control of their life, in the same way, that they are learning to take control of their dream, you are simply learning to overcome the negative aspects of your life that can easily take over, this is the important information that is being relayed for you to understand.
If your life is unhappy only you have the power to change it.
Take control of your life
It is time to take control and lead yourself in a positive direction, one which does not lead you in circles or over and over the same ground. These types of dreams will stop as you mature and learn to stop making the same mistakes and understand that ultimately only you have control and it shouldn't be given away to other people .
Being consumed of overtaken by something negative is often translated using the false awakening nightmare, where you are trying to escape from monsters, zombies or demons and ghosts.
Monsters symbolise a composition of all the things that you do not want to deal with in your life, things like problems, growing up and being responsible etc. Zombies are used to represent things that should have expired in your life but are still prevalent, once again often aimed at the young or immature characters who don't want to leave their youth behind. Zombies can also be used in dream language to represent fear, as with all the negative symbolic characters used in dreams they are often a good representation of the 'fear of change' which is why they link well with growing up and letting go of the past.
Ghosts typically represent past experience and also past relationships which should, in theory, have helped you to mature and become more knowledgeable about people and the world around you. Ghosts are often used in dreams to explain how things can come back and haunt you, especially if you haven't learned the lessons you were supposed to have learned the first time around.
This is why these types of dreams are common among the younger generation, although inevitably older people do experience these dreams when they need to take control of something that is holding them back, or when they need to make progress and stop procrastinating.
Therefore any situation that requires you to be in control of outcomes might inadvertently create the false awakening dream.
Being Late
Dreams where you are late remind you that your are late for the next phase of your life because the fear of change is keeping you captive. These types of dreams often incorporate zombies, devils and monsters as the the captor and you need to realise that you are the creator of the monster and it lives within you.
Some lessons in life need to be learned quickly and others can be learned over a longer period of time. Learning to deal with yourself and your own lack of control and direction is being highlighted when you dream of negative characters who are after you or preventing you from escaping.

If these characters are symbolic for another person in your life then that person is often shown mixed with the negative entity you dream about, for example your ex is the zombie in your dream, this is helping you to understand your relationship with that person and consider the affect that that relationship has on you.
Negative entities (ill use this term to cover all the negative or composite beings) which invade dreams or prevent you from moving, often described as an old hag, succubus, black figure etc. have been experienced throughout the ages and are described as sitting on the dreamer's chest and preventing them from moving.
There is a lot of medical data which describes this event as sleep paralysis, I agree that at the specific time of half awake and half asleep we are both in the physical and in the spiritual realms and can therefore, experience both at the same time.
These events can have one foot in the medical field and one in the spiritual experience learning field. When the physical body isn't as healthy as it could be, or the physical defenses are low the energy field that supports a physical body is also minimal, therefore, a person is open to pick up interference. As part of spiritual development a person will also experience these types of dreams to help them build up walls of protection and be able to protect themselves from harm or negativity. Once again the theme of this story is of control, in being able to control ones own spiritual learning and not letting others take advantage, be they dead or alive.
A point to mention is that people who have had this type of experience myself included find relief and release from any negative clutches by saying a prayer, what greater power is there to hand over to when things are tough.
