Awake, can't move, but still sorta dreaming, and you see/hear evil shit.
I've had a ghostly old hag standing over me as well as hellish music accompanied by a demonic child's laughter.
I've had some lucid dreams, but I found that you can't change the dream too much else you kill it. Mostly it's just, "oh hey I'm dreaming, no wonder I'm able to fly..., ok, I can either wake up or I can let this totally awesome and free 3d/interactive movie continue."
Yes, on a couple of occasions. Yes, it's terrifying.
Aside from some garden variety (yet horrifying) nightmares, I have also had a type where I dream, but the contents of the dreams feel like repressed memories. Imagine waking from a horrifying nightmare, knowing that it was a dream, but being unsure if it was something real from your past or not. Not sure if that explanation makes sense or not.
As to lucid dreams, yeah its happened on a few occasions. The awareness that I'm dreaming usually comes in one of those bizarro WTF moments that can really only happen in a dream.
A weird subtype of lucid dream I have had was a lucid dream within a dream. That is, in your dream, you are dreaming and are aware of the inner dream but not the outer one. That is a bit of a mindfuck.
