Sudden, horrific ending to dream

This is one of the weirdest dreams I've ever had and I'm wondering if anyone's ever had anything similar.

Intro: It was a really, really normal dream for what felt like 3 or 4 hours of night. I was travelling to New York, just going around the city doing regular dream stuff. There was a whole story to it and everything, it was long and elaborate and perfectly pleasant. I really want to emphasize how totally normal this dream was for so long.

And then I'm returning to the building where I'm staying ... I'm with a few people in an elevator ... we get off on our floor and we're walking down the hall to our room, chatting. And out of ABSOLUTELY NOWHERE, the people ahead of me SCREAM and the sound is absolutely terrifying, blood-curdling, the most horrified I've EVER felt in real life -or- in a dream .... and the whole hallway sort of blackens and sucks in towards me and I turn around and BOLT ... and the last thing I remember is gasping really, really hard and cold ... like sheer terror ... and I woke up abruptly and in a total panic.

Basically the whole dream went on totally normal for about 4 hours and this out-of-nowhere ending happened in about 6 seconds. It freaked me out.

    I have always been intrested in dreams! Correct me if I'm talking rubbish but from the details in the dream it sounds like you are a very sensitive person,a helpfull,maybe you have done something nice for someone recently and they dident appreaciate atall and that might of upset you? Please if i'm talking rubbish just say? i like to think i know what i'm talking about when it comes to dreams.

      Thanks for the input. I'm not sure if you're right about that. Nothing like what you said happened to me, so that probably isn't it. I think maybe it had something to do with the fact that I don't trust people / the world ... and so I had a seemingly pleasant experience and it turned into hell. Like the whole thing was a lie.

        This happened to me before, and now I think I'm a little meaner!?

    It's one of my favourite dreams to recall because it was so surreal! I love them too. I'm quite interested in how it happens psychologically, though.
