    For me, scary face is part of a whole genre I'm going to call startle dreams. Sometimes it's a scary face, sometimes I fall off a building or something, sometimes I witness or am part of a sudden car wreck. Whatever the case may be, it startles me and instantly wakes me up. Then I have to go through the process of falling asleep again.
