A dark figure

#240 - OBE - 3:21AM I notice either strong HI or a dreamlet of getting an email from an ex girlfriend who is now a friend of mine. I read something about her and her boyfriend (some name) trying to call me but I had changed my number. I get the idea that she wanted to tell me something important. Suddenly I gain awareness and come to vibrations in bed. Several times, I try floating up like the last OBE but only rise partially out of my body. I after a few tries I give up and try just getting out of bed. I stand up with ease and rush outside. The house is dark and it looks like it dark outside. When I open the front door I fully expect it to be cold but I am greeted with warm air. Just before I step off the porch I see a silhouette of a man running full speed straight at me. I crouch in a protective stance and brace myself. I am not afraid of the man but I feel like if he bowls me over I will end up in the void and possibly wake up. I stand my ground and as he gets closer I let out a worried moan. He stops with inhuman agility and stands before me with his head lowered and arms out in a menacing posture. I do not let that phase me and I relax. I ask him, "What is your name?" He let us out a nervous laugh and says, "I do not know yet." I shrug this off and change the subject, "Ok. Well... Do you want to go have some adventure time?" He nods, "Sure." Thought the man was creepy at first I feel comfortable with having him around like he is supposed to be there. We run to the end of the block and I see some people accross the street. I cannot really make out what they are doing in the darkness but I am not too concerned with them at the moment. I try to think of what I wanted to do in this dream but I am having trouble remembering. Suddenly, I remember the email from just before this OBE. I feel like I need to talk to her and find out what is going on. I decide she is one of the people across the street. I shout out, "Hey <PERSON>!" A woman comes over but it is not what <PERSON> looks like. I ignore this and do not seem to realize this is not right. I say, "Hey, I had some HI... I mean, hypnagogic imagery about talking to you by email. How are you?" The woman just gives me a blank stare. frustrated, I ask, "Well? Are you good? Bad? What?" She seems to understand something now and replies, "I am good." I am so caught up in the worry that I am relieved to hear this, "OK good! Now give me a hug." We share a quick half hug and she runs off back to the over side of the street. I suddenly wake up. I have several other dreams this morning but one was a semi-lucid where I have an FA and recall a dream about meeting my father unexpectedly seeing my father in a public restroom and got lucid. I am in some old motel telling my family about this LD but suddenly I have to pee. I go to the same restroom and realize again I am dreaming while I am peeing. I become afraid that I will actually pee the bed but cannot seem to stop peeing. I realize that I am not getting any relief and decide the best thing to do is to wake up and actually pee.
