Screaming or howling

I wake up randomly in the night so I go back to sleep telling myself to remain calm and to lucid dream, i go into a very fast sleep paralysis and feel myself starting to dream. I start getting up and I had a real hard time getting my right eye open and my right side out of bed, so i rolled over on my left and stood up. I was in my bedroom but all of the lights were on. I saw that it was dark in the other room so I tried spinning and changing my surroundings. While i was spinning everything was black and white blotches and i was thinking about going to the mountains. <PERSON> the USA was playing in my head. When I stopped spinning I was still in my room, and I just woke up. I did a reality check and sure enough i was still dreaming. When I rolled out of bed again there was a figure in a black robe with a black hood looking at me from in front of my bathroom door. I tried yelling at him to go away but he just sat there. I started freaking out so I started trying to wake myself up by yelling and screaming. It worked. I woke up a little startled but hey, it was my first lucid, somewhat of an accomplishment
