Hovering

Yesterday night I was having three consecutive lucid dreams in the beginning of my night sleep. 1. Feeling the sensations of sleep paralysis, I waited for the sounds to disappear by taking deliberate slow breaths. Slowly I have hovering in my room. I tried the electric switch RC, nothing happened. I was hovering to the ceiling. Suddenly I realized that the fan is rotating there at full speed. However, I thought I am in LD and nothing could happen. But when my shoulder reached to the leaves of the fan, my head was cut and separated from my body and was floating in air. Now I could see by headless body floating around with my separated head. Using imagination I created rest of body parts and started walking around. I tried to switch off the fan but nothing happened. I wished to get rid off that fan. I pulled each leaf from the fan and the fan itself and threw it out of the window. By these efforts, I became tired and found me back in my body. 2. Being back in my body I tried to separate again and was successful. Again did some reality checks, rubbed my hands. I thought of a girl who is staying nearby. Tried to go through the wall but was unsuccessful. But each time I approached a door and touched slightly, the doors were wide open. I was walking in the air, which is slow motion walking without touching the ground. I reached house of the girl. Saw a lot of people in her house, including her parents and brothers. They treated me in a friendly manner. I asked about her and one of them told me that she was taking a shower. I found her in the kitchen in the bathing dress, gorgeous look. She smiled at me and asked why I was late. I told that I was waiting for me to sleep. She asked me why my eyes were looking reddish. I exclaimed that how can she see my eyes as they are already closed. Before having a good time, my body called me back 3. I thought of having a third attempt and separated immediately. Being abroad for a while, I wished to visit my family in India. Thinking of the land marks to my ancestral home; I saw each of them and reached there. The moment I reached there I found as if I was getting out of a car as usual. Found my mother and brothers waiting for me. They told me that they have finished their dinner and I should dine outside. I told them that I was not coming there to dine; I should go back as this is a short visit.
