Paralysis

I woke up in sleep paralysis and felt something furry sitting on the side of my bed. I had my eyes closed because I did not want to be more scared than I already was. This furry creature was talking to me about myself. He pointed at different areas of my body using his claws. I was hoping he would not stab me with one of them. I got to feel its hand even though the rest of my body was trapped from moving. I think it was a giant bear. I imagined it white. I tried to imagine a new dream scene my picturing my self escaping my dream body out towards the exit door in front of me. Often times it would not work because I kept losing my train of thought. I even pictured myself sinking in to the bed and popping up in to a new dream scene. None of that work. One positive thing did come out of this, though. I never yelled out for help. However, I did wake up mad. When I woke up, or I thought I did, I found myself in my parents room. I was confused. I got up from bed and immediately walked over to the living room to ask her why she laid me in her room. I was angry with her. I did not get her exact answer. It was not until I woke up again when I realized I had a false awakening. I woke up upset really about it(for not reality testing) and tried going back to sleep but could not because both my sisters and nieces started making noise.
