Paralysis
So I was in this forest. It was all gray and gloomy looking. In a clearing in the forest were a bunch of stone huts. They were tall enough to walk in but you would have had to slouch to fit. It was spacious. I was talking to a friend, I will call him <PERSON> for privacy's sake. He was the leader of a Clan or Tribe. I was in it. We all lived in the huts. Well, we were talking and he gave me a direct order. I forgot what he wanted me to do. But I refused. You see, in this dream <PERSON> was cold and cruel (in real life he is sweet and charming) and he did not like being opposed. I guess either he was not one to risk an open fight or I was not worth his time. Either way, <PERSON> waited until I was turned to attack from behind. He had claws for some reason, and he pressed them against my throat. I guess he was meaning to kill me, or scare me into obedience. I woke up then, but I still felt his claws, and I could feel his arm pinning me to the bed. He was breathing against my neck, and a feeling of intense icy fear swept over me. I could not move for what seemed like ages. Finally I came to consciousness. Later I learned this was Sleep Paralysis.
I had a false awakening. I do not remember why, or how I had it, it seemed to dawn upon me out of nowhere that this is a dream. I was very excited, but then, out of experience, calmed down. …

Well, I have been having some trouble sleeping lately (not stress or anything, I just have not been tired, so it is weird ), so I never would have expected to lucid dream...especially throug…

Has this happened to you?
Write it down while you still remember the details. We will look for the others.
If this reminds you of something a friend or a relative told you once and never mentioned again, send them this page. Reading that a stranger described the same thing is usually the part that helps.
Nothing is tracked back to you and nothing is sent on your behalf. The link is just the page you are reading.
