Paralysis

A hectic but decent night, lots of small fragments, but some vivid dreams. As well as a dream in which I discuss lucid dreaming. The Ship is Sinking (non-lucid) The dream starts at my <PERSON>'s house. I meet this girl with a strip of purple hair. She seems pretty cool. She is a poet and hands me a folded piece of paper. I read the poem but do not remember it. We walk further and the location turns to a beach. Transition. We are am on a ship but it is sinking. The cabin is filling with water and a shark is repeatedly crashing into the window. Old gramps is there. I have not seen him in a long time. Eventually the water is too high and we must leave the ship. <PERSON> goes first to distract the shark. We swim and reach shore. Later I remember an areial view of people surfing over a giant manta ray thing. Notes: I must have had 3 or 4 shark and water disaster dreams. I did not write them all down because I lost my pen during the night and my journal was open (weird, I had to rc). BroX's Wants to LD (non-lucid) BroX, BroY, and I are playing video games in my room while relatives talk downstairs. BroY is just being really annoying. He is poking us and unplugging controllers and stuff so I beat him up. BroX said he was looking through my dresser for something and found my book on lucid dreaming. We go downstairs and he asks questions. Said he is really freaked out about sleep paralysis. He asks how many <PERSON> I have had and I accurately remember. <PERSON> is there and said he had only a few. Crazy Women (non-lucid) One of the first dreams of the night. I do not remember the beginning. I exit...somewhere. It is dark and storming outside. A gray car speeds away throwing gravel and dust into the air. Something is wrong. I have been left here. I see some cars but they do not have keys in them. One is a co-workers car. I enter the only house around. This point is real vivid. I see a fireplace and some cats lounging. I pick up the phone and dial (totm!). "This phone is not connected." it says. "Damn it. I am trapped here by this insane women's house!" End.

Has this happened to you?

Write it down while you still remember the details. We will look for the others.

Tell us what you saw

Know someone this happened to?

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.
