Paralysis

Last dream I had before getting up at 6 am. 3 days old As far as I remember the dream "started" at this point. I am waiting to get inside a restaurant with a couple of people. I know some of them but not all of them. I was looking at the door, waiting to get inside, as if I knew someone was about to open it. At this moment a group of yakuza show up behind us, their leader yells: "take one of their heads." The dream was very vivid and I was scared out of the world because I was sure it would be my head that would be cut off. I remember being unable to move as if the fear had frozen me into place. Surprisingly they cut off the head of their own members! (that I did not get lucid here is really disappointing it was so unlogical) They commanded us to get away from the door and stay on the yard in front of the stairway leading up to the restaurant entrane door. Apparently they wanted to collect protection money from the owners. I bow slightly as the commander looks at me as he tells us this. He then proceeds to cut of my ponytail with his katana which does not scare me as much as before because I feel kind of numb at this point. As we stand there some of his thugs start moving in our direction. One of us panics and wants to run away from them, but I stop him as I was sure they would attack us if he would run away. One of the thugs singals him to stop as well, he yells something I do not understand. The guy yelling is suddenly very close to me and draws a small knife. I start running away, drawing a katana myself. As I swing it at them I realize it has no handle and I wear thick iron gloves. It slips out of my grip and flies into them with little effect. The next thing I know is me grabbing the knife guy and smashing him into the ground (since I wear heavy armor his small knife does not harm me). Now things start to get fuzzy. I suddenly have a sword again striking down multiple enemies. Suddenly the fight is near the end and the only threat is a guy with two golden swords and heavy armor. I do not know where the commander of the yakuza is at this point, or the rest of his thugs. The last enemy standing was one of ours I believe because it felt so weird. Then he was overwhelmed and hit the ground. I step onto his swords with my heavy boots and disarm him. It looks like we won the fight, I take the swords and sheathe them behind my back. Then I wake up.

Has this happened to you?

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

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.
