Screaming or howling

I was ready to take a nap yesterday because I was super tired from having to run around stores all day long. I laid down on my back in my bed and I was super determined to have a WILD. I have never felt so confident. As I laid there I thought about something I read here on Dreamviews.. "..it is impossible to WILD without first falling asleep. This is your main focus." And I have almost only focused on being aware all the other times I have tried WILD so this time I allowed myself to fall into a dream. In the dream I was in a car on a big field of grass. I was looking at a picture of a couple (I know) on a laptop in the backseat. Suddenly I see them coming behind the car so I quickly tried to close it.. Did not want them to know I looked at them or something. So I went out of the car and I see my mom. All of a sudden I hear the sound of a car turning fast on gravel. I turn my head and my dad and his friend jumps out of the car in question and act real freakishly with a pair of hockey sticks. My dad frightens me. He acts like he is possessed. I wake up. And [YOU]now[/YOU] it begins. As I wake up, I do not really wake up. I am only aware of my body once again and everything is black. My eyelids are closed. Do you know the feeling when you have been sleeping on your arm and you raise it up and there is a tingly feeling that feels kind of weird? I got that feeling, in my entire body. I realized that this was it, Sleep Paralysis. And as I realized that I felt like I was falling through my bed. Like I did not weigh a thing. Next thing I know, I have entered an LD. I bolt out of my bed and I see my dad running outside my bedroom, looking for me and it scares the hell out of me. I call out to him and I am 100% aware of what I am doing. He turns to me and he is coming at me as I scream at him "Dad! You are acting weird in my dream! It is a dream! Dad!" He bolts at me and I wake up. [YOU]My own comments[/YOU]: I told my brother about this and he asked me "Why did not you just teleport away or something? You knew it was a dream did not you?" Well, first of all I was pretty scared and my adrenaline was pumping (in the dream) so I did not know what else to do. Second of all, I have a long track record of being a dumb Lucid <PERSON>. I can have the most obvious dream signs, and not wake up. Although [YOU]I was[/YOU] aware 100% this time, it seems I am still dumb in my dreams. I could have went through the floor or whatever but the thought did not cross me. Still! Progress is progress and progress is awesome. :banana:
