Paralysis

Note, in this dream my senses where fairly scrambled, I am still not sure If I got the order of events correct. I was at my grandmothers house. I was talking to a being that I could tell was much stronger than me. I think it either told me about, or showed me a gargantuan demon that feeds on dreams, the reason that most people forget their dreams when they awaken. I am back at my grandmothers house, a portal appears and someone I know walks through, although I have no idea who it was, I could tell they where friendly. they say something about going fishing, I agree to go. we walk through the portal and the next thing I know, I am sitting down with a fishing rod. there is one person to the left of me, and several people to the right, one of them is playing the guitar. I cannot tell if the next part actually happened or if I just imagined it. someone to the right of me caught a whale, then I either got pulled in, or caught a killer whale. I sense a giant black creature, it has several eyes and mouths. I can tell that it is in the water, so I take my feet out. I start to get engrossed in the guitar music, I can feel strings wrapping around my mind. I ask them to stop playing for a minute, they oblige. I feel the dream slipping, so I attempt time dilation. I visualize a clock, 12 hours to 24 hours to 48 hours. at 24 hours, I feel my body getting tight, at 48 hours, I am completely paralyzed. False awakening. I am in sleep paralysis at my grandmothers house in the guest bed. I broke out of it with pure strength, I felt good about myself. I got out of bed and woke up for real.

I have been both sick as a dog, and out of town. Dreams have been so crazy. At one point, I was nightmaring lucidly about the Saw movies, which I do not even watch (Saw 1-3, then gave up.),

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.
