Knocking

[Thursday, September 13th, 2012] <dream fragment> I am driving up to the High School with Nathan to drop him off for school... we pass by kids and I see the Principal, <PERSON>, and a Vice Principal walking next to her down the sidewalk. "Hey Nathan! I think I just saw the new Vice Principal! That was him was not it?" "No, it was not." (I was not entirely sure... but I tried to sound sure of myself anyways.) "Yeah it was. He had a name tag on him... next time you see him, see if it said Vice Principal on it." I went forward up the parking lot as far as I could go towards the Gym and turned... right a little and then dropped him off. I realized that this was not how you were supposed to drop people off, you were supposed to stop at the side walk and turn LEFT. Nathan got out and I did not see him again after that. I glanced back to see if anyone was watching me- there was not. Everyone had vanished. It was just me in the parking lot now. I did not think anything of it. I reversed out of there with some difficulty and drove back the way I was supposed to go, noting that I should not go the way the buses usually go. (It did not matter, but whatever.) As I was driving around the Football-field-side of the student parking lot, I thought to myself... "Wait... I was just in bed trying to sleep... THIS IS A DREAM." As my common sense and consciousness rushed into my mind, my visuals rippled and faded. Now I am surrounded with nothing but darkness. I try to focus on anything to start another dream... and I see an imprint; a blurry visual... it is a vertical oval, like a round mirror... and there is a figure in the center staring back at me. Who is that? I focus on the figure and try to bring them closer to me. The visuals just get weaker and I feel my body now in WL. It is so numb, and it feels like my stomach is being forced through the bed into my spine... is something sitting on me? This must be sleep paralysis! I force my eyes closed even more in slight fear... and I just bring myself even closer to WL in the process of focusing on my body. I focus on the feeling of sleep paralysis as its fading... and I try to force sleep paralysis back, and surprisingly it works. I start to fade back into a dream, but then I fall back down into my bed and wake up completely. + <false awakening> I hear knocking at my door as I try to fall back asleep. I ignore it for a little bit and curse my <PERSON>'s invasiveness. After a second, I convince myself she is still there and realize I am naked in my bed. She knocks again and I could have SWORN she was opening the door at that second. My blanket was suddenly covering my body perfectly. Too perfectly... but it was fine at the time. I slip my boxers back on when she does not open the door and I get up and open it myself. She is there and she asks me a question that I do not remember, and then I wake up for real. EDIT: She asked me how the jobs were going and if I had done anything else with it. I kind of got angry... "<PERSON>! I said I was just waiting on the school now to call me! I have already done everything I can, remember?!"
