A dark figure

-Fell asleep on the couch while reading. I conciously went through sleep paralysis and even had feelings that seemed like astral projection. I had my dream high type feeling. I thought that I was awake (not like I normally do passively in dreams). I went upstairs at one point and noticed that the door was opened. I felt my dream high very intensely and thought I had falled victim to some foul play of some sort. I stood outside and look off to the left where my car was ( it is not normally there) and the scene surrounding the house was different sort of like I was atop a mountain or something. I went back in and walked back downstairs. I still felt high. I then thought maybe I was projecting or dreaming or something because things were not right so I jumped and flew back over to my body. I saw it and was sucked back inside and awoke in the position I had passed out in with my textbook open on my chest. I was in extreme sleep paralysis and could not even open my eyes. I thought the tv was on but it was not and I could hear normal background chatter as if it were. I still felt my dream high and somehow managed to get up stairs where my dad and step were. The kitchen layout was off and my dad was sitting at the table cutting something and my step mom was working in the kitchen and unloading groceries. She seemed bitchy towards me and my dad said I was probably looking for some way to help. I could not even speak because my dream high was so intense and I was even trying to unsuccessfully. He tried to pass me a knife but I was trying to tell them I was fucked up from something and then I just slowly collapsed and saw their faces over my eyes as they slowly closed. I was back downstairs on the couch again. I could my dad coming down the stairs. I was groaning and mumbling and said ask my heart my true feelings (which is the only coherent statement I can recall saying). I could.nt hear my dad on the stairs but I saw a large dark figure next to me which I assumed to be him in the corner of my eye but I could not even turn my head to see if it was. Then I kind felt as if in an insane meditation again like my body was floating and falling all over the place constantly only all I could see was blackness in the back of my eyelids. I could hear like 3 songs at once all sum 41 but they played in a way that sounded good together (it sounded like the hell song, still waiting and in too deep). I even tried opening my eyes but could not do it. I just wanted to get up so I slunked and rolled over and was laying on the floor next to the couch and was still completley over taken by the unpleasent dream high feeling i get sometimes. I did at one point remember super man flying out of the downstairs porch but it did not last long. I thought I was dreaming on the floor but when I actually did awake it was to my dad and step mom coming in the front door and I was still in my original position on the couch.
