Paralysis

Black: non-dream Blue: non-lucid Red: lucid Dream 1: Hangin out with Lloyd I remembered heaps of this dream but then forgot it 90% of it -.-. It was a slice of life kind of dream, really nice and vibrant, it seemed to take place at my primary schools grassy field. I was hanging out with friends on a nice bright summer day and I see my friend <PERSON>. He has not spotted me yet and I have not seen him for some time now, so I decide to go surprise him. I cannot remember how I surprised him but we all laughed and then played some sort of sporty game, the whole thing was a blast. Dream 2: Insect zoo or something... I was walking down a corridor in a dimly lit hall, it was about 3 metres wide and everything was wooden to give off a 'nature-like' feel for its insect residents. The insects were behind several large glass panes that stretched up across a cross-section of a tree, of which there were 3 in my immediate vision. <PERSON> and another guy who is name I forgot were looking at them with interest (they are geologists who specialise in fossils of trees and stuff), the guy said "oh there is actually a real one".. I glanced at what they were observing, I could make out the fake plastic giant insects (the size of a hand in length and quite thick, they had furryish bodies and large insect wings), but as I inspected closer I saw something else... The realism in the dream changed and suddenly things were sharper in detail, the insect I was now looking at was huge, it was nearly half a metre and appeared to be a queen... I could clearly make out the hairs on its body and see how its body quivered and vibrated with internal resonance, at this point I think I woke up... After waking from this dream I felt funny, I could not move and I felt a sharp pain in my lower back, to which I immediately thought was the result of a giant bug biting me I quickly shook of the sleep paralysis in the first few seconds though but still felt uncomfortable, I felt normal though. I then lay back down and cemented the dream in my mind and went back to bed. At which point I had a false awakening thinking there were spiders and bugs crawling all over me, I hopped out of bed and shook them all off, it was scary! Then I actually woke up...
