So at about 5AM Tuesday morning (yesterday) I had the following experience, went back to sleep and then typed it up on my computer at 9AM. I'll copy paste it here:

[Long beginning of dream entry cut out] I see two girls I've heard of and then we start talking to them and I think to myself. I think to myself, wait a second, I’ve never spoken to those girls before they wouldn’t know me, so it must be a dream. At this point of realization though, all I can see is black but yet I feel as if I'm still dreaming.

I feel my heartbeat speed up and get excited so I tell myself to calm down because I want to have a lucid dream. I then try to open my dream eyes and then I get hit by this weird shiver that goes through my whole body. I’ve heard about this and I’ve heard it means my waking body is asleep but my mind is awake or some shit. But then the shiver turns into excruciating pain.

I endure, wanting the lucid dream, but then I can’t help myself and attempt to wake myself up. Doing so makes my left side, near my kidneys, hurt like crazy like I had been shanked twice. I woke up, but I think I started hallucinating. I was in bed, checking my phone to make sure I was awake and not false awakening and I started to see all of these faces in front of my eyes (I was awake, phone numbers and light changes were normal). I felt for some reason that I could attach names to some of them, like they were very old people. Andrew Jackson stands out and I think Benjamin Franklin. But they keep floating in front of me in a constant stream, it’s very scary actually. This goes on for 5 minutes and then I eventually get back to sleep.



So yeah why did I have these hallucinations? Has anyone experienced anything like this? Also, why was I concious while my dream world was all black?
