last night this happened to me i never have bad dreams just intense dreams.

I have been Lucid dreaming for about 5 or 6 years now. I have flown several times and I find myself going lots of gymnastics in my dreams. Something I’ve always wanted to be good at but never had training. Last night I had a dream right at bedtime which is rather late for me around 11:00 or so. Immediately started dreaming a terrible nightmare. I was just trying to get my kids to bed and everything was not lucid and completely horrible its hard to explain it but something very evil was trying to harass me I kept getting up from my bed checking on my kids and everything checking door locks then I go to bed. I lay in my bed face down totally non-lucid and this entity I never seen a face but it was on my back and the more I moved the more this thing got stronger. I reached back and attempted to bite this thing and bit down hard as I could. The aggression of this thing got so intense I said, "Jesus be with me." I instantly became lucid and this thing was gone. I never awoke. I prayed lucidly until I fell asleep peacefully. My wife came home around 12:15 and woke me up I don’t recall any more dreams but was still a bit shaken up over the nightmare.
I RECALL dreams where I cant get up or move from my bed but this was extreme.

Now this is a REM intense dream, from what I understand. Normally i smoke herbs to calm me at night. Last night i didn’t have any. When i use herbs before bed i won’t start my lucidity until around morning after i awake and go back to sleep again. When I didn’t have any herbs my brain activity was so frequent i lost some control there but then again maybe it was a demon trying to harass me . Open for ideas.
