I had a lucid nightmare and sleep paralysis.

A year ago I went to my dad's place (4-5 hours of travel) and as usual my sleeping rhythm is all messed up because I'm a degenerate who stays up all night playing poker online. I go to sleep almost right away and I think I had a lucid dream, All I remember is me and my sister running from something down what I think was a hallway to a hotel room. For some reason I found myself in that room alone, I either locked her out or she locked me in, I can't remember. Anyway, next thing I know the TV turns on and obviously I immediately know it's the girl from the ring because pale reanimated evil dead kids freaks me out like nothing else. I run to the door and it won't open, I then run to what should have been the bathroom only it was as I recall completely empty and there was no door. I wait until she comes and when she's standing like 1-2 meters away from me, I wake up and open my eyes only to find I'm having sleep paralysis and I'm still seeing her.

The room I slept in is also the room where we have our PC, so my brother was sitting there playing at the time when I wake up (I'm a sound sleeper). I see her standing right next to his chair clear as day. I'm all like "FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-" only more like a regular scream in the highest pitch girly voice you can imagine. Thank god I couldn't let out a word because that would have been embarrassing. After like 5 seconds I break out of the sleep paralysis and the noise I made as I gradually came out of it over a few seconds sounded only like a very loud slightly odd yawn. I thought "WTF?" and never really thought much of it until I found out about lucid dreaming. I've had some other less interesting and memorable semi-lucid dreams and I've hallucinated (felt a presence and someone holding my shoulder firmly) during sleep paralysis once before. I think it's all because of my irregular sleeping pattern.

Anyway, I'm 20, male and Norwegian. Nice meeting you folks.

Hey, nice to meet you :) That sounds like an interesting SP experince. I hope it'll lead you to having some cool Lucid Dreams. Read up and post around. Good Luck! :) I'm jonathan btw, and I'm 21.

Hey, glad to meet ya and welcome to DV :) I've had nightmares about that bitch before :( God are they scary. Did you know that you were lucid during the dream itself? If this ever happens again, try to remember to change your mood to positive thoughts, to try to be friendly towards the things that are scaring you in your dreams because they will usually reciprocate your friendly behavior. Same, to a certain extent, goes for SP- though if you're waking up from a nightmare into SP that may be difficult.

Welcome to DVs man!
Your not the only one who had a Lucid nightmare before. I had one a while back and posted it in this thread that I started.

In it, basically I found myself %100 Lucid in an abandoned hospital. It was unnaturally dark and creepy. Then out of the blue, a female undead nurse appeared just staring at me. Somewhere along the line, I freaked b/c I couldnt make here go away like I wanted. I eventually ran for it, and every time I turned around to look back she was always right behind me. I lost lucidity completely and fell into a full-blown nightmare.

Ive also had many negative experiences with SP (ghosts, dead people, aliens) in my younger years but have since used it to my advantage in WILDing (Wake-Induced Lucid Dreaming). I suggest that you start keeping a Dream Journal to help with your recall and maybe start practicing WILDs if you want to have more of and learn how to control these lucid dreams.:)
