Thread: newbie needs help

Hey all,
My name is Jack. I'm 19 and currently go to college. I would like some help with this dream....
First some background info: Since I was around 10yo, I've experience lucid dreams. Initially I was not aware of it or their existence. I talked to my parents and went to a couple psych therapies. Sometimes I would get stuck in between being awake and asleep. I could not move, or speak but I could see a little and I was able to hear my surroundings. if I tried to move, it would take a lot of effort even just finger, and it felt it was hard to breathe. At first I thought it was a nightmare and discuss it with my parents. Later on I researched more online and find out more on this topic. I'm not a religious person. I don't belong to any particular religious group, but consider myself spiritual. I was able to realize I was dreaming several times and take some sort of control on my dreams but usually instead of waking up i would get "stuck" on this sleep/awake state. To leave that state I usually just tried to fall asleep again and wake up next morning normally. I sometimes hear a loud loud crack or just "radio noise", a lot of times I clearly hear conversations but i don't really understand them or identify the voices. Since I went to college this experiences were not as recurrent. so far it has happened 6 times in 3 years. I was never really into learning how to have this experiences since the "stuck" sensation was a horrible one. Whenever I told friends and other people, they just suggested it was a nightmare. But I can hear things in my surroundings and I remember once I was traveling with my family and I fell asleep in the car and got "stuck" again and I could hear them talking. when I woke up I told them about it and what I heard them saying. They looked at me a little worried but were never really impressed.

That's just some background about me. I would like people to try and interpret this dream. I really feel there is something off about it.

My Dream:
So I'm in a car next to a river in what seems to be a forest or something. i looked outside the windows and i see many bats hanging from the ceiling of some sort of arch and then a group of sloths start climbing the ceiling, grabbing a bat and jumping to the river. After a while there are not more sloths but some bats remain in the ceiling. When I look inside the car, there are earthworms near my feet so I open the door and try to get rid of them.
That's all I can remember.

Thanks in advance!
