i was just attacked in my dream
Tonight was the first night I've ever put effort into inducing a lucid the dream. The dream itself was frustrating, but overall a positive experience. The details are not important, but what happened after the dream is. My original dream was about a girl from high school. That dream ended when I attained lucidity. I told her it was a dream and we want. she then turned into liquid and flowed away and i woke up. I pinched myself and it felt real so i laid in bed and tried to process the experience. As I was laying there a shadow began to appear in my vision. It got closer and more defined until it was about an arms length away. Then it grabbed me and started to wrestle with me. Whenever I stopped struggling it did as well, but still held me down. I finally escaped when I flipped my floor as if it had an axle through it that it spun freely on and I ended up on the figures back.
I've been taking melatonin, and I believe that I have seen this figure before as I've been falling asleep, but I've always seen it from about 60 feet away with its back turned to me.
This experience was very troubling. If anyone can help me to interpret it or understand it I would greatly appreciate it
