one of my first lucid nightmare experiances
In this dream I opened my front door and went inside my house
and quickly became aware that their was an unexpected presence inside with me as i walked into my kitchen someone held a knife to my throat. i could see the set of kitchen knifes on the work top with one missing and desperatly tried to reach for one but couldnt, struggling i managed to grab a loaf of bread and stuff it in my attackers face forcing myself free to run into my back garden! (as if that would work!, but hey i was dreaming), as i ran outside i remembered that i had seen a pole on the shed floor before, so i decided i would use this as a weapon. I could feel that i had little time as he was coming out the back door so i ducked in side the shed for the pole which once retrieved turned into a useless scrap of wood!, defenseless and terrified that i was about to die, i was about to give in when i became lucid.Realising i was dreaming i tried to take control by telling the attacker that i was in control and that he had to do whatever i said i wasnt convinced that he would believe me and wasn't surprised to see him sneer back at me! panicing i decided to shout louder ordering him to stay at the bottom of the garden untill i said he could move, to my relief he turned his back and stood waiting for my command!!
I ran out my frontdoor and stood in the empty dark street outside my house and looked up to the sky and repeatedly screamed for myself to :o "wake up!"
then i woke up in my bed relieved and astonished at the way in which i had escaped that horrible nightmare. :o
