Thread: First LD with an unnerving FA.

This is a dream I had yesterday morning, and being new I hope this is in the correct forum, I have always been really interested in LD but never able to have them, I find I am always to accepting of all situations, and it was only through talking to my friend about Reality Checking and being aware of strange things, that i was able to have this one.

This might be a bit long, I have an ok dream recall, although I dont usually choose to write them down as they are usually nightmares and I want to forget them, I shall start though.

It starts off at the point from where I can remember it, sitting in a loft apartment with a huge glass roof, with a load of girls who were my friends but who I have never set eyes on in real life, we were watching a nights sky full of moons all clustered together, half moons, crescent moons, all stages, the lot, they kept changing positions and some of them were eclipsing, it was really beautiful.

Then New Years Eve fireworks started to invade the night’s sky and we were all standing in a Londonesk square, a new year’s countdown started and everyone was shouting the numbers out of time. I realised I didn’t remember the Christmas that would have been a few days ago, and I thought how depressing it would be to go through January and February again, as it was only April. So I demanded to know from one of my friends to know what the countdown was for, as it was only April, at first they were disgruntled and told me to shut up, then they told me Christmas had moved to April, but I was having none of it.

So as we were walking back to the loft apartment, I linked arms with one of my friends, again don’t know her in real life all I can remember was that she was pale, had black curly (permed) hair and was taller than me, I told her I thought I was lucid dreaming, from the Christmas in April evidence, which she thought was cool, I tried to make things happen, like fly or get someone from earlier in the dream back, but it didn't work, and from reading the information here, i realise it was probably too early to start doing that. Just as we were going past the main entrance door to the apartment building and past a shadowy stairwell, I said to her, I hope I don't lucid dream anything bad, to which she replied, "I was just going to warn you about that".

What started to happen then was I began to hear my brother’s voice, playing world of warcraft in his bedroom next to mine, talking on his headset, I said to my friend, He’s waking me up the bastard.

What happened next is weird, she looked straight into my eyes and said, "Don't let go". Then I woke up, or at least I thought I did (FA), and was having sleep paralysis, a common occurrence for me - i have had both HI and HS from early childhood - , I was lying on my bed on my back unable to move, strangely i could still move my arms. I could feel I was still holding her arm, I could feel right down the length of it down to her hands and move her fingers, but it was limp and like a deadweight. All this I could only feel and not see because my head and gaze was fixed upwards through my supposed SP, and when I brought the arm into my field of vision, my eyes blurred and I couldn’t see it.

After what seemed like ages I decided to let her arm go, which was a wrench as she said not to, I tried to get up but my head and field of vision stayed the same even when I was struggling, I managed to get onto my stomach but even though I could move my limbs I couldn’t get anywhere. Suddenly there was a release and I sat up, I turned towards my pillows and saw the indentations and patches of sweat, through all the struggling, of two people.

Then I really woke up.
