Around 7-8 months ago I began to look into lucid dreaming, I attempted to try it for a while before receiving no result. Yesterday night It seems that just before morning I had a lucid dream. The only part I remember was actually becoming lucid, I was in a car and looked at the driver. It was my Dad driving the car, It clicked in my mind that since he is in Kuwait this situation was not possible...Anyhow, I recalled everything I had learned previously about how not to get too excited etc. All was going well, one way or another I ended up in my room, hoping my Dad would leave or go to sleep so that I could use the lucid dream for the first thing I could think of (Sex). Anyhow, for some reason my Dad was in the room and had collapsed onto the bed. I immediately stood up and walked towards the door, just as I stood up a girl I knew in real life entered the room. This is when I lost lucidity. Well...I lost the dream, I could see blackness, I was still asleep yet still aware that I was sleeping. Anyhow, I decided "Damn that's over, better wake up". I opened my eyes staring at my ceiling, and looked down the end of my bed. There was a girl kneeling, to describe the girl I would tell you to imagine that girl from the grudge, except with shoulder-length hair, I saw no face as the hair had covered it. Anyhow, she came toward me very quickly saying "Hiya" in a very excited high-toned voice. I only had my eyes open for less than a second literally before shutting them because of how terrified I was. I remember my heart literally thumping my chest with how scared I was. I had my eyes closed and simply thought to myself that this couldn't be happening, I re-opened them and noone was there. I have been told by some people that this was a case of sleep paralysis. To be honest with you I didn't try to move or speak nor did I really want to. It has shaken me up quite badly and i'm having trouble sleeping now incase it happens again even though the situation only lasted around 8 seconds. Is there a reason as to why I had my first lucid dream AND sleep paralysis on the same night? Are they related?
