Lucid attacks

[NoddyMaye]

i was wondering if anyone had been attacked in a strange way in a lucid? Last night i was having a lucid. the first ive had in months.i was getting to the stage where im staeting to wake up and movement,speach and sight become extremely difficult. in it at this one point, this thing came up and hit me and i didnt take alot of notice really coz i have strange dreams and having a random slap me wasnt really a suprise. i did notice this thing was small. like the size of a 3 ur old. and wearing kind of like a black cloak.. but didnt get much detail as it ran up VERY fast,,,slapped me.. and ran off as quick as it showed up. so this was pretty fine untill i woke up and went back to sleep into another lucid... and the dream was going pretty fine untill i got to the point were i was waking up again...in my dream i was in a bathroom and that same little creature came in and shoved me over into the bath!!! and because i couldnt move or speak.i couldnt call for a dream character for help. and i remember being really scared.... any ideas on this

Punt it? if it's the size of a three year old that shouldn't be hard, and the worst it could do to you is wake you up, so what have you got to lose?

Sounds creepy, but it's very normal to experience strange things like this during hypnopomp...when you wake from REM. It's just a hallucination of lingering dreamlike imagery and emotions. Our minds can create some pretty bizarre stuff.
