I first went to bed and had a dream, a nice dream. I was in a large room, kinda dark (dim). It was for an anime convention and I was waiting in line. The people running the convention doing the registration were being jerks saying I can't leave yet. I was with my friend from high school who I am going to an anime convention with on Saturday. She was really shy, but she was showing signs that he liked me and we kissed a few times. (Very vivid and enjoyable) After kissing, I noticed this one guy sneak out of the room through one of the doors while the registration wasn't paying attention. I thought to myself "I can sneak out too, I wanna look around the convention". So while the registration guy, he was fat and wearing a pink shirt had his head down I made my way to the door. When I got to the door there was a line waiting outside and a lady part of the convention/registration said, "alright looks like they are done, you can now go in". I was pretty sure she was referring to the lined up people. I then walked over to where I could get some lunch with my friend and my old Fluid Dynamics teacher was one of the waiters. The transition from there was blurry, but I think I was having a FA. I woke up in my room and I wasn't sure I was awake yet, but I was moving sluggish and in a slightly paranoid state. I turned on the light and walked into the living room. The scenery was exactly as my real house is. I turned on the TV but all the channels were tinted red. That's when I realized I was in a dream. I was freaked out because I've had sleep paralysis before and its always horrifying. I went back to my room, maybe ran and I closed the door behind me. I thought about going back into bed to wake up, but I decided to instead stay up against the door so no one could get in. Then I started saying to myself. "wake up wake up, wake up, wake up" and moving my fingers to my eyes to open my eyelids. I woke up for real this time and it was 2:30am. I called my boyfriend to tell him my dream and went into the living room and turned on the TV. I stayed up till 4:50, letting the dog out, doing some homework, taking a shower and watching TV. I was really tired again and wanted to go back to sleep. I turned my nightlight on and went to sleep on my side, hoping to lucid dream. (I've only done it once before) I woke up in bed, and I couldn't move. I was in a sleep paralysis again. I struggled and screamed tried to rolling and falling. I woke up again in bed, on my side where I had fallen asleep, my light was on, my bed sheets were accurate, my room was accurate my laundry basket and everything in place, but again I couldn't move. I decided I wanted to turn on the light, but for some reason again I was moving very slow. I again realized I was in sleep paralysis still, but I slowly reached for the light, breathing steadily to calm my nerves. When my fingers reached the light I flipped it but nothing changed. I flipped it over and over again. I was in a still very paranoid state. I brought my hands back and lay there, and flipped onto my back. I then heard a male voice coming from the left side of my head in a whisper "listen to me". I was freaking out, so I turned onto my side again to the right and saw the shadow of my laundry basket, which is always there. Then the shadow turned into the shadow of a man. I was horrified and screamed "wake up, wake up, wake up". I woke up for real this time, 5:30 turned on the light and started googling sleep paralysis.
