false awakening

A real mish-mash of dreams last night.

1) Walking down a wide open road which I had to cross. Quite a vivid dream, I was looking back up the road waiting for a chance to cross, I waited for a motorbike to come past, then crossed to the midle of the road before a large lorry came past. I was on the other side and I think I was with my daughter. We entered an office and talked about looking something up on a very old computer system but decided against because we were trespassing and left, I closed the door behind me (good detail). Carried on walking and past a restaurant, it was the Paul Daniels restaurant (?!), looked at the menu only two things were on it both pasta. At the counter we could see that the food was sitting in a chiller and it was being put in the microwave to be served. We said it was a bit odd but looked nice and we might come back for lunch.

2) Walking along peeling an orange with my family. There was some sort of ride ahead with lots of water, not really a fun ride it seemed to have some purpose. I watched some people on it.

3) In a house with Derick Trotter. He has to go and visit another daughter of his, his wife seemed quite happy about it. Not sure how I fitted into the family. Then someone came to visit him, I beckened him across throught the window, Del told me to let him in. The doorway was more of just a window with a latch on it he climbed in through it.

4) I think I was flying and became semi-lucid but had absolutely no idea what to do and tried to fly towards something - very low level lucidity. I woke up into another dream:

5) In a bed in a bed showroom, pulled the covers up. The bed was very comfortable and I fell asleep in it again.

6) Fragment. I was going somewhere leaving a large playing field. I heard a scream over on the other side and rushed across to help. Nothing was really happening. A boy was making a lot of noise but he semed fine and I ignored him.

7) Taking the children to school. A muddled dream. I looked at the queue for one school but then realised it was too early, and my other daughter is going to a new school so wouldn't be there. Then I was driving. there was a very small gap to get through with cars parked on either side. Someone was blocking it up totally and other people were shouting at the car.

WILDed before sleep - lots of sinking sensations and sensations of moving around.

1) I was stood at the back of my house with a work colleague. I was pointing with a stick at some overhead power lines showing him where there was a fault, he asked about a church in the distance I knew he was looking for a house locally and was thinking about converting it. We went into the lounge and I introduced him to our neighbour who has converted an old building and now lived in it. Then I was walking back down a corridor past my guitar and turned the corner, I loked back and the guitar had started playing itself, I knew that something supernatural was happening. I woke in my bed and saw the guitar standing by the wall in my bedroom, I knew immediately that I was still dreaming. I wanted to look at my hand to check that but couldn't move, although I just caught sight of my hand and it wasn't right. I thought that if I couldn't move I would try to OBE so concentrated on trying to move upwards, that didn't work. I tried to sit up - that was hard work! but I managed it, then I tried to move my legs, that was really difficult, I moved them and swung around, my body felt very difficult to control and feather light. My legs sort of floated down on top of my wife and I was worried I might wake her up. I was stuck by my pelvis, so I sort of flopped my legs and head down over the side of the bed thinking that I might just drop down onto the floor. I could see the carpet. Nothing happened I was still stuck by my pelvis. At this point it was such hard work and I was feeling very strange so I returned properly to my body and woke myself up.

2) I was on the phone to a DV friend. She insisted on talking in her own language and I couldn't understand a word, I think she thought it was funny, eventually she started talking in English. We had something to discuss, and I said it was nice to hear her voice and we said goodbye.

3) I was with a work colleague from many years ago when I was 20. We got in the lift together at a hotel, someone else got in and we went to the ground floor. I went to a bog desk to pick up a jumper, I was going with a big group of people out on a trip and had to be with them by 9am. I asked for my jumper and was told to wait. I looked at my watch and it was already 9.45. I saw the queu of people behind me being served. the lady was giving out suitcases and polishing them up for the other customers. I gave up waiting, but had missed the trip. The I was in a sort of nightclub type room there was a dog there, I cuddled it and noticed that it had a serious head injury and a maggot was crawling out of the injury. I asked and was told that the vet had already seen it and given antibiotics. I wake through to another room in the hotle. There were people around the room selling services, I remembered that there was a list given out before listing all the things that would be there. I read the notice in front of a stall - I couldn't understand what it was all about and asked the man there as it looked like he was selling drugs, he insisted that he wasn't but I still couldn't understand exactly what he was selling.

No recall, zero, for the last 2 nights.
Had a strange one last night not sure how to classify it!

1) I was talking to my wife in bed, she said something about throwing a pillow (or cushion?) off to the side and it would be strange if it moved on its own. I thought, no, that would be fun because it would be supernatural. Then I was WILDing (in the dream) and it was working I heard really loud noises, quite deafening, and I felt myself vibrating all over. I thought at last! it's working, it's frightnening but it's working, I remembered everything I have been told and tried to think of a dream scene, that didn't work. I went with it for a while and tried to move my dream body to get an OBE, but that didn't work. Then I tried force my eyes open remembering that I should enter a dream that way. I couldn't so I started to panic. I tried to move but realised I was paralysed and the noises and vibrations were getting more intense. I could sense my wife next to me and I could here her talking, and someone else talking the other side of me, I thought my wife must be dreaming as well. Then I force my eyes open and I could see my wife but I still couldn't move and I still had really loud noises happening and I thought this isn't right I'm stuck in some sort of weird state and might never get out of it - it was either a nightmare false awakening or a sleep paralysis that seemed to go on forever. Then I think I woke up properly, it was midnight, and was able to move, it all went silent at last.

2) Finding a seat in a canteen, I moved to another room in the canteen and sat next to an old lady she looked all alone and she was quite angry. Next I was sta at a table for some reason I was handed a sample in a sealed glass jar, I put it down and it smashed. A nurse told me to fix the bottle with sticky tape and it would be fine, so I did.

3) I was moving towards a big gate in a Star Wars type scene. There were storm troopers moving toward me and I was shooting them and I hit a few and they fell.

4) Racing a car around a dirt track

5) In a bank, someone else arrived and was annoyed becasue they wanted to rob the bank and I already had, so they went away.

6) An old childrens playhouse that I was trying to burn. It had a load of other old wood on top of it. It wasn't burning well, so I was trying to put dry tinder under the roof to get it going better. There was someone inside and I just managed to get them out as the fire took. I looked back and the firewood on top still wasn't burning very well. The detail in this dream was very good.

7) In a football stadium, can't remember too much, but I was more concerend about what was happening in the terrace and never looked down becasue I'm not interested in football. In the same dream I was thinking about which girl I fancied as if I was about 18 again, and I was writing down on 2 pages in a book something about myslef, and something about the girl I fancied to compare us, for her I wrote a phrase 'Don't be such a dipstick Charlie Brown', not sure why.

Can't really remember any dreams this morning!! But something odd happened.

I set my totem sound (Android App), which I am using as a reality check reminder hourly, to go off 3 times between 4am and 6am. I remember it going off 4 times and I ended up switching it off at 4.45am, so I obviously imagined several of them. Once I woke up to the sound I thought I was dreaming about an evil presence in the room and I couldn't move or shout. I think I was probably having false awakenings and had a sleep paralysis but didn't realise at the time I just wanted to wake, get back to normal and get back to sleep (I had a late night and was tired) - damn I could have used it to astral project if I had clicked what was going on!
